Abstract
This paper will discuss the reasons why public speaking by government representatives and business interest are playing a part in breaking down the democratic nature of United States government. By realizing that there are more secret interests, such as business groups and political factions, we can see how the public speaking modem is being transformed into a regime for self-interests, rather one for the people of the country. Jurgen Habermas and Carl Schmitt's opinions on the subject will revealed here to illuminate this point.

Abstract
This paper explains that Jurgen Habermas, in his theory of knowledge as social theory, elaborates on the important relationship between the natural sciences and the science of man with knowledge as its bridge. The author points out that this theory elicits the sense of reading Marxist social and economic theories, alternating with Hegelian concepts of dialectics. The paper relates that the theory of discourse ethics, which can be divided into categories of cognitivism, justice vs. good and universalization, is an exacting form of argumentation because it ensures the participation of all sides will not be threatened by coercion, save for the soundness and force of the argument.

From the Paper
"On the other hand, the theory of relativity by Einstein will only remain up in the air if it were not tested by the discovery of nuclear fusion and fission, which in turn created nuclear reactors for electricity and its evil counterpart - the nuclear bombs of every kind and size threatening the world with annihilation. This then verifies Habermas' assertions on control of the natural processes being an instrument of control of social life processes. For the longest time since the Atom Bomb, the world has been shrieking in fear at the thought of a nuclear war between superpowers, especially during the Cold War."

Abstract
This study will explain and compare Jurgen Habermas's philosophy of communicative reason and John Locke's concept of the social contract, focusing on the roles of reason and the definitions of knowledge in both philosophies. The study will argue that Habermas is concerned with the process whereby communicative reason takes place between individuals, while Locke is concerned with developing a rationale for the construction and continuity of a society in which completely free individuals (in the state of nature) agree to form a society which relieves them of some of that freedom but gives them in return protection for their life and property.

Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of democracy as cited in three major works on the subject: John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty", Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America", and Carl Schmitt's "The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy". The paper elaborates upon the views of Mill and de Tocqueville, who both believed that the tyranny of the majority was particularly worrisome in democracies, compared to other political systems. The paper also outlines the major features of Carl Schmitt's critiques of parliamentary democracy, in which he contrasts between how parliamentary government is designed to function and how it actually functions. The paper further discusses Schmitt's argument that democratic institutions function through corrupt political deal-making and that rational political debate and election results have little impact on government decision-making. The paper concludes that Mill and de Tocqueville realized that the solutions for these problems actually lay within the democratic system.
From the Paper
"Schmitt was also critical of parliamentary systems because he believed that the nature of democracy itself is based upon meaningless abstractions such as equality and liberty. To him, these high-sounding concepts were little more than a sham, for most people care very little about equal rights and liberty and most political leaders care even less. Leaders deliver grand speeches in parliaments and legislatures about democracy, but behind the scenes, they act in their own self-interest. And in society, the average citizen is just as hypocritical, for they resent any action by the government or other citizens that is detrimental to their self-interest, while paying lip service to democracy and equal rights for all."

Habermas's Theory of Modernity, 2005.
An analysis of Habermas's Theory of Modernity
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 2 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Thispaper examines Jurgen Habermas' attitude towards modernity. It is evident that it is characterized by his emphasis on the importance of rational communication. Habermas judged modernity by objectively evaluating its strengths and weaknesses through rational debate. The paper shows that in his view, the demise of modernity demonstrated that when rational debate is cast aside in favor of a rigid reliance upon a particular sociological theory, that theory will ultimately be discredited. In other words, sociological theories like modernism cannot replace rational thinking, they must reflect rational thinking.

Abstract
This twelve-page graduate paper discusses how Habermas's theory could be useful to feminism. Habermas's theory plays a balancing act in feminism. It neither accepts the radical nature of those who use feminism to complain of repression. Nor does it dismiss feminism. Habermas has played a useful role in reminding people of the basis of feminism, and the need for universalism, equality and tolerance. His theory has influenced many in the struggle for justice.

Abstract
This paper relates that evaluating and comparing human personality theories requires an examination of the history of psychology and an appraisal of the most prominent theorists. The author points out that Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers have influenced psychology profoundly with distinctly different approaches to therapy. The paper explains that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Carl Rogers' humanistic therapy each have their strengths and weaknesses, but humanistic psychology seems to have much greater potential than Freudian analysis.
From the Paper
"In evaluating personality theory, it is important to examine the professional history and experiences of the theorists themselves, for these factors inevitably influence the formulation of their theories. We are all products of our own distinctive life experiences, and famous psychologists are no exception. Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers were each influenced consciously and subconsciously by their own unique heredity, their respective professional environments, and a host of other personal, educational, and professional circumstances and events. The respective theories of personality they each constructed reflect all of these influences. Robbins (1999) notes that psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud more than a century ago."

Abstract
In the first segment of this paper the techniques and theoretical perceptions used in symbolic/experiential family therapy are outlined. The paper mentions that Virginia Satir and Walter Kemplar are also seen as having had equal, initial importance in the birth of experiential family therapy. However, the paper concentrates mainly on the work of Carl Whitaker and his colleagues, whose style of therapy differs greatly from that of Satir and Kemplar. The second section of this paper paints a picture of how these sessions of symbolic, experiential therapy might appear in order to give the reader a deeper understanding of the applicability of Whitaker's somewhat unconventional methods.

From the Paper
"Anxiety and confusion are increased through use of metaphors, teasing, humor, free association, fantasy, confrontation or silence. The underlying premise being that the way to promote individual growth and family cohesion is to liberate effects and impulses. This is often referred to as "expanding the symptom" and is done to refocus the family members on the problem as within the family, as opposed to one person having the problem. (Connell, et al.; 1999, pp.53)"

Abstract
This paper examines the life and ideas of Carl von Clausewitz, the famed military strategist and intellectual who served as a general in the Prussian army in the late nineteenth century. The paper can roughly be divided into three parts, centered around Clausewitz's modern relevance: his core ideas; the misapplication of those ideas in Nazi Germany; and their application in modern warfare."
From the Paper
"Unlike many individuals who have tried to have an influence on our understanding of war, Carl von Clausewitz was actually successful. He was Prussian general who lived in the late 18th century and early 19th centuries. He has had a significant impact on the way in which we understand war and its place in our world. This impact has been definable and dramatically affected how we understand warfare. The purpose of this paper is to isolate some of Clausewitz's core ideas about warfare and then demonstrate how modern warfare has been affected by these ideas. As examples, I will draw on Nazi Germany - where military theorists misapplied some of Clausewitz's core ideas - and the modern age of warfare - characterized by technology and terrorism. Unlike other war historians and strategists, Clausewitz avoided maxims."
