Anonymous, the Worldwide Organization of Hackers What is "Anonymous"? Many media platforms claim it is a bunch of teenagers who only take control of websites to cause mischief.

It is often hard to paint yourself as one color when in fact you feel that you are made up multiple different shades. Trying to figure out what ideology I subscribe to most follows this example, as there are many different ideologies I mix with on a daily basis. For example, I am mainly Puritanical when making up my schedule and following it as if my life depended on going to each event at the exact moment and time that was written down. Another example would be my shopping habits, which…

Fox-hunting - A Barbaric Tradition That Should Remain Firmly In The Past Fox-hunting - “The sport of hunting a fox across country with a pack of hounds by a group of people on foot and horseback, a traditional sport of the English landed gentry” (Oxford Dictionary) Two polarised viewpoints co-exist in relation to fox-hunting, people either hate it, as they believe it is a horrendous form of animal cruelty, or they are supportive of it, believing that foxes aren’t like other domesticated…

I am working on the issue on the issue involving the American Citizen Liberty Union (ACLU). In order to find out, why this organization who protects our rights through the Amendments of the constitution is so controversial. This non-profit organization has been debatable for a number of countless reasons. The ACLU faces many civil debatable decisions before the Supreme Court. Does this have anything to do with the conspiracy theory which declares a New World Order? What if the ACLU had something…

Charles Murray is an American libertarian, political scientist, sociologist, author, and columnist. In the beginning, Murray starts by describing how having an IQ of 100 means that throughout your high school year, you were push to the exact point your academic talents needed to…

Mill and Foucault both use the concept of freedom and liberty in their writings to demonstrate the different power dynamics. Mill has a distinct perspective of social tyranny among a liberal structure. Foucault explains the ways in which we facilitate and enforce power through discourse. While their two views give a different lens of power, I would argue that they give a similar perspective on the ways in which a collective society maintains power. Both Mill and Foucault establish a critical…

I will argue alongside philosopher Peter van Inwagen that determinism and free will are incompatible. Exposition (300) Peter van Inwagen spoke a lot about having theories about a few notions such as free will, determinism, compatibilism and incompatibilism, and more. But what do these things mean?…

actions are not determined by previous actions. Putting people in complete responsibility for the actions they commit. Lastly, libertarianism is the view that all humans are capable of making their own choices not basing them off previous events.

Prostitution is one of the oldest and most controversial forms of business in the United States. Though it is illegal in most states, prostitution is a rapidly growing industry. Prostitution will always exist no matter what laws are put against it. If the criminal aspect of prostitution were removed and government guidelines were implemented, then the sex workers and those whom they service, would be subject to laws and regulations just like any other taxpayer. Sex workers rights would be…
