changed how we are supposed to live. Everything around us is a burden.
Rousseau then discusses what the original way of living is. He would say that there is an inequality in how we live, because we are born free and that is taken away from us. The chains that led from the inequality are subjugation, dominance, and oppression. These chains are artificial, because we are born free. Humans acquired the chains, Rousseau would argue. He will go on to say that because humans began to rationalize these chains were caused. Thinking rationally creates generalities , and along with the generalities comes labeling people. We beg .....

Detroit Lions
Words: 355 - Pages: 2.... the team players had realized “finally” that they cant let just one man do the job, that it’s a team sport, and they are putting themselves to the 110%. Their defense is totally better when before that was what hurt them most, because while Barry got the team lots of yardage and scored touchdowns, the other team got them back plus twice the damage they made.

Meditations because he is forced to explain where the mathematical ideas that he
believed we were born with came from. Having discussed Descartes' backgr .....
