Identify the concept Order and tradition. A. This philosophy assumes that human beings are born with certain natural rights, and governments are established strictly for the purpose of protecting those rights. Liberalism generally distinguish three or four fundamental natural rights:
a right to life
a right to liberty
a right to property
a right to the pursuit of happiness.

B. There are a group of political philosophies that are in opposition to the existence of a government. Anarchism and Marxism are two of the more well known. Philosophers and practitioners of this group call attention to a point that governments as well as private property began from the authority of warlords and paltry tyrants who conquered peoples and territories. They began exercising authority over their vanquished.

C. Conservatism stresses a maintenance of established institutions, and prefer actions that generate gradual development as opposed to abrupt changes (key word search "Edmund Burke" for more historical background). In contrast with Anarchists, Conservatists generally see the government as a positive force. It brings order out of chaos, institutes laws to end the "war of all against all", encourages moral virtue while punishing vice, and respects tradition.

D. Modern democracy and most forms of socialism are built upon it. It embraces a concept that governments are formed by people in order to provide for collective needs (such as education, public and private, and poverty) that cannot be properly fulfilled using purely individual resources.

Write about three symbols that you find in the story and what each symbol means. the meaning should be on the topic of knowledge vs. ignorance, the relationship of knowledge to freedom, and both the good and bad associated with gaining knowledge. use this example as a model for your "the prisoner who is set free and leaves the cave represents a person who gains knowledge, and his experiences show both the positive and negative effects of learning something new." write about what you think plato is trying to tell us about knowledge vs. ignorance and the relationship of knowledge to freedom in this story. be sure to include what he says about the cost (the pain).

3. describe a situation in which a government has a great deal of power but does not have political authority. then explain whether you think the rule of law would likely be respected under such a government.

For this unit assessment you will create a “mind map” to demonstrate your understanding of the material. what is a mind map? mind maps present information visually through the use of text and images. they have the following common elements: the central image and subject/title is located in the center of the map. use a pictogram or visual representation of the central topic along with the wording. detailed themes, ideas or concepts radiate out from the central idea. ideas clearly connect to central image and ideas consistently and accurately shift from broad scope to specific details. visuals and color clarify the information presented. words identify main ideas or concepts. be concise with the choice of words for your map. write single words or simple phrases. a mind map is clear and easy to follow. your mind map will answer the question: how have elements included in persia, decolonization and the cold war affected the development of the democratic republic of the congo and why does it matter today? your mind map will have four main branches from the central image/title. these branches include three of the persia categories, plus decolonization/cold war. choose three from the list below • politics • society • economy • intellectual - includes science, innovation, art • religion • area = geography and add decolonization/cold war requirements: at least 3 sub-branches (ideas) from each category; include as many sub-sub branches or paths as possible. the paths themselves can be designed in any manner, be creative and have fun, but remember to make your paths clear. include small illustrations – each main branch should have at least three small visuals/symbols/illustrations. prefer hand-drawn but could be a copied image use colored pencils for illustrations and if time, outline wording in fine black pen your mind map should fill the whole page. orient your paper using a landscape format. lastly - why does it matter? include a response to this part of the course essential question. it’s all about the content and showing me what you’ve learned. the more detailed information you can include, the better.
