College campuses have become flashpoints of the current culture war and, consequently, much ink has been spilled over the relationship between universities and the cultivation or coddling of young American minds. Philosopher Sigal R. Ben-Porath takes head-on arguments that infantilize students who speak out against violent and racist discourse on campus or rehash interpretations of the First Amendment. Ben-Porath sets out to demonstrate the role of the university in American society and, specifically, how it can model free speech in ways that promote democratic ideals.

In The Most Human Right, Eric Heinze explains why global human rights systems have failed. International organizations constantly report on how governments manage human goods, such as fair trials, humane conditions of detention, healthcare, or housing.

Heinze argues that goods become rights only when citizens can claim them publicly and fearlessly: free speech is the fundamental right, without which the very concept of a “right” makes no sense.

The Republican National Convention is off to a rocky start after Morlinda Tromp’s speech is found to be plagiarized word-for-word from the hit film, Jurassic Mark. Now it’s up to hotshot speechwriter Perper Tunk to craft a perfect speech for Domald Tromp...with a slight catch. In order to avoid any accusations of plagiarism, Domald has requested that all facts, concrete plans, or rational logic be removed from the statement, leaving only a haze of vaguely patriotic fluff. The speech is a success, but when a physically manifested version of the political rhetoric ends up at Perper’s hotel room, he’s faced with the consequences of what it means to create something that looks beautiful on the outside but is completely vacant within.

Mit kurzen Denkansätzen, die mich in den letzten Jahren immer wieder interessiert haben, und mit Entwicklungen, die ich dazu erkennen konnte. Ich habe die Quellen vieler Zitate, die ich mal irgendwann gelesen hatte, nicht mehr finden können, da sie etliche Jahre alt sind. Ernste Themen, gemischt mit kuriosen Dingen, die mal in Zeitungen standen, werde ich besprechen. Irgendwie sollte das mal gesagt werden. z.B. Fairer Lohn, Gerechtigkeit, Soziales Verhalten, Frauen und Männer.
