- 1621: The Breakfest Club
- The Breakfast Club Theresa Puchta is very accurate in her description of the merits and limitations of John Hughes films.

This is the more familiar aspect of Franklin's God, on which the value of the virtues rests. Cf. John 15:9-17. 7. The connection is made clear in Franklin's book of virtues (quoted in the Autobiography, p. 1388): "O Powerful Goodness! . . .

Matthew 7:16-23; Luke 6:43-46; John 15:9-17: those who live fruitfully will be saved, while those who merely use God's name in vain and do no good works, will be rejected. 14.

- 1624: Male Relations with Women
- ... he insists that he knows best. Her husband tries to control her thoughts and her actions, giving no care to the fact that she might have an opinion. The woman wanted a room downstairs, "but John would not hear of it." He insisted on the room upstairs, because it better suited him. The husband feels that if he just soothes her temper with words, he need not do anything else. He calls her, "his blessed little goose," and that is supposed to make everything okay. John's remedy of taking tonics and plenty of rest is what he feels needs to be done, no matter that the woman is going stir crazy. John operates on the philosophy that he is the man so he knows best; giving no care or thought to the fact that she has an opinion also.

Austin set the utilitarian theory in his Province of Jurisprudence Determined (1832). For James Mill, he popularized the theory in a number of articles. Most of his works are in the Westminster Review. His son, John Stuart Mill, had given a more precise definition of utilitarianism, and had become one of the most greatest philosopher later on. In his essay, he defined utilitarianism as: Actions are right in proportion as ...

Thinkers and philosophers of the time included, Ben Franklin, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and many more. The belief that appealed to most political figures of the time, was deism. Deism was the belief that God created the universe in such a way that no divine intervention was ... their rights to a strong ruler. In exchange, they gained law and order. Hobbes called this agreement, by which people created a government, the social contract. Hobbes basically saw people as naturally selfish and violent. John Locke was another philosopher of the Enlightenment. He viewed human nature very differently from Hobbes. Locke said a person is not born good or evil. Rather he said, peoples characters are shaped by their ... system, with its limitations on royal power. However only a few of them, notably, Locke and Rousseau, believed that people were capable of governing themselves. The others hardly had trust in humans. I find that John Locke is the most agreeable. He believes that neither humans were evil or good. The only difference is that I believe people do fall in certain categories individually. One can be good while the ...

- 1629: Censorship on Televison
- ... of those who call themselves US citizens. Every day, censors attempt to sanitize TV, radio, music, print, and even the Internet.

We have all been given the ability to rationally think for ourselves and make our own intelligent, moral ... in that time slot for the 18-34 year old male demographic. It should not be the responsibility or even the job of the FCC or any other wacky Right Wing philanthropist group to tell John Q. Public what he can see, hear, and read; that is John Q. Public's job. Censors are only performing a great disservice to the humble people of this country. Personally, I find it obscene and insulting the way the government tries to control our lives. ...
