The story of freedom According to Jean-Paul Sartre’s Quote Citing the political thought, the notion in regards to freedom in reference to Jean-Paull Sarte quote, that ‘freedom is what you do, with what’s been done to you.’ The freedom allowing one to execute their wishes falls under the concept of liberty, and according to the political philosophy, the main dominating issue is the question of coercion and disobedience (Jarrett-Kerr, 2010).  For the knowledge I have regarding American Politics, our general views regarding the country have been privately confided. The power is very subtle and highly pervasive, hence curtailing most of us not to speak above our breath or anything related to its condemnation. Out of experience, I have come to realize that America is no longer the place it used to be.  A man has no freedom to identify their calling and comfortably pursue it because of the associated inabilities to do it.  The reason is I have realized that there exist organizations that are likely to utilize different means against it hence preventing the build-up of the business (Ndubuisi,…

Contemporary Racial Representation Throughout American history, racism has been a central force. A majority of preachers, as well as abolitionists, justified slavery using racial arguments. The pervasiveness of racism implied that nobody was insusceptible to its seductive authority, black people as well. Presidents such as Barack Obama decried the erosion of African American families during his presidential reign. However, it is notable that the above-mentioned erosion was partly as a result of poor economic opportunity, in addition, to appeal to self-reliance among blacks where African Americans require to face their complicity in their condition. Amid a sequence of police shootings of blacks during the second term of Barack Obama, movements such as Black Lives Matter started as a rallying cry and latter movement. The movement helped to push forward racism as a matte in need of progressive discourse. As time went by, the 2017 polls revealed record-high backing for special treatment among Democrats to assist African Americans along with the idea of racial discrimination being the significant hindrance towards racial parity. In contemporary American political dialogue, racism signifies hatred, and…

Environmental Ethics Introduction Christianity is a group of believers who have great faith in God. They represent a group of people who believe in life after death and therefore expect everyone to act in just ways with the hope of having an eternal life after death. Performing in just ways entails practicing justice at all times. This means doing what you would also expect others to do to you. This is also referred to as the Golden Rule. Others, in this case, represent the family and other neighboring individuals within the society. Believers trust in doing what is dictated by the Ten Commandments. Acting contrary to such commandments is regarded as sinning. Before an individual starts the Christianity journey, one has to be redeemed off their previous sins and declare that they are born again and would, therefore, walk in the light. Regarding the environmental ethics, people are expected to walk in the Christianity life while taking care of the environment and those other animals or species that also depends on the environment (inter allies between the plants and animals…

Reflective paper: Advocacy through Legislative /Policy Influence I have always regarded counselors and psychologists in high regard because of their involvement in solving people’s mental health and social problems. With the increased diversity of the population, there is a need for professional mental health services that are tailored to the various needs of the community. A case in mind is the oppression of people of color and gay groups whose interventions require a paradigm shift in the perception of the social environment through proactive actions and awareness on multiculturalism and the changing social dynamics. Counselors are trained to become knowledgeable and skilled in handling people from different cultural backgrounds. The training is essential for them to recognize individual attitudes, values, beliefs, and habits towards other cultures, races, and ethnicities concerning issues of social injustices like discrimination and oppression. Knowledge empowers one to have a global perspective of orientations, histories, and cultural values of marginalized groups. Skills entail the ability to draw from existing cultural experience to craft mental interventions that address the current problem. In my opinion, multicultural competence influences…
