Responses should be drawn from the readings assigned, videos, and journal entries. Additional outside research is not required. Each response should provide a synthesis of material from the relevant readings, not merely a series of quotations. When comparing and contrasting views, it is important that the information be presented objectively and dispassionately. Use your analyses and conclusions to express your agreement or disagreement with the various authors.
Answer the question with 1 page cites from at least 3 articles
Compare and contrast Derthick’s view on the “Ways of Achieving Federal Objectives” with the Dale Krane’s description of “The Middle Tier in American Federalism: State Government Policy Activism During the Bush Presidency.” Tim Conlan and Paul Posner levy similar criticism of the Bush approach to intergovernmental relations in their article “Inflection Point? Federalism and the Obama Administration.” In light of the extensive litigation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and President Obama’s executive order on immigration, as well as the controversy surrounding the Common Core Curriculum and the “Race to the Top”, do you agree with Conlan and Posner or do you see a continuing trend towards centralization? How have things changed with the Trump Administration? How would Phillip Monypenny view the current relationship between the states and the federal government?

Legal Paper – Bluebook Required

Legal Paper – Bluebook Required

One of the most influential modern views of legal theory is the critical approaches to law, which include: Critical Legal Studies, Feminist Legal Theory, and Critical Race Theory. One of the main objectives of these legal theories is the deconstruction of the law; this is based on a moral relativistic worldview that denies the existence of objective truth. Often, critical approaches to law are used to deconstruct legal norms regarding the institution of marriage and family. In your paper, analyze the influence of critical approaches in legal decisions regarding marriage and family issues. Also, provide analysis on how to answer the challenges of critical perspectives from a biblical worldview.

Unit 2 Discussion

Unit 2 Discussion

The Hellenistic philosopher Epicurus focused a great deal on happiness. Epicurus argued we achieve happiness through three things:

Friends, not necessarily numerous friends, but close friends
Freedom, including freedom from financial worries
Living an analyzed life
Epicurus said that what keeps us from happiness is the materialism pushed on us by advertising, the constant desire for more that can never be achieved.

Do you think Epicurus was right? Should we, over 2,000 years after Epicurus lived, add anything to his list?

No unread replies. No replies.
Our focus for this unit was moral philosophy. Consider the following scenario and respond to the questions below

The year is 1842 and you are the captain of a trading ship traversing the Atlantic Ocean. Your ship was struck by an iceberg and sank. Only 30 survivors remain and are crowded together in a lifeboat designed to hold 8 people. The sky is growing cloud and the waves are picking up. As an experienced sailor, it is clear that the boat will sink if the load is not lightened.

What do you do?

Using what you know about Utilitarianism do you attempt to weather the storm? Throw some of the survivors overboard? Some other option?

Explain your reasons in 100-150 words.
