believed the lack of freedom given to citizens of European society to be an obstacle to enlightenment. In his essay, Kant states that, “After the guardians have first made their domestic cattle dumb and have made sure that these placid creatures will not dare take a single step without the harness of the cart to which they are tethered, the guardians then show them the danger which threatens if they try to go alone”. Essentially, he is comparing the relationship between the elite and

Religion and the United States have an interesting relation over the history of the United States. Religious conservatives portray the United States as being God’s chosen nation and that religion influences every facet and procedure of the United States. Liberals try to contend that the United States is a bastion of secularization and that the founders were not particularly religious. David Sehat in his book, The Myth of American Religious Freedom, shows that religion has played a significant role

How do you know when you or the other person is either right or wrong? Is it possible that both can be right? Or that both can be wrong. Most people have a moral compass whether it is built on the foundation of religion and God or the government and their legislation. When we make decision either both or at least one of these two foundations will cross our minds and guides us to what is believe to be good and the better option. In the article, The Objective Basis of Morality, Thomas Nagel explains

After industrial revolution, as America expanded, so did the slavery. As the industries expanded towards south, demand of slavery increased. It hurts to read through these chapters how the slavery was so popular in this era and how they were treated. One master said, “I govern them without the whips”. Another master said, “I should sell them if they do not conduct themselves as I wish”. In 1817, when the when American Colonization Society began to transport a few freed blacks to Africa, but the southern

Islamophobia means “act of fear and hostility towards the Islamic religion” (Alshammari). The media has contributed a lot toward fearing the society with linking various global violence toward the religion of Islam rather than signaling out a group of extremist who has overtaken the religion of Islam. The word Islam means “peace” according to the Koran, but people now associate Islam with violence rather than peace. The society has portrayed misleading interpretations of the real meaning of Islam

The first major point that Sehat brings up in his books is that certain individuals were worried when disestablishment of the national church happened, what is the basis to provide morals for the general society. Colonial leaders at the time thought when individuals were free to choose that those individuals will choose to be immoral and the society at large will be put in danger (Sehat 2011, 16)

“The most effective form of slavery is a system that allows just enough autonomy to give the illusion of freedom, while keeping the public in a perpetual state of indentured servitude.”-Unknown. In simpler terms, what this quote is saying that the most potent form of slavery is when a system just lets enough “self-rule” to give the false idea of being free to individuals while keeping them in an ongoing state of being an indentured servant for the government.

David Walker’s Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World, but in particular, and very expressly to those of the United States of America, “promoted racial solidarity and moral elevation with fervor,” and is as much a political source as it is religious.

indignation towards slavery and racial discrimination. Abolitionists believed that slavery was immoral and illegal and supported these ideas with the two most important laws at that time, the Bible and the Constitution. Although the ideals between abolitionists were similar, their means of bringing slavery to an end were completely different. The late 1830’s brought the distinction of tactics between radical and conservative abolitionists. Conservatives strove for a gradual abolition of slavery while radicals

Throughout the history of the United States, there have always been conflicts between the North and the South. Basically throughout the 1900s, the North and South acted somewhat childishly towards each other about different topics. As the North became more industrialized and self sufficient, the South stayed behind and depended heavily on other countries for manufactured goods in exchange for cotton. The North felt superior to the South, and the South was not pleased about that. Although most Northerners
