system so that a large group of people can live as one in loving harmony. Nevertheless, history has shown that this is incredibly hard. Even the most sophisticated and powerful civilizations eventually collapse. From the Mayans to the Roman Empire, there always seems to be a glitch in the matrix, a missing piece in the system that opens the opportunity for great failure. Even though this is a common theme in history, we keep trying, innovating and chasing after this dream of a Utopian society. In my opinion, Pluralism is no exception to this continues thirst for self-development…

This evaluation examines the first six chapters of Nash’s work on pluralism through…
different approach if I analyzed a different bioethics issue (e.g. the scope of the doctor-patient relationship). What led me to this conclusion is my former statement. More specifically, there is not a single theory that has all of the answers to answer moral problems. Deontology focuses on actions, utilitarianism focuses on consequences and narrative ethics focuses on attending to an individual’s voice (and sometimes multiple individuals). Furthermore, sometimes rules are wrong. An action is…
For instance, if one ethnic group is powerful enough to deny basic civil rights to other ethnic groups, then political decisions will be made solely to benefit the dominant group rather than society as a whole. To give an example of this we can look at Moldova. In Way’s article “Weak States and Pluralism: The Case of Moldova” he argues that ‘Moldova’s weak state, tenuous elite networks, and polarized politics have provided key sources of democracy in the post- Soviet period’ (Way, 2003: 454), he…
