Robert Putnam on “Democracy”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Robert Putnam’s “Democracy”. Robert Putnam’s “Democracy” tells of the importance of social capital in modern day democracy. Overall, it can be said that communities and countries which exhibit higher degrees of social capital and interaction also shift the idea of the “me” or self-interest to that of the “we” in regards to local and national interests. Social capital and involvement in social and voluntary groups on community levels make citizens more aware of the democratic process and also increases their awareness of participation, reciprocity and trustworthiness. These qualities in turn lead to higher voter turn out, political awareness and responsibility. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Rousseau And Legislation
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Within the realm of life exists inherent elements to one's existence; paramount to man's existence is the concept of natural rights. Philosophers have long postulated what, exactly, these rights consist of within the massive scope of mortality, with some contending that natural rights are those that are without social infiltration, while others attest to the fact that natural rights are doled out only by social status. Jean Jacques Rousseau's stance upon legislation mirrored many other philosophers throughout history, contending that the quest for common good might not always be the best resolution for all concerned.

[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Comparing Rousseau's "The Social Contract" and Marx's "The Communist Manifesto" finds that neither man relished the way in which the world was heading, with both clearly acknowledging how humanity's quest for social, economic and political development was being foiled by an unrelenting desire for power and competition that, according to their insightful contention, would eventually pull apart the very community intended to come together.

Rousseau, Burke And Tocqueville: Political Ideology, Society And Individualism
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Alexis de Tocqueville analyzed the pitfalls of individualism when he wrote Democracy in America, while Edmund Burke, in Reflections of the French Revolution, condemned diversity, nonconformity and individualism. Jean Jacques Rousseau critiqued community value within the literary boundaries of his Basic Political Writings. Is there such a thing as too much individualism? Does a community have rights? Do the rights of the individual outweigh those of the community? Clearly, the notion of political ideology delves much deeper within the very essence of society than many people realize.

Russia and France and the Constitutional Division of Powers
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the value of the Constitutional provision for separation of powers. The author contends that to understand the impact of this attempt at separation of power it becomes useful to look at a more long-standing example of such a separation, that of France. This task is further enabled with a comparison of the manner in which the U.K. differs in its approach to government. It can be contended that while the concept of separation of power is an integral component of a successful republic, that separation undergoes an evolutionary process which allows it to become more successful the longer it is in operation.

Samuel P. Huntington's "The Clash Of Civilizations": Disagreeing With The Author's Assumptions, Analysis And Conclusions
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Samuel P. Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations is considered to be a romantic expression by critics, encouraging readers to conjure up huge armies divided by race, language and religion, moving forward across thousands of miles of battlefields, brandishing cross and cresent banners. The truth according to these critics, however, is quite divergent from Huntington's interpretation, which is significantly uglier, more complex, and pathetic. Those who find flaws in Huntington's stance contend that his self-aggrandizing treatment and sweeping generalizations make for a highly ivory-towered interpretation of cultural conflict.

Self-Government And Knowledge
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. People whose desire is to self-govern must arm themselves with the power of knowledge. Amassing this knowledge, however, is as much of a concern as is the implementation of it. For those who want to govern themselves, the first thing that must be determined is what type of system they will follow; for the most part, it is highly likely that a self-governing people will opt for democracy. Understanding the fundamental basis of democratic government provides the very foundation upon which a solid, successful self-government operates; without primary working knowledge of democracy, the governmental system would soon stall and die.
