Abstract
The paper discusses how in "The Republic", Socrates takes up a great deal of time drawing an analogy between the justice of the city and the justice of the individual person; in the end, they conclude that justice entails the having and the doing of one's own and what belongs to oneself - a conclusion they find lacking but the best one available. In any event, the paper shows how these men are striving to determine the nature and constitution of the individual soul and its educational requirements.

"In "The Republic", Socrates takes up a great deal of time drawing an analogy between the justice of the city and the justice of the individual person; in the end, as our notes indicate, they conclude that justice entails the having and the doing of one's own and what belongs to oneself - a conclusion they find lacking but the best one available. In any event, these men are striving to determine the nature and constitution of the individual soul and its educational requirements. With that in mind, the next few pages will look at the strengths and limitations of the..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how one of the major themes of the Canadian criminal justice system is that of the balance between individual rights and public protection. The paper shows how it is difficult to maintain this delicate balance and critics often argue that the balance is tipped in one of these two directions. This paper examines the balance and attempts to conclude whether the public or the individual is getting the short end of the stick in the Canadian criminal justice system.

From the Paper
"One of the major themes of the Canadian criminal justice system is that of the balance between individual rights and public protection. This balance is ever-changing and involves a need to allow equilibrium between criminal justice agencies and their ability to apprehend and prosecute offenders as a form of crime control, and the right of citizens to be protected from potential abuses of this power, known as due process (Griffiths, 2007, p. 29). However, it is difficult to maintain this delicate balance. Critics often argue that the balance is tipped in one of these two directions. The present paper examines this balance and attempts to conclude whether the..."

Abstract
The paper shows that the zeitgeist can play, and historically has played, a negative role in the development of an individual's pattern of thought. But this paper further argues that mental sickness derived from the zeitgeist must also be attributed to the individual's habit of maintaining himself within his culture's given current zeitgeist. The paper draws on Weiss to conclude that mental self-mastery is as important as the zeitgeist in developing a way of thinking within society.

From the Paper
"The problem of man's individual ability to act in a complex society and exist under a nation state that directs his behavior has been predominant since the Enlightenment. The role of the zeitgeist or the general trend of thinking in a period of time versus man's own freedom to think has been a more recent concern of post-Enlightenment philosophy. A major proponent of individual mental liberty was John Stuart Mill whose treatise "On Liberty" advocates the freedom of man to think what he will think, in addition..."

Abstract
This paper deals with the individual, society and technology. In this article, the writer takes the negative view. The writer discusses the view that society is being taken over by technologies and that the individual would be enslaved. The topic of surveillance is also covered in this paper.

From the Paper
"Many films have examined the relationship between the individual, society and the coming communication universe. The most important of these films have been 'Wagging the Dog', 'Simone' and 'The Matrix'. Each of these films demonstrates how communication technologies can be used to shape reality. 'Wagging the Dog' demonstrated how the news media can shape the political realm, 'Simone' showed how a computer generated person could fool everyone into believing that she was a real person and 'The Matrix' suggested that an individual's entire reality could be generated by computers, virtual reality and multimedia technologies."

Abstract
This paper considers why it collective rights will progressively subordinate individual rights in a society that is plagued by over-crowding. The paper notes how the clamor and competition for finite resources eventually will lead to utilitarian assessments about the value of human life. Additionally, the paper argues that a society that has many people will tend to view each and every one of them as less important in a relative sense than a society that has comparatively very few individuals.

From the Paper
"It is sometimes asserted that the rights of the "common" - the community or the collective - will eventually impinge upon the right of the individual as the population in already-overcrowded nations and globally continues to spiral upward. This sort of statement can be interpreted in many ways and undoubtedly will be interpreted in many ways by people coming from different socio-economic and socio-political backgrounds. Be that as it may, this writer chooses to interpret the initial sentence in this paragraph as follows: as populations grow more massive, the..."

Abstract
The paper discusses the relevance of the Cultural Revolution and pays attention to its indication of how the CCP regime was just as indifferent to the individual as previous Chinese governments. The paper reveals that a million people were affected by events stemming from Mao's play for power, internal politics within the CCP and the demonization of educated Chinese. The paper explains that a result has been anarchical attitudes towards all government, citizens' low expectations of the regime and a distancing of social groups that continues to take new non-socialist forms. Lastly, the paper notes that many who were affected by the CR as children have left China or turned their back on the social mainstream.

From the Paper
"This paper discusses the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976 in relation to very old dynamics of Chinese society that favour the state or the society, ahead of the individual. Through centuries, Confucianism suggested that inequality was a natural condition that could increase social cohesion if citizens worked to respect the proper relationships affecting their lives. While the Communist movement glorified removing an old corrupt order, in a few years a new Chinese hierarchy was becoming plain with the rise of a bureaucrat-official class to replace the Confucian official class of old."

Abstract
This paper discusses the rising medical costs in the US in the last ten years. The paper specifically looks at how consumers have behaved as a result of the rising costs. The theory of individual behavior is used to demonstrate how consumers have acted on the price increases and the indifference curve that defines the combination of two goods that give a consumer the same level of satisfaction is also used to analyze the impact of medical costs.

From the Paper
"It is no surprise that medical costs have been on the rise for the past decade. The truth is that "for inpatient and outpatient services, the costs have been increasing due for the most part to new technology, increased utilization, new construction, and cost-shifting from government payers and the uninsured." (PricewaterhouseCoopers 2009, p.5) With the increases in medical costs, how have consumers behaved? The theory of individual behavior gives us a good understanding of how consumers have acted on the price increases. The indifference curve that defines the combinations of two goods that give a consumer the same level of satisfaction can analyze the impact of the medical costs as well."

Abstract
This paper discusses individual rights in England and America before the Constitutional Convention. The paper begins by discussing the Charter of Liberties, enacted into English law in 1100 under King Henry I.
