College Tuition Based on Income A college education is the road to get out of poverty. However it is expensive, and the lower class can not always afford it. It seems like the rich get a good education and remain rich for generations, while the the poor can not pay to get an education, so they remain poor for generations. The gap between rich and poor would get bigger if this trend was real, but the government wants to give everyone a chance to pursue happiness, so there are many scholarships
Plastic is lightweight, strong, inexpensive to provide to consumers, and has a chemical makeup that does not allow it to decompose during our lifetime. This is a problem because plastic’s success in our society is causing us to overuse a product that is designed for temporary use with a material that lasts for centuries creating a buildup of plastic within our landfills. The high mobility of plastic bags makes them particularly problematic in society. Because of Cleveland’s proximity to Lake Erie

By looking though the lens of holocaust bystanders, it was in their best interest of surviving a turmoil period by behaving selfishly. Biologist Garrett Hardin demonstrates in his essay, Discriminating Altruisms, groups that practice unlimited altruism, unfettered by thoughts of self-preservation, will be disadvantaged in life’s competition and thus eliminated over time in favour of those who limit their

Smog pollution in Beijing Smog pollution has been around since the start of industrialization, and there are many cities that suffer from its consequences. Among them, Beijing is singled out as the hotspot these days. In the past winter, an unprecedented amount of smog cloaked Beijing, filling the city with noxious air and causing convulsive coughing among the local residents. Not only does smog cause inconvenience in transportation by reducing visibility, but also, according to a study at
Hardin outlines the circumstances by stating that “Since the boat has an unused excess capacity of ten more passengers, we could admit ten more to it” (131). Would you give up your own place in the lifeboat for someone in the water? Would a boat that could
It seems that a more effective non-technical solution is mutual coercion—to set up strong government regulations and use technical solutions to aid mutual coercion. “The Tragedy of the Commons”, according to Hardin, is a societal problem arising from individuals depleting shared resources (1968, pg 1243). Hardin’s “commons” are the limited resources shared by society that are not regulated. In commercial cod fisheries, the commons is the fishing ground, or the
The most substantial and important ethical problem of the 21st century will be the correction of the vast and undeniable imbalance of the possession and consumption of the world’s material, economic, and cultural resources. In this paper, I will argue that the primary long-term moral obligation the world’s over-privileged have to the underprivileged is to provide those in need with the means necessary to develop a foundation for fair future interactions.

One argued topic is whether the level of authority to administer such mandates resides at the federal or state or state level. An analysis of the United States Constitution provides some clarity.
