past, there have been laws pass that are defiantly not in the interest of the average citizens, but not all of which are necessarily unconstitutional. I often wonder if our elected officials are in touch with the needs of the masses. In touch with the ill’s that plague our country. Or only looking out for themselves and their wealthy donors. Many others wonder the same. The majority of the legislation has not reflected the best interest of the public as much as it should and in some cases not at all
money to a few to disperse of in a way they see fit to help the race. Most Americans are not willing to give up such a large sum of money as noble and respectable of an idea as it is. I think that Carnegie’s plan, in theory, would work and would be best for the race. I do not think it is practical because most would rather spoil their own family with inheritance than give it away to help people unknown to them. Carnegie’s idea of fair is equal opportunities for everyone to help themselves and the
The child’s best interest is a fundamental principle of the Children’s Convention. Explain who decides what is best for a child. Among four general principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), there is one principle remains unresolved as it is difficult to determine and is open for discussion.

post-divorce (Symons, 2010; Atwood, 2007), 1982 marked the first year where a father in North America was granted sole custody (Amato, 2001). As recently as 1970, there were custodial cases granting sole custody to mothers stating that mothers make the best parents simply because they are mothers (O’Connell, 2007). Today we see many custodial options that range far beyond the traditional scope of sole custodian mothers and fathers with visitation rights or financial responsibilities (American Psychological
adoption. Adoption separates real biological family members, removing the adopter heritage whether the adoption is open or closed. Open adoption can lead to problems, but there are proven facts that open adoption is the best option for all parties working together in the best interest of the children.

lowered self-worth, social withdrawal, lack of concentration in school, and it can change how a child handles their own relationships as an adult. It stands to reason that avoiding parental conflict during a divorce procedure would be in the best interest of a child; however the Court process itself could be considered an antagonist to cooperation. Perhaps the social mindset of divorce bears weight on the adversarial divorce process; perhaps that mindset needs to change. The concept of collaborative
Federalism - The Perfect Balance of Individual and Collective Interest I have arrived at some temporary solutions to problems regarding political philosophy in the real world. For the most part, the debate over the ideal political philosophy has been narrowed down to two choices: socialism and capitalism. I agree with this.

until they are hushed. Poverty exists because some folks can't find jobs or the jobs pay poorly. But then why is the wage level so low? Because of the tax and land-tenure systems.

ABSTRACT: This paper argues that Aristotle conceives happiness not primarily as an exercise of virtue in private or with friends, but as the exercise of virtue in governing an ideal state. The best states are knit together so tightly that the interests of one person are the same as the interests of all. Hence, a person who acts for his or her own good must also act for the good of all fellow citizens. It follows that discussions of Aristotle’s altruism and egoism are misconceived. Why does
I can keep up a good bit of conversation for much longer than my schedule usually allows.

The four principles for effective negotiation are to 1) separate the people from the problem; 2) focus on interests rather than positions; 3) generate variety of options before settling on an agreement; and 4) insist that the agreement be based on objective criteria.
