  • I Am Centerville, Neither Republican nor Democrat

    As I mentioned earlier, I am indecisive to being Republican or Democrat, because there are some things that I support and some things I do not support on both sides. These things include abortion rights, death penalty, gun control, education, and welfare. For rights on abortion, the Democratic Party favors it while the Republican Party opposes it. I favor the Democrats Party on abortion rights. According to the article, “Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs”, “A woman has the right to decide what happens with her body… The decision to have an abortion is a personal choice of a woman regarding her own body and the government must protect this right”. In my opinion certain situations such as rape could cause a woman to become pregnant and to have an abortion, and I believe that it is the women’s decision to either keep the baby or not. As for the death penalty, the Democratic Party opposes ...

    Economics is the study of currency and how it is made and distributed through our economy. Taxation is one of those main issues in this category. The Democrats and Republicans both consider taxation a major issue but both have different ways they are trying to deal with the problem. The Democrats believe that extending tax cuts to the middle class families of America that make less than 250,000$ a year while raising taxes on the extremely wealthy and huge corporations to help parents pay for college (“Democrats Unveil”). While the Republican Party says it would “try to eliminate taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains altogether for lower and middle-income taxpayers also would work to repeal the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax” (“Democrats Unveil”). They both want to change the tax policy to try to help pay off our debt and or help Americans to live an easier life. Another Key issue in this category is Medicare. Both parties believe that the Medicare policy should be changed. "Democrats adamantly oppose any efforts to privatize or voucherize Medicare" when the Republicans pledge...

  • Different Points of View on Abortion

    1300 Words  | 3 Pages

    Abortion is the act to remove the embryo or the fetus from the mother's womb in order to end pregnancy. It is practiced by two techniques, medical abortion and surgical abortion. Medical abortion is the process of taking pills, and surgical abortion implies a surgery to remove the foetus (1). In the past, the availability of abortion would have never been guessed. Now, in Canada, abortion has been legalized since January 28th in 1988. The Supreme Court of Canada passed a law which states that abortion is possible during the nine months of pregnancy. Provinces decides on the regulations on how and when the abortion is be performed (2). However, abortion has always created controversy, because some think that it is cruel to kill an unborn life, while others think that it is a fundamental human right. Seeing both side of the issue, should abortion be allowed in today's society? In an kantian point of view, abortion has to be prohibited since the act to abort cannot be applied as an universal law. On the other hand, abortion would be permitted in an utilitarian viewpoint, because it maximizes the best outcome and increases happiness of everyone. I, personally, think that abortion is unethical due to the interpretation of the fetus as an object.

    Within the “Defense of Abortion,” Thompson insinuates an underlying principle, in which she highly values the principle of autonomy, as seen in her essay conversing the illegality of drug use. The implication of the principle of autonomy is an exercise of the belief that an adult is entitled to and has complete control over their body. Thompson’s argument begins with the willingness to take on the initial claim that nothing can be done to end a fetus’ life, insinuating that an abortion is impermissible even to save the mother. The response to this claim stated, “Doesn’t anyone have the right to defend themselves in the face of impending death?”

  • The Debate Over Abortion

    2021 Words  | 5 Pages

    With the ongoing debate and the advancement of technology in determining the viability of a fetus, abortion, the ending of a pregnancy by removing a fertilized egg, has become increasingly controversial. The morality of abortion has caused many to separate into opposite sides of the spectrum, pro-life and pro-choice.

    One of the most debatable topics even in today’s society is the right to abortion. Some people believe that life starts at conception and that even an unborn child deserves the same legal protections as an adult. Pro-life advocates argue that ending its life is similar to murder (POLS210, n.d.). Mean while, others also known as Pro-Choice believe it begins at birth and that with laws that restrict abortion it gets in the way with the right of a woman to make a decision of what is in her own best interest (U.S. History, n.d.).

While modern culture explains that abortion is a woman’s free choice if she does not want the unborn baby, the Catholic Church teaches the world that from the moment of conception there is a child with a soul within the womb, and to abort it would be to murder an innocent being.

  • A Stance on Abortion

    1013 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the most controversial issues in this day and age is the stance people take on abortion. The two main positions that people take are either of pro-choice or pro-life; both sides, although polar opposites, tend to refer to both the issue of morality and logical rationale. The pro-life side of the debate believes that abortion is an utterly immoral practice that should be abolished. On the contrary, abortion should remain a legal procedure because it is a reproductive right; its eradication would not only take away the pregnant person’s autonomy, but would also put more children in financially unstable homes and the adoption system, and would cause an increase in potentially fatal, unsafe abortions.

    Currently, views on abortion are inconsistent among the public. Since it is a complex issue there are multiple parts that affect a person’s opinion, and they are often divided. This leads to a struggle for policy makers to reflect the public’s desires on laws regarding abortion, because there are a variety of topics to cover. Table 1 shows the public’s views on the legality of abortion, in regards to various cases when people feel it should be permitted. The majority of individuals support legalized abortion in at least one case. For example, 88.4% of the population believes abortion should be permitted in some instance, mainly from the 45.7% of respondents who believe abortion should always be permitted as a matter of it being a woman’s choice

  • The Impact of Liberalism on International Relations

    2018 Words  | 5 Pages

    To start, Liberalism traces its roots back to the Enlightenment period (Mingst, 2008) where many philosophers and thinkers of the time began to question the established status quo. Such as the prevailing belief in religious superstition and began to replace it with a more rational mode of thinking and a belief in the intrinsic goodness of mankind. The Enlightenment period influenced Liberalism’s belief that human beings are thinkers who are able to naturally understand the laws governing human social conduct and by understanding these laws, humans can better their condition and live in harmony with others (Mingst, 2008). Two of the most prominent Liberal Internationalists of the Enlightenment period were Immanuel Kant and Jeremy Bentham who both thought that international relations were conducted in a brutal fashion. It was Kant who compared international relations as “the lawless state of savagery” (Baylis and Smith, 2001, pp 165). It was also Kant who believed nations could form themselves into a sort of united states and overcome international anarchy through this (Mingst, 2008). This was probably the beginning of a coherent belief in a sort of union of sovereign states. Toward the end of the seventeenth century William Penn believed a ‘diet’ (parliament) could be set up in Europe, like the European Union of today (Baylis and Smith, 2001). We can see much of this liberal thinking today in organizations such as the United Nations.
