The Function and Organization of Authority

RECONSTRUCTING THE CLASSICS
Chapter 2 "Plato and the politics of beauty"

The function and organization of the government is to carry out practical tasks that benefit society as a whole, such as, defense, schools, roads, currency and etc. The authority that is  within the government is upheld to ensure and continue moral order amongst society. The "moral order" however, is of religious pretenses, and not of rational ones.
MY INTERPRETATION OF PLATO'S VIEW ON T.F.O.A
Social instability and personal anxiety is inevitable under the authority of a society that is ruled by irrational pretenses. True priorities are only seen through rational and logical perspectives, that of which can only be upheld by people who understand and accept the idea of logic and reason behind human nature. Those of whom who can understand this will be best suited in implementing rash and just authority over the people, thus ensuring social stability.

OPINION POLITICS: Pakistan did its part By Asif Ali Zardari, Published: May 2 via Washington Post

Pakistan did its part
By Asif Ali Zardari, Published: May 2

 http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/pakistan-did-its-part/2011/05/02/AFHxmybF_story.html


 
In the article “Pakistan Did Its Part,” President Asif Ali Zardari discusses the state of his nation upon the death of one of its most notorious menaces Osama Bin Laden. The President addresses the media, in disregards to their portrayals of the specific role that Pakistan has held during the perennial search for Bin Laden. Many have led misconceptions, as Zaedari points out, of the vitality of Pakistan's pursuit in the fight against terrorism. The President addresses such misconceptions with his stand points of Pakistan being a freely elected democratic party, and in thanking President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of the United States of America, for their generous appreciation in words to his countries contributions on the close of world terror.

How I See It
President Obama thanks the nation of Pakistan for their vital efforts in this conquest for world justice, and to that i applaud, but for all of Pakistan's efforts over the years, is really one thanks enough?

Note*
All that is portrayed in the media is not always what things are. I feel that America is a pompous nation and would enjoy nothing more than to undermine the credit of another nation, in order to dwell in the likeness of every other. So with Osama’s death comes world gratification and who better than to take this than America? Wrong. People need to open their eyes to the world around them, and know that all that’s being told isn’t what’s really going on. Osama is dead, so they tell us, but what’s next. Because with all honesty, I fear that although this battle has been won, the real war has yet to begin.

OPINION POLITICS

Is Donald Trump bankrupting the GOP?
 By Gloria Borger, CNN Senior Political Analyst
http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/04/21/borger.trump.gop/index.html

 In the article “Is Donald Trump Bankrupting The Gop.” Gloria Borger discusses her opinion on the moguls presidential candidacy.  She openly criticizes his bolviative attitude ,and  compares him to previous presidential candidates that she feels were less than eminent for the position. Gloria  also presents the notion, that with Trump headlining  the Grand Old Party, the focus of what’s important, such as current events; the deficit, along with the war in Libya, are being overshadowed . All the while, Gloria speculates that during  Trumps run, the GOP will pay the price for  their birther.
MY THOUGHTS
So I guess trumps trying to run for president, but its all hogwash if you ask me. He’s a public figure, yes , but not a public leader. He’s another TV politician. Personally I think the Donald maybe a little shook with President Obama’s tax on the rich. So he’s stepping  up to be seen and heard for other reasons  that not need be.  Trump has the big bucks. Trump runs things. Right? RIGHT! We live in a capitalist country people!!, and I’m sorry to say this, but money is and will always be what dictates  to our society. And one of the reasons why I’m sorry to say this, is because  I’m broke., which goes without saying, I’m never going to run things.
But as reckless as Trump is as a representative of the GOP, he can do and be just that. Regardless of the fact, of them  paying for his outlandishness, the rich will protect the rich. In a country where money rules, GOD FORBID, the poor.

TO BE HUMAN

To be human is not just in knowing all that is to be known, but to understand life in all its unique and simple ways.

Some of the most ingenious people throughout history, such as Albert Einstein, and Leonardo Divinci have spent there lives decoding and analyzing life in its simplicities just to be able to understand its complexities.

Are African American Journalist Still Relevent???? (OCT.27,2010)



Journalists Betty Baye, Jill Nelson, Dwayne Wickham, Tonyaa Weathersbee, Michelle Singletary, Barbara Robinson, Sheryl McCarthy, Rhonda Lokeman, and Wiley A. Hall the  3rd, are all African-American Journalists, and are all examples of relevant African-American Journalists in today’s society. 

 These journalists are setting the example and representing themselves and their community well within  the journalism community. They provide the inside scoop on today’s current events. From working with big Media corporations  such as MSNBC, to USA Today, these African- American journalists are bringing in incredible stories on national scales.
However, I must say that although these journalist have come to be very wide scale on a mass media level, they are not the only African-American Journalist who are establishing themselves in the journalism community. 

There are others, such as Frank Bolden of the Pittsburg Black Media Federation ,Ann Daramola of CDTech, and many  more who may not be known on a national scale, but who are all known among their community as they write about current events in their life and neighborhood.

And so, as you can see, that as I have stated earlier,  that yes, most defiantly, they are of relevance.
