choice to do right or wrong is a part of that freedom, which is seen in Locke’s belief in the basic rights of individuals to pursue their own self interests in the pursuit of life, liberty and property. I also agree with Locke’s concept that in order for individuals to have individual rights we must also take on the responsibility of respecting the rights of others and that if a government does not respect the individual rights of its citizens, those citizens should reserve the right to…
is effecting people. How race can make some people feel inferior to others or even how race can make you fear for your life. One of the major things that Coates discusses is how when he was younger he would walk out of his house and look left and right for danger. He talks about how people never had faith in him throughout his life. How as a kid his mother taught him how to read and write and how by writing about things that he did wrong really made him think about his actions. He also talked…
better quality of life. The gender biases that had relegated women to household duties had also expanded to include obligations to perform duties in industrial factories. The struggle to balance home and work life encouraged women to fight for equal rights and independence from a system of patriarchy. These efforts were especially prominent in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, where women joined together and form societies aimed at combating political,…
would the world be if there weren’t people that helped fight for civil liberties and civil rights? One might say that white men would still be the only ones with opportunities in the United States because women and slaves would still be treated as property forced to do things they didn’t want to do. Americans have achieved goals expressed by the United States Constitution in some ways like fighting for civil rights, and civil liberties, yet there is still a long way to go in order for everyone…

"4th Amendment states: [t]he right of a person to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable…
In supporting the Andersons, I would never have done what Smith did. Mr. Smith does not have the right to refuse to give service to the Andersons. It is his own private business but he does not have the right to refuse service to anyone he wants to whether it being he doesn’t like them for their race, color, sex, ethnicity and sexuality.

fought for a Bill of Rights to be included within the Constitutional framework governing the federal government so as to explicitly codify individual rights under the law. Their skepticism regarding the nature of government recognized state action and the liberties of the individual citizen are typically antithetical in nature and in need of explicit protection. Some Federalists on the other hand were actually fearful of such methods, worrying that explicitly listing the rights of the individual…
going to be subjected to inhumane laws that barred them from full participation in the community.
