Book Reflection: The American Dream Andrew Delbanco’s book argues that the American culture has according hope as it is developed on three key concepts; God, Nation, and self. In the book, a quote from Michael Oakeshott notes that hope is finding some end that can be pursued intensively rather than a mere instance and desire (Delbanco 4). I totally agree with this statement since hope should is about finding something which can inspire an individual for an extended period but not just in the short-term. In my definition, Hope is the desire arising from expectations for something to happen. This desire should be able to push an individual toward achieving the desired expectations. Hope should create a state of optimism in an individual’s mind on the bases of positive outcomes in personal circumstances and events. Another idea in Delbanco’s book which I agree with is in the statement which opines that history is a ‘tidal rhythm’, in which ideas are dominant for a short period and then fade away giving way for new ideas. Throughout history, no ideas have been…

Humans and Neanderthals Neanderthals had a bilateralized brain which is linked to speech. This means that they had brain laterality which is the same to that of modern humans, implying that they may have talked. There is enough evidence to prove that they could speak. The Neanderthals also had a high cognitive ability which can be proven through the tools that they developed and used. They adopted the Levallois technique of making stone tools to modify the core of the stone tools. A hard strike was used to create a separate tool which contained a uniform edge and could, therefore, be used to make more tools. The Neanderthals were also able to leverage vegetation for medicinal uses which is something that is done by modern humans. They also had burial rites that are similar to those that modern humans have. Even though it has not been determined whey they took the time to bury their dead intentionally, it is evident that they had already developed emotions similar to those of humans.

There can be a good chance that the person is wrongfully convicted and they do not deserve the chance to be in jail, let alone be subjects of the death penalty. However, in extreme cases where the criminals jeopardize the security of the people in a state such as terrorism, mass killing of people, they should face the death penalty (Hochkammer, 2017). Utilitarian ethical theory tends to be in support of the issue of the death penalty.
