Elayne Guzman                                   Citizenship and Social Class by T.H. Marshall Quote: “ All who possess the status are equal with respects to the rights and duties with which the status is endowed” Meaning: It means that for Marshall a concept of citizenship bears a certain relevance to present day society. For Marshall as women are recognized in society as much more important and vital citizens, their status and therefore their rights increase; proven to be an excellent way in which citizenship is viewed. Chosen : I chose this quote because as men or women, we are equal to the rights and duties within society and those rights should be respected in every single citizen as long as that person is a member of the community and serves, respect and value the community.                   ...

Elayne Guzman What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July? Quote:   “The evil that men do, lives after them, the good is oft-interred with their bones” Meaning:   It means that evil deeds in history are often more easily remembered than the good ones. The good even when noticed, fade away in people’s memories, so that they die with them. It is a mean of observing that good people are many but that memory of what they have done for the world often vanishes without memories left, but those who had have committed evil deeds tend to be remembered for them.

It has to be remembered for society to recognize and remember what you have done in the past. However, if we do something evil, society will remember forever, it does not...

Chesterton, "What is America?"                       "America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a Creed"     Meaning:      This quote means justice and liberty for all, because we are all created equal. America is a union of faith and freedom, in which faith elevates freedom and freedom tempers faith. the American creed does not impose parochial faith upon its citizens but protects freedom of religion by invoking a more universal authority. That creed is that all men are created equal and that the government exists to give that justice, the justice that we all deserve.      America is a government of the people, by the people and for the people; a democracy in a republic. American stan...

Elayne Guzman Aristotle Politics 1) Choose one quote from the reading materials for each week. "Is it more advantageous to be governed by the best man or by the best laws?" 2) What does the quote mean?  This quote means that should the one best person rule, or should all be ruled by the written concrete law?. The best man might be able to apply a law successfully on a particular case, with all his desires, passion, feelings and judgement or is the written law better because it is free and unaffected by desires,corruption of men and perverted passions. 3) Why did you choose this quote? I chose this quote because in a way, it can be applied to our current Democracy. The executive branch ( The president) will passionately preside with what he believes is the best  way for the "people", with executive laws; while the judicial branch will apply and interpret the written rule of law. in answering the question stated, I believe success is attained when both...
