Authority

“Authority cannot afford to connive at disobedience” writes Sophocles in Antigone. This is also a central concern to Aristotle who establishes the importance of ‘Authority’ in the opening lines of his treatise Poltics: “Since we see that every city-state is a sort of community and that every community is established for the sake of some good…it is clear that every community aims at some good, and the community which has the most authority of all and includes all the others aims highest, that is

ignore it and some protest against it. Max Weber has defined three sources of authority regarding the state. This essay will argue what source of authority Aideed Jr. and Pope Francis follow under the three sources of authority defined by Max Weber. This will be argued through their actions with in public and in private with the people that follow them. Max Weber is a sociologist that has defined three sources of authority when it comes to a state. The first is Traditional which focuses on the presence

The Tennessee Valley Authority There was a time in the history of the United States when utilities such as electricity and water were not owned and operated by the government and instead fell in the hands of private enterprise. President Frank D. Roosevelt changed all that at the height of the Great Depression by expanding the government role in the economy by establishing the policy of the New Deal. One of the New Deal projects was the Tennessee Valley Authority, which was opposed by the privately

Roosevelt signed the Tennessee Valley Authority Act. The purpose of this act was to fix one of the many socioeconomic problems found during the times of the Great Depression, and helping the entire Tennessee Valley region would essentially help a greater portion of the American Society (1). To do this, a central authority was created within this region that focused on the usage and development of resources within the entire area. The overall goal of this authority was to improve agriculture, industry

The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Tennessee Valley Authority had positive impacts on work and the environment during the great depression. The bill proposing the Civilian Conservation Corps was voted on and passed on March 31, 1933 under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In addition, the Tennessee Valley Authority was formed May 18 of this same year to work on easing environmental strains in the Tennessee Valley.

However, the development of the common law approach to liability of the state, and public authorities, for harms inflicted by third parties for whom the state is not responsible, can be seen to be restricted, both in the interpretation of required proximity of the party so harmed, and on the basis of ‘public policy’.

Disobeying authority is never the solution but we should not blindly follow either. Authority is an important part of our society

It is against this segregated backdrop that many of the District’s transportation initiatives began. In its 2002 Transit Development Study, the Washington Metro Transit Authority (WMATA) cited several reasons for its focus on transit improvements. Among these reasons was the recognition that the District was growing but not equally in all areas (WMATA, 2002). Its list of “Promising Transit Routes” included routes extending from areas of traditionally higher-income per household and lower unemployment

We have split the word authority in the title to show that it is polysemous. It comprises two words which are closely related in classical philosophy. These are authority and author. These two terms have different but related historical and philosophical associations. This makes the question of authority a complex one. Modern philosophy and Renaissance interest in empirical science are usually seen “as a reaction to the prevailing stifling Aristotelianism […] taken as synonym for extreme conservatism
