Religion in English
"...prefers a democracy to any other system, on account of its comparative
advantages, and not on account of its perfection. He knows it has evils;
great and increasing evils, and evils peculiar to itself; but he believes that
monarchy and aristocracy have more." (p. 920)
Cooper describes a number of evils inherent in a democracy, great problems that
are extremely destructive to a democratic nation. He states that "It is a besetting vice of
democracies to substitute public opinion for law. The is the usual form in which the
masses of men exhibit their tyranny. When the majority of the entire community
commits this fault it is a sore grievance, but when local bodies, influenced by local
interests, pretend to style themselves the public, they are assuming powers that properly
belong to the whole body of the people, and to them only under constitutional
limitations." (p. 930) I think that this is the most detrimental of all the evils. For
example, in this country right now we have a problem with crime. In every politicians
campaign crime is the number one topic. The controlling of it, the handling of it, the
punishment for it, and so on. We as the American people fear crime. We will do
anything to stop it, even if it means giving up our own rights. The recent drunk driving
law in New York City comes to mind. If you get pulled over in NYC for driving drunk,
you automatically get your car impounded, and you can not get it back. This seems like a
good idea to the law-abiding citizens of NYC. They think that the law only applies to
drunk drivers, and they are not drunk drivers. The masses just don't think that it will
happen to them. They will be very upset to find out that the law applies to everyone. I
think that what Cooper is trying to say is that it is very easy to give up your freedom, but
it is very hard to get it back. There are laws being made all over the country right now
that are constitutionally questionable, but because the have to do with crime prevention,
the people are all for them. Once you break the constitution, it is very hard to fight back.
This type of evil is the most evil of all. For the legality of something is not taken
into consideration at all when it comes to crime.
I think that it is agreed by all parties that the prodigious number of sober drivers in our neighborhoods, city streets, and country roads is at present deplorable to the state of our great nation. Currently, a whopping ninety-eight percent of Americans of driving age feel threatened by those who drive under the influence of alcohol, which means that only two percent of Americans are able to fully relax and enjoy themselves while on the road, and with the growing awareness, this number could be on the rise (MADD Online: General Statistics 1). What a travesty! All drivers, and passengers alike, should be put at the same risk for danger, be it damage, injury, or death.
The newly proposed impaired driving laws would allow police to demand a breath sample up to two hours after you get home if you are suspected of drunk driving. These laws violate individual rights as police no longer need to have reasonable suspicion and can simply demand that you provide a breath or saliva sample that proves there is no alcohol in their system even if you have already arrived home. Though these laws appear to violate constitutional rights, they are very liberal. The main reason drunk driving laws are in effect is to protect other people on the road. The drive is making their own decision and must deal with the consequences that come along with it, however the people around them could be severely impacted by their choices. That is where the

Another problem lawmakers face in their attempt to lower the harm caused by drunk drivers is that simply lowering the blood alcohol content for a ...

Religion can be defined as a system of beliefs and worships which includes a code of ethics and a philosophy of life. Well over 90% of the world 's population adheres to some form of religion. The problem is that there are so many different religions. What is the right religion? What is true religion? The two most common ingredients in religions are rules and rituals. Some religions are essentially nothing more than a list of rules, dos and don 'ts, which a person must observe in order to be considered a faithful adherent of that religion, and thereby, right with the God of that religion. Two examples of rules-based religions are Islam and Judaism. Islam has its five pillars that must be observed.
Religion, in many forms, has had the most profound influence on human society throughout history. It’s been the basis for many human traditions, value systems, and conflict throughout the history of human civilization. Understanding religious traditions, relationships, and foundational beliefs enables humans to understand their differences and better prepare themselves to make decisions regarding religious interactions in the appropriate context. Religions are considered to be reliable and important in answering the most profound questions of human existence; where do we come from? What should we do while we are here? Since religion is so important so are the holy texts, because they put into words/ writing of guideline of what that religion is all about. In this essay I will attempt to explore and discuss a passage from Gospel of Luke 10:25-37 “The Good Samaritan” and “Surah Ar Rahman” from 55th Sura of the Qur'an and their relation to that particular religion.

The religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are alike in many ways but they also share many differences. Judaism and Christianity use the bible in their holy scriptures, while Islam does not. Jesus Christ is a part of all three religions as Christianity and Islam developed from Judaism. Many believe that the three religions worship, pray to, and focus on the same god. They believe this as many of the prophets are they share much in common as they share many beliefs. However, the followers of the three religions pray differently and in different places. the religions believe that their god created the world and everything in the world. The three Abrahamic religions have different histories, yet they share many similarities and difference.
The key supporters of this theory were Clifford R. Shaw and Henry D. McKay (1942), who used mapping to review the regions of children insinuated court. Shaw and McKay found that cases of conniving/unpaid status were higher in locales seen as poor hotel, shortcoming, related to how much money and influence people have, insult and transient get-togethers of people/animals/things. This drove them to suggest that wrongdoing was a component of neighborhood cases of associations, advancement, or sound and not on account of individual on-screen characters and their exercises. Shaw and McKay declared that locales settled by as of late arrived people who enter a country experienced a breakdown of direct that a large number individuals would state is "okay" on account of a related assembling of people with a comparative race, culture, religion, et cetera. Basic foundations of social control were along these lines crippled and unfit to control the direct of neighborhood
