- 525: Democracy -- Good Or Bad
- ... when the gun fired. This situation is not only an example of the perverse democracy, but it also shows, by Aristotle's definition, tyranny. Tyranny is, "a kind of monarchy that has in view the interest of the monarch only." Obviously, Mayor Daley is not a monarch, but he is in the most powerful person at the city level. He perverted his authority to remain in power. His action was not ... reelection. He was trying to please the "chanting protesters." This can be construed as either tyranny, or democracy.

- 527: Is the Unites States Political System a Legitimate Democracy?
- ... countries, it ultimately decreases citizens' incentive to express their opinions about issues, therefore making democracy less legitimate. Private interests distort public policy making because, when making decisions, politicians must take account of campaign contributors. An "interest" may be defined as "any involvement in anything that affects the economic, social, or emotional well-being of a person." When interests become organized into groups, then politicians may become biased due to their influences ... associations, trade unions, investment banking groups-can pool their money and give up to $10,000 per election to each House and Senate candidate"(Lind, 157). Consequently, those people who do not become organized into interest groups are likely to be underrepresented financially.

The Electoral College consists ... elections or on who is most qualified to be in a position of authority. Congress is also paradoxical because, while it is good at serving particular individual interests, it is bad at serving the general interest (due to its fragmented structure of committees and sub-committees).

Particularly acute is his remarking that it was clear from the first that Steinbeck would never be "a literary naturalist" despite his interest in biology (French 57).

Lincoln Gibbs' "John Steinbeck: Moralist" is one of the few essays to handle ... fuller realization of democracy" (Tedlock 22). Steinbeck has not fared well in the hands of historians of contemporary literature (Telock Introduction XXXIX). Writes Frederick J.

He is unable to give us a convincing definition of his people because, having once reduced the scale ... in order for his works to be understood by the everyday person. His vocabulary and sentence structures are effective, yet straightforward. The dialogue he chose to use aided in captivating the reader's attention and interest. The parallels that exist between Steinbeck's works and his upbringing are undeniable. Of Mice and Men is a typical Steinbeck novel in terms of simplicity, story line, and setting. Steinbeck transplants the knowledge ...
