An Ideal Society with Greatest Happiness Happiness was a concept that emerged during the enlightenment era. Jeremy Bentham, a philosopher, argued in his book “Introduction to Morals and Legislation” that happiness is determined by psychological experiences (Bentham, 1789). Other philosophers supporting utilitarianism argue that public policies should focus on people’s happiness. Importantly, the achievement of the greatest joy for the greatest number of people is not always desirable and realistic. Several strategies can be used to promote the greatest happiness, although it has been argued that fostering such pleasure to the whole society is unreasonable and unfeasible (Veenhoven, 2007). Happiness can best be described based on the quality of life. Although society can provide the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, not all people prioritize happiness. Urban design and architecture can foster happiness to many people in society. Urban planners and architects should focus on designing cities that attract a huge number of people. Although the towns might be small, the building designs should be friendly to all people as careers and work impact happiness on people by helping…
Effective Communication Question 1 In all Dr King’s speeches and conversation, the language of restraint was evident. In particular, in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” he attempts to reveal his purpose and the envisaged effect through his creative use of ethos, logos as well as pathos. Based on the context within which the letter was drafted, the tone portrays King’s remarkable restraint and composure that is rare. All along in King’s career, several of sceptics accused him of engineering for segregation together with other policies inclined toward racism. Nonetheless, using the power of his tone, he appeared committed to stand for different purposes. In the first place, the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” strictly sticks to King’s eventual intention of seeking to justify his hard stand as being the pursuit of justice. Martin Luther King Jr never wished to validate the deep-seated fears of his audience that the movement championed by the Black was an extremist sect seeking to stir-up violence. Consequently, his restraint earned him a sympathetic audience whereby he managed to declare his firm embraces of tension and extremism.…
Angel Island; A Haven for Injustice The life of a detainee is neither easy nor enjoyable. We take the freedoms and human rights written in our constitution for granted until they are taken away. Being detained goes against everything the American constitution entails about the rights and freedoms of its citizens. As an immigrant, one feels left out and out of place because of them in a new land and foreign country. The unfamiliar surroundings, the people, and the customs of America are new to immigrants, and it is not an easy task to adapt to life in America. The culture in this new country is different from my own’s. Their way of life is also different from the one back in my hometown. The people are welcoming but at the same time, not friendly. They look at us immigrants like aliens who have come from another planet to take their lives, jobs, and way of life. Even though the country’s constitution protects the rights of every person living in the country, the rights of immigrants are ignored by most…

family types that exist in the modern-day society In contemporary society, a family is considered a group of persons comprised of parents, children, and other family members such as Uncles and Cousins. This definition might, however, significantly vary depending on how a family is organized. The different ways in which families get organized is what brings about the various family types in existence today (Oelze, 2015). Amongst the family types that exist in the modern-day society include nuclear Family, extended Family, joint Family, the blended family, and most recently, the family by choice. The Nuclear Family is the most common type of family, and it is made up of married couples and their children. This family type is also known as the family of procreation. The extended family is also widely known across the globe, and this one is mostly build-up of three-generation relatives i.e., grandparents, parents, and their offspring. The joint family, on the other hand, is only made up of a set of brothers and sisters, their partners, and children that depend on them (Oelze, 2015). Lately separated…
Laws on Pharm Companies Gifting Doctors The interaction between different clinicians and sales representatives from various pharmaceutical industries has had a significant impact on the prescribing characteristics and attitudes of physicians (Fickweiler, Fickweiler & Urbach, 2019). The interaction between pharmaceutical sales representatives and physicians has seen doctors receive different gifts from pharmaceutical industries to increase prescription and sales of the company’s drugs. This interaction and behaviour, other than having to change the typical prescribing behaviour and patterns of clinicians, is highly illegal. Despite the unlawful action and associated risks, there exist a limited number of stringent policies and institutions to reinforce strategies that are supposed to curtail the illegal activity (Fickweiler, Fickweiler & Urbach, 2017). Other than controlling and restricting the spread of this illicit business, the government and other agencies in the United States only educate physicians on the influence of such interactions. Educating physicians only serves to reduce the prescription of non-superior company drugs but not eliminate the entire issue. King & Bearman (2017) explains that, in the United States, the pharmaceutical industry spends more than $15…
Law and Power Michelle Alexander’s book, The New Jim Crow, highlights how mass incarceration is occurring as a result of institutionalized racism. The high rate of African American imprisonment has led to perceptions that crime is directly linked to an individual’s race. Consequently, this has further led to the need to continue with the adopted American social structure where blacks are at the bottom of the pyramid. Since the 1970s, incarceration in the US has continued to grow despite a reported decrease in criminal activities in communities. Alexander notes that although incarceration rates are used to measure illegal activity, they have been biased against the black community. Notably, all races commit criminal activities at the same rate, but African Americans have a higher probability of being incarcerated compared to their white counterparts. For example, a majority of Americans link blacks to drug peddling and usage despite evidence showing that white people have a higher percentage of drug usage than other races. According to researches done, people purchase drugs from individuals of their race. However, African Americans continue to be victimized…
The Future of American Society Americans are barely confident about the eventual fate for the coming 20 years, yet increasingly negative when the center goes to specific issues, remembering this modern nation’s place for the world and relation to the cost of living, citizen rights, equality, and the overall individual behavior. Economists anticipate that the U.S. will be less significant on the planet in 2040. Although the vital segment groups have this conventional view, only the learned people and the whites hold upon this belief.
