Описание: Thomas Hobbes is the founder of the modern theory of the state. He gained worldwide fame with his thesis that Man is not, by nature, a peaceful or sociable being but rather always pursues, egoistically, first and foremost his own welfare and advantage. Were there no state, with their laws, judges and police, we would live in a constant "war of all against all". Not because Man is essentially wicked but because such behaviour is dictated by our nature as predatory animals: "Man is an arrant wolf to Man". With this oft-cited phrase, however, Hobbes in fact provided the first modern legitimation for the state. The state, he argued, is necessary and in the interest of all insofar as it provides human beings with mutual protection from the fraud, theft and murder which they would otherwise commit upon one another and secures a peaceful coexistence for everyone. Only the state creates the security of law for all who live in it. Hobbes also warns us against quitting too lightly this condition of life in an established state or endangering it by entering into civil war: "I also show that the condition of Man outside civil society is that of a perpetual war of all against all." The book "Hobbes in 60 Minutes" explains, with the aid of some 70 important passages quoted from Hobbes's principal writings Leviathan and De Cive, the philosopher's key notion of "the state of Nature" and the famous theory of the state he developed as a proposal for transcending this state. The book is published as part of the popular series "Great Thinkers in 60 Minutes".
When he left England in 1630 in search of religious freedom and opportunity during the Great Migration to the New World, pilgrim Edward Fitz Randolph Jr. could never have imagined the vast impact his descendants would have on the creation of America.
Originally settling in Plymouth Colony, he later moved his family to New Jersey after the Puritan theocracy denied the very freedom he had sought. In 1669 the Fitz Randolphs became a founding family of New Jersey. Edward and his sons were farmers and major landowners who quickly became leaders in the development of the province, holding offices in both the local and provincial governments. Some Fitz Randolph family members were Quakers and early leaders of the movement to abolish slavery in the pre-Revolutionary War period. Another helped establish Princeton University.
During the Revolutionary War some were heroes on the battlefield. Afterwards Fitz Randolphs were vanguards of the Industrial Revolution. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries they were architects, prominent physicians, bankers, social activists, judges, authors and members of Congress. Four relatives of Edward Fitz Randolph Jr. and his wife, Elizabeth Blossom, became presidents of the United States. Other Fitz Randolph family members transformed a mid-nineteenth-century manufacturing company into a ten-billion-dollar corporation by the beginning of the twenty-first century.
In Philadelphia, Captain Edward Randolph, a hero at the Battle of Paoli, became a prominent entrepreneur after the Revolutionary War. His firm, Coates and Randolph based on 2nd Street was a major shipping and grocery enterprise in early Philadelphia history. His son, Dr. Jacob Randolph, a brilliant surgeon, succeeded Dr. Philip Syng Physick, "Father of American Surgery," as Chief Surgeon and lecturer at Pennsylvania Hospital-the first hospital in the nation.
Captain Randolph's daughters, Julianna and Rachel, were founders of the Western Association of Women for the Relief an employment for the Poor-probably the country's first job training program in America. Thousands of Pilgrims migrated to the New World seeking religious freedom and opportunity in the seventeenth century. Millions of immigrants followed over the next four centuries. Unfaltering Trust tells the story of one pilgrim family whose heroism and leadership helped forge-and over the course of nine generations have helped develop-a new nation. In these faltering times their story is an inspiration for all immigrants seeking refuge and hope in America today.

Описание: The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of sustainable development and how you can make an immediate, positive impact on the world. We invite you to explore the challenges of sustainable development, seek logical steps to success, and take meaningful action. This guide highlights the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, also known as the Global Goals. It makes the case that these goals are the most logical path to overcoming the monumental problems that face our world. The SDGs address hunger, poverty, equality, clean water, education, and the protection of natural resources for future generations. As you read the Sustainable Development Guide, consider these questions: 1. Do I know the 17 Global Goals? 2. Am I passionate about specific goals? 3. Are nonprofits providing continuous handouts or truly providing sustainable development solutions? 4. How much of my time and resources go towards attaining these goals? 5. Should I (or my company) redouble efforts towards the Global Goals? Finally, this guide is for everyone! It is entirely apolitical, and the primary goals are education and inspiration on a hot topic, sustainable development.
