Q: According to john Locke, what is the primary force guiding humankind? By Jessie Being a considerably prominent political figure, John Locke was a British Philosopher. People with a little knowledge have admitted that modern government can undeniably attribute to his philosophy. According to Lock, we are all born from a ?blank slate? or tabula; namely, everyone is existing equal independent of specific class or religion, we are born with unlimited freedom to do what they would like to preserve their life, liberty and property. Without a government to protect people from each other, it would be nearly impossible for people to live out their natural life.

Discrimination is in itself a very broad subject. There is discrimination against certain races, religion and even gender. What about people with disabilities? They most definitely receive the worst of discrimination. Whether it be at home or at work, it is there. It is shown that approximately one-fifth of our country is affected with a disability, whether is be mental or physical. Two-thirds of these persons are under the age of sixty-five. The discrimination against the disabled is something that should either be rare or all together not here, but sadly it is. Even our own President Obama stated "his bowling is just as bad as the special Olympics".

Anti-Imperialist League
(1898-1921) The Anti-Imperialist League was a diverse group formed to protest American colonial oversight in the Philippines. This group consisted of university presidents, industrialists, clergymen and labor leaders. Concentrated in the Northeast, the Anti-Imperialist League was America's biggest lobbying organization on a U.S. foreign-policy issue until the end of the nineteenth century. After the United States signed the Treaty of Paris, the Anti-Imperialist League's strength began to diminish because the Treaty approved of the annexation of the Philippines). When hostilities broke out between Filipino nationalists and American forces the Anti-Imperialist League reached its weakest point.
