English 1 Lesson 100 Essay – Should I include reconstructed speeches in my autobiography?

I may or may not include a few reconstructed speeches in my autobiography. I may do this because a few of the speeches I have written for my public speaking classes have material that could be used for my autobiography. If I did this it would probably save me some time and effort. These would also give me a few more ideas for my autobiography.

I may not include the speeches because it will require a decent amount of effort to reorganize pieces of the speeches to fit a chronological order. It would definitely be a waste of time if I have little trouble recalling what would be necessary to put in my autobiography.

Government 1B Lesson 10 Essay – 1. What is Robert Nozick’s point in The Tale of the Slave? Do you think his point is valid? 2. Explain the difference between positive and negative rights, using at least one example.

Robert Nozick was trying to point out that even though we don’t live in total slavery we still are slaves to the government. In an ideal government we would be paying a fixed amount to live in a country, but today the United States government can take as much money as they want from us. Yes, Robert Nozick has a valid point.

The difference between a negative right and a positive right is that a negative right tells someone they cannot do something to you, but a positive right requires that they do something for you. Some examples of negative rights are property rights. These say that others cannot mess with property that you bought, were given voluntarily, or a piece of nature that you mixed your labor with. An example of a positive right is the right to healthcare. This means that everyone can force everyone else to give them free healthcare at the same time. That is not possible and is ridiculous.

Government 1B: Essay- 1) How does the Age of Discovery provide an opportunity for Spanish thinkers to reflect on the idea of rights? 2) What does John Locke mean by self-ownership? How does he think goods in the state of nature came to be owned by individuals?

The Age of Discovery provided an opportunity for Spanish thinkers to reflect on the idea of rights because the Spanish government was trying to decide how to treat the Indians. The Spanish thinkers heard that the Spanish explorers were not treating the natives well. This prompted the thinkers to think that because the Indians could reason just as the Spanish could (because they are human) they should have the same natural rights the Spanish have.

John Locke believes self-ownership is when you buy something from someone, someone gives you something, or you take something in nature and mix your own labor with it. An example of mixing your labor with something in nature is cutting down trees to get wood. You own something if you did one of the three things listed above to obtain that object.

English 1: Lesson 95 Essay – “My Target Audience for My Autobiography”

My main audience for my autobiography will be my family. More specifically for my kids, grandkids, and so on. The main reason is so that I leave behind a time capsule of my life. I would think it would be neat to read about my grandparents lives as children and adults. I think it would be good for my grandchildren so they could compare their lives to mine. They could compare their new technology to the technology I had. They could compare surfing, politics, and problems they are facing to problems I faced. My autobiography my even inspire them to write their own, which would be really neat.
