Humanism Plato in his speeches highlights the inclination of humans towards the goddess of love. Love is a supernatural force that binds and connects two individuals to one another. The speakers used by Plato present the essentiality of having and practicing this virtue. Humanism dictates the placement of humanity above everything else without necessarily drawing in theism. In the speech of Phaedrus, Plato emphasizes sacrifice done by people for their loved ones with the crazy in some instances qualifying as mad which is an illustration of concern, care and living for others. Humans also direct their activities in pursuing love as the speech by Aristophanes illustrates.

The gruesome murder of Laquan McDonald The gruesome murder of Laquan McDonald occurred in the hands of law enforcement officers on October 20, 2014, in Chicago, Illinois. The African American minor was brutally murdered through gunshots by Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke. In their initial reports, the police department had indicated that the use of force on him by the police was prompted by his erratic and reckless behavior that promoted the police to fire. In the police report, it was also indicated that the victim had refused to surrender his knife and that he wanted to attack the police. Law enforcement officers are, in most cases, exposed to self-harm as they routinely seek to serve and protect the people.

Further, the police officers have entitled to the right and an obligation to protect their lives as well as the general public against threats of harm, which…

BOSTON MASSACRE Background Boston massacre is also referred to as the incident of king street, which occurred on 5th March 1770. It was a confrontation between colonialist and the British soldiers in which it resulted in the death of five people. Manufactured goods from Britain were brought to the capital of Massachusetts, which was Boston. The town later became a center of resistance as the British had imposed taxes on goods that were shipped from Britain to the capital. The colonialists opposed the rule as it was contrary to the original charter, which was against the power given to the British over the protectorates. The house of Representatives in Massachusetts began a movement to oppose the rule. They wrote to King George III, asking him to denounce the government. The representatives launched a campaign to oppose this legislation and called for other colonialists to join the movement. The then governor, Francis Bernard, declined the letter, and they were ordered to rescind the message which the house declined. As the movement grew, and people started boycotting the use of the products,…
