What is the purpose of government in society?

admin — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 07:07:32 +0000

Is it to benifit the society or to control the mob? Is the business of government social or capital? I ask this in philosophy because it requires a philosophical answer.
What I really am asking, is government there to provide services to it citizens or is it there to force confomity and obedience to authority as a benifit to trade.

Is it possible to built a society based on loving-kindness and compassion?

admin — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 01:04:24 +0000

All people have in the ground the same thing they want to reach: they want to find real, deep happiness.
The ways to reach this goal are different.
The current capitalist worldvision is based on power, selfisch interest and war. War between concurrents in economy. This is a model of battle.
But is it possible to built a society that is based on harmony, loving-kindness and compassion.

What are some philosophers/psychologists who emphasized optimism and pessimism in society?

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:36:52 +0000

I am doing a research paper for an English project and my topic is pessimism and optimism having a noticeable impact on society. Are there any philosophers or psychologists that really dedicated their work to this topic?

How and why does Plato argue that the possession of private property inhibits the creation of a just society?

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:41:00 +0000

How does Aquinas show that private property can be useful to the creation of a just society? How does Hobbes’ distinction between possession and property permit the creation of a society that guarantees natural right to life and freedom? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each theory?

What should we aim for in order to live a more meaningful and happier life instead of the superficial one that has been conditioned into us? How does possessing truth, the right knowledge, a good education enable us to maximize our well-being and happiness?

If the rules and laws of modern society meant nothing, which rules would you completely disregard?

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 08:23:01 +0000

Society has created guidelines and “laws” which exist only in the human mind. Society is contrived and as much as we think we are individuals, we all conform to these laws.
We are just animals after all. Primal instincts mean nothing, what is right or wrong is defined by “rules” and “policies”.

So, my question is this:
If the world wasn’t like this, if humans trully lived as individuals, how would YOU live?

How do you oppose the claim that education is not an important element in the society?

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 22:16:44 +0000

I need some points on how education is not all that vital to the society, and how education can actually be the cause of other negative consequences (e.g.: social class inequalities). thank you.

What is the most ridiculous / unneccessary part of life in modern society?

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 11:24:42 +0000

Think of it like this: you only live once.
Society has created guidelines and “laws” which exist only in the human mind. Society is contrived and as much as we think we are individuals, we all conform to these laws.
We are just animals after all. Primal instincts mean nothing, what is right or wrong is defined by “rules” and “policies”.

Keeping this in mind, what is the most ridiculous or unneccessary of these written/unwritten guidelines??
If rules meant nothing, if humans lived as true individuals, what rules would you completely disregard???
