Abstract

The United States is currently embroiled in a debate on how healthcare should be structured. The Republicans have sworn to repeal the Affordable Care Act. On the other hand, more than 33 million people are not able to afford basic healthcare services, do not have medical covers, and most of them do not have proper employment (Atun, De Andrade, Almeida, Cotlear, Dmytraczenko, Frenz, & De Paula, 2015). Additionally, most middle-income earners cannot afford proper health insurance or afford to pay health care costs off their pockets. Essentially, this is best demonstrated by the high number of bankruptcies filed due to ...

Introduction: Domestic violence: profile of an offender

In the past, an act of domestic violence was not considered as a matter that merits the engagement of the law. Though men have pummeled, maltreated, and molested their intimate partners for years, the common comprehension of society was that abuse and maltreatment of women was as a part of the marriage. It was only to the end of the 1970s that domestic violence was understood as a criminal offense that warranted the involvement of the criminal justice system. However, there has been much contention as to the establishment of a general, universally accepted ...

Social Construction of Sexism

In an attempt to revolutionalize the progress of women, many of today’s literature have chosen to focus on the domination of the female power projected today in society. However, despite the expected progress and power of the female population, reality and figures could not hide the fact that the women are, in truth, behind as ever from their male counterparts. Take, for example, Coontz’ (The Myth of Male Decline), a study of the real wages earned by women vis-à-vis the real wages earned by men reveal that women still occupy the back of today’s stage in ...

How the composition of government spending changed since the 1960’s

Taylor (para 9) notes that a huge percentage of government expenditure is directed to entitlements as opposed to investments. Notably in 1962, the expenditure on investment was 2 ½ times that of entitlements. However, in the 21st century, the spending on entitlement is three times more than on investments (Taylor para 9). This trend attributes to the fact that most of the government spending goes to consumption, and only a few investments are made. In 1960’s the expenditure on entitlements was approximately 15 percent, but now it is more than half of all the federal expenditure. For instance, in ...

In 1960's the government biggest proportion of its spending went to investment. In 1962, the amount of government expenditure on investments was around two and half times that of transfer payments. Currently, the boat has capsized, and the spending on transfer payments has grown to over three times the spending on investment. . This indicates a drift of government goals. Precisely, transfer payment was mere 15% of the federal budget in 1960’s but currently it is over fifty percent.

What is justice and how distributive justice may be defined? Which holdings and which acts should be considered as just ones and which ones should be seen as unjust?

Two great American philosophers – John Rawls and Robert Nozick - tried to give answers to all these and many other similar questions in their well-known theories on distributive justice. Meanwhile, despite of the same subject two philosophers have quite different views on what is just and what is unjust in a society. Robert Nozick, the author of ...

There are two types of rights, which are usually confused; however, they are different in application. They include moral rights and legal rights (Ayn, 2009). Moral rights are examples of rights that are derivative from nature. These are known to be ...

However, social security is offered to cover many other aspects which includes; economic policy and redistribution, relief of poverty, social protection, prevention, and social and economic measures that are intended to benefit the entire society.
