Crises there will continue to be. In meeting them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small, there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties.
There will always be some kind of trouble.
crystallized for me the notion that there is no freedom without political equality.
Im going to start off by saying that hypothesis annoys me sometime with the highlighting and such, I feel that this is the best explanation, this is the best point, this is the most Lamens way of making her point. After reading this I knew exactly what she was talking about, I had an idea of how equality wasn't the same as freedom but this context really puts a defining point on her argument.
My day students wanted to know what it meant for Antigone, as a woman, to stand up for herself in the male-dominated world of ancient Greece. My night students wanted to know whether Antigone's cour-age was something they could learn from to stand up for themselves, for instance, with their bosses
I never thought about the comparison being philosophical instead of mere statics on performance or the how much effort either group put in. Looking at the sociological side of the comparison is really eye opening and seeing how people respond differently to text based on their situation.

This has been the first time I have read all of the declaration.
The implication is that decisions reached in this way must command respect. If citizenship is invoked in the defence of rights, the corresponding duties of citizenship cannot be ignored. These do not require a man to sacrifice his individual liberty or to submit without question to every demand made by government.
Yes, our system is set up protect our rights but in protecting everyones rights we also impede the rights of certain groups that are viewed poorly, i dont hate the rich because one day i want to be considered rich. Growing up poor i hated the rich and coming to up with friends who had more money when i was in high school gave me new perspective. they fear being too rich because of unjust tax laws where they are penalized for making money, long hard hours and the commitment and everything that goes into making alot of money is not seen and so the majority, poor people, bitch and it becomes a demographic for people to make money off of hurting people like them. this is really vague and i apologize
The general effect of sodal insurance, when connned to an income group, was similar. It differed in that there was no means test. Contribution gave a right to benent. But, broadly speaking, the income of the group was raised by the excess of benents over total expenditure by the group in contributions and additional taxes, and the in-co me gap between this group and those above it was there-by reduced.
This sounds like an inequality. Its hard to explain what exactly to say to this, the minority want was equality until it hits them and then they argue about it. Tax the rich till they only live on half lf what they make and tax us where we make money for being poor, sound right doesn't it. Ps im sorry, im in a bad mood.
It is true that dass still functions. Social inequality is regareled as necessary and purposeful. I t provides the incentive to effort and designs the distribution of power. But there is no over-all pattern of inequality,
Equality its self is an inequality. To be individual is to be different which is going to vary in what that person needs, everyone argues about inequality but its just there and no matter how you reform it, it will continue to be there because everyone wants to be dif
Its evolution involved a double process, of fusion and of separation. The fusion was geographical, the separation functional. The first important step dates from the twelfth century, when royal justice was established with effective power to define and defend the civil rights of the indi-vidual-such as they then were--on the basis, not of local custom, but of the cOlnmon law of the land.
So status is due to the fact of who has what.

Hurts but it is, a great nation brought to its knees by unfairness to their fellow man, a country founded on the freedoms of the person.

I like that he is standing by and providing evidence of why is argument is valid in such detail.
as each representative will be chosen by a greater numberof citizens in the large than in the small republic, it will be more difficult for unworthy candidates to practice with success the vicious arts
The Republic model helps with corruption and with the help of the people it shouldnt arise.
A republic,
Madison just makes a point that the a republic would solve the issues of a pure democracy.
pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens,
A Democracy that everyone invisions would work on a smaller scale where the whole community could speak but on the scale that Madison is talking it is too large for every man to be heard.
action cannot be removed
Separation is not possible because it is liberty that fuels separation and freedom to align with who ever chooses.
So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities,
Everyone is doing good in their intent but cant empathize with there counterpart to see the damn they bring
he protection of these faculties isthe first object of government
The government is to help protect people from special treatment from organization such as factions so that everyone is on the same level.
Liberty is to faction what air is to fire,
People group together, it happens. With freedom like minded people will come together and make faction, factions separate people and separated people don't associate with other.
By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community

So this article talks about all citizens should be equal but ends with that there will always be an imbalance.

But here lies the problem with the idea of diverse citizenship and my last annotation.

I entertain the idea that there could be two different kinds of citizens, those who morals and action better the nation are considered true citizens and there also be a citizen that is given as to protect a person of their rights.

lays out what a citizen is and what it isnt.
You, their survivors, must determine to have as unaltering a resolution in the field, though you may pray that it may have a happier outcome.
In any war or battle throughout history, there has always been the struggle for survivors to continue having the courage to fight. On top of this, as any soldier would, they pray to come home safely after the battle is over and done with, which can lead to the choice of losing that courage to stay and fight, or it can strengthen their courage.
instead of looking on discussion as a stumbling-block in the way of action, we think it an indispensable preliminary to any wise action at all.
This is a claim about how in other places discussion can be seen as a wall that slows the process of action, but here it is seen as a wise action to discuss things.
And I could have wished that the reputations of many brave men were not to be imperiled in the mouth of a single individual, to stand or fall according as he spoke well or ill.
This is an important observation because it shows that having only one person give an eulogy and how his words will affect how people might view him is not a perfect system. If multiple people talked about one individual, it would show more of who they were.
