C. Wright Mills was the sociologist who came up with this term we call social imagination. Think about individuality and society for a second and what those words mean to you. Social imagination is showing connections personally and the larger forces of history, individually and the society. The book goes on to explain that we are using our social imagination just by opening the book and questioning it, or when we question college in general. Mills argued we needed to see the social world that was around us, critically. Mills wanted social imagination to perceive situations and circumstances in an expanded social context. The goal was to view how interactions and actions were influential or not towards others and their situations. Though

In the late 1700’s the slave population in the United States had decreased. Before the invention of the cotton gin the South, which could only make money by farming, was loosing money because it didn’t have a major crop to export to England and the North besides tobacco and rice. However, these crops could be grown elsewhere. Cotton was the key because it couldn’t be grown in large amounts in other places, but only one type of cotton that could be cleaned easily. This was long-staple cotton. Another problem arose; long-staple cotton only could be grown along the coast. There was another strain of cotton that until then could not be cleaned easily so it wasn’t worth growing. The cotton gin was the solution to this problem. With the invention of the cotton gin short stemmed cotton could be cleaned easily making cotton a valued export and it could be grown anywhere in the south. The era of the “Cotton Kingdom” began with this invention leading into an explosion in the necessity of slaves.

The epic tale of Gulliver’s travels written by Jonathan swift is one of most intriguing and entertaining novel ever written. It is indeed a fact that this beautiful piece of literature is still enjoyed all around the world by all ages. As the rise of ideas and technology, this story has been portrayed through many different mediums such as musicals, movies etc. although never portrayed as an exact copy of the original text, this story has been altered in many ways to grab the attention of the targeted audience. Despite the amends done to this great satire, it still remains one of the most memorable story’s ever in English literature.
In the early eighteenth-century, Irish writer Jonathan Swift produced one of the most printed novels known to date. The novel, Gulliver’s Travels, not only received recognition for being reprinted an immense amount of time, but also for the satire found within the novel. Swift intended his novel to be used as a scapegoat in which he would reveal his opinion on the English society. Swift was able to demonstrate this satire through the four part plot of Gulliver’s Travels. Each part of the novel told the journey of the protagonist and focal character, Lemuel Gulliver, to an unknown island. Lemuel Gulliver spent a majority of his life bouncing around from place to place until settling in London as a practicing doctor. Once Gulliver’s business in London failed due to the death of his partner, he made the decision to travel at sea for the following six years. Gulliver’s restlessness caused his crave for adventure, leading him on a journey to various islands. Gulliver tells the story of these journeys to the islands as the narrator. Swift uses Gulliver’s journey to three islands Lilliput, Brobdingnag, and Laputa to scrutinize and satirize humanity, often referring to England, and with Gulliver’s encounters with the habitants of these islands, Swift is able to construct Englishness.

John Stuart Mill discusses in his essay On Liberty, whether or not an authority should be able to limit another beings expression of their own opinion. The essay is centered on liberty, and transfers into Mills opinion on freedom of expression and speech. Mill argues that “if all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind” (Mill 20). This argument parallels Thrasymachus’ argument in Plato’s The Republic, because Mill appears to be arguing that the stronger group is allowed to limit the expression of the weaker group, much where Thrasymachus believes justice is the advantage of the stronger. Mill believes that the Harm Principle must protect people from some expressions, but not though. While thought is personal, and only affects oneself, expression of those thoughts can occasionally affect others. Because expression can harm others, Mill believes that under the Harm Principle, it can be regulated. Mill does eventually consider, however, that “the

She has just matched her tutor, Miss Taylor, up with Mr. Weston. She is quite proud of her success and finds satisfaction in it. In her arrogance, she believes that she knows what is right for everyone, and determined to appoint herself Cupid for all of her friends. Mr. Knightley, a neighbor and the brother of her older sister’s husband, warns her not to meddle in the other’s affairs, but she doesn’t take it seriously. She takes care of a young girl of unknown parentage named Harriet. Harriet is in love with a farmer named Robert Martin, but Emma thinks that he is beneath her, so she encourages Harriet to set her sights on Mr. Elton, a local vicar, as a future husband. Poor Harriet is completely bowled over by Emma. But unfortunately, everything goes to the opposite side, and finally Emma knows the fact that Harriet and Mr. Elton are completely unsuited, and that Harriet and her farmer are made for each other. Through a lot of hilarious scenes, Emma comes to realize that she doesn’t know as much as she thinks, and learns that it’s better to let other people manage their own lives.
Mills thinks that society should not reject the expression of an opinion no matter who the individual is. He supports his point for freedom of though and expression by stating that none can be bold enough to say that their opinions are true and that other opinion are false. He added that even if it is believed that a person’s opinion is wrong it should never be suppressed but should be allowed it to be fully expressed. Mills believes that when a person’s thoughts or opinions are suppressed, then it will be believed that that individual’s opinion is not true but false.
Las interpretaciones alternativas son los epicúreos y Bentham. Los primeros, dicen que la realización de la vida buena y feliz se consigue mediante la administración inteligente de placeres y dolores. Los placeres carnales-intelectuales para ellos, tienen que ir unidos, porque para el hombre es un todo, porque éste esta formador por: cuerpo y alma. Y el equilibrio perfecto entre alma y cuerpo proporciona la serenidad, es decir, la vida
