The definition of the true meaning of life or a life well lived The definition of the true meaning of life or a life well lived are subjects that most scholars and philosophers still debate. Apart from the distinctions between a person’s life and that of a whole, there are minimal findings of life as the logical holder of meaning. Philosophers’ field of life meaning consists of multiple attempts to clarify what people mean when they inquire in virtue of what life has a purpose. Numerous researches on life meaning indicate a positive final value that a person’s life can demonstrate. Zach Braff’s movie, Garden State and Jean-Paul Sartre’s philosophical analysis finding on life meaning, shows life through the existentialism aspect. Sartre’s rational reasoning argue existence precedes essence, while Braff’s film highlights examples that support Sartre’s existentialism school of thought. Both the materials complement each other in the explanation of life purpose, the value of human experience, and the value of community and social relationships. Sartre argues that the primary premise of existentialism is that existence precedes essence. According to…

United States presidential elections of 2016 A dark cloud still hangs over the United States presidential elections of 2016 due to the unanswered questions about a possible Russian interference over the polls. Most people in the country, including the intelligence agencies, believe that the Russian government might have influenced the American voters to put in their favored candidate into the office. The allegations point to the Russian government commissioning people who hacked the American social media platforms to influence the outcome of the general elections. The hackers would fill the social media of American voters with pieces of information that would persuade them to either not vote or vote in one way. It is a consensus within half of the American population that Russians inadvertently pulled off a political and technological coup on the 2016 presidential elections. Contrastingly, almost half of the American population does not believe that Russians interfered with the 2016 presidential elections. The supporters of Donald Trump believe that the elections of 2016 represented the will of the American people and message that the country was ready…

The modern world is more unpredictable and complex The modern world is more unpredictable and complex than ever before.  Most people speculate that we are living in global disorder and an international system that is chaotic. There still lacks a world government, although a worldwide government system is in the embryonic stage and since the USA cannot rule the global environment as it did in the 1990s because of the emergence of new players in the international markets which it make it much more complex to identify current power relations. Globalization is encouraging the reemergence of nationalism since new emerging powers are seeking to gain political powers by national (re) affirmation. Western powers, especially in Europe, are trying to curb the rise of racist, xenophobic, and racist forces due to their inability to deal with the financial crisis effectively. The international community is faced with diverse problems that are having some relation to the environment, and unless there is cooperation, this chaos might become worse than ever seen before. Different tools can be useful in studying global environmental politics. The…

Michel Foucault’s concept of panopticism Michel Foucault’s concept of panopticism bases on a utilitarian concept that was coined by Jeremy Bentham as he explored panopticon. Bentham came up with the idea of prison using an increasingly efficient framework which is branded the panopticon. The panopticon is constructed strategically with a watchtower at its central part. Around frame that which demarcates the cells that circle the structure. Design of the cells is done in such a way that the incarcerated individual cannot communicate with each other. Also, the prisoners cannot know that they are being monitored. Based on Bentham, the framework is so efficient that only one administrator is needed for manning the cells. Indeed no guard can be a solution because each prisoner is engaged in autonomous actions because they think that they are always being monitored. The paper aims to analyze the idea of panopticism with a focus of comprehending how Edward Snowden’s 2013 insights fit into it. The panoptic approach offers an excellent opportunity for government and discipline authorities to handle crime related issues.  Based on Michel Foucault,…

Throughout the galaxy, only in Arrakis planet existed the most demanded drug called “melange” or “the spice.” This made every household aspire to rule over Arrakis, despite its hostile environment.  The house of Harkonnen was in charge of Arrakis and Melange production.  This drug was believed to enhance mental abilities and extend life, and everyone demanded its supply despite its addiction effects. Its control was an immense and dangerous task. Leto’s lead-men, Thufir, Hawat, Gurney, and Idaho, trained Paul in warfare in readiness to conquer Arrakis. The whole house…
