		<description><![CDATA[I attended the Occupy LA rally and march on10/15/2011. What I discovered was people from all walks of life- not crazy left-wing hippies as the greater media would have you believe. There were doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, students, immigrants, old and young. The message was clear: Get Money Out of politics. The way to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This historical metaphysical concept dictated a belief in real essences- or the thing in any object that makes that object what it is. This idea originated with Aristotle in The Metaphysics. According to Aristotle, all natural kinds possessed essential properties that could not be changed or transformed because they are innate. He states, “Each thing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In A Dream Deferred, Shelby Steele tries to delineate what he refers to as a “victim focused racial identity” that permeates post-sixties liberalism. He feels that this popular attitude has “stifled black advancement more than racism itself”, and has caused a shift in focus “from protest to suppression”(Steele, 4). Moreover, he asserts that an unhealthy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Within the context of the current race debate, the question of whether race is a legitimate term rests on how we define it, and how, in turn, we deploy it. Can we use race to mandate a belief in biological determinism, or should we use it as a genetic surrogate to achieve equality? And, importantly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Plato&#8217;s The Republic, Socrates&#8217; argues that a just city-state is comprised solely of just individuals. Consequently, Socrates is able to define who a just individual is by first defining what a just city-state is, since in his viewpoint, it is impossible for a just city-state to be comprised of unjust souls. So, this begs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eighteenth century philosopher, Immanuel Kant, explicated through his deontic moral theory that our ethical obligations are derived via rationality. In other words, what we know and understand of our ethical obligations must be conceived of a priori, or without regard to the observation of dismal human behavior. From this viewpoint, since the morals of rational [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In The Republic, Socrates fabricates a myth. A myth that, according to Stephen Jay Gould, although designed to preserve a stable society, has unintentionally become the root of biological determinism, and consequentially, Herrnstein and Murray&#8217;s The Bell Curve. The myth, as told by Gould, states that &#8220;Citizens… should be educated and assigned by merit to [...]]]></description>

As such, a squabble has long simmered on the origins of our moral norms, and whether or not our moral claims can be analyzed or reconciled to the natural world. Although the rival accounts have rarely quarreled over what constitutes right and wrong- since [...]]]></description>
