The terrorists have used fallen brothers and sisters of US military men as a way to cause more death rigging dead bodies with explosives and lethal ordnance killing anyone who may try to take them from where they lay. These events have changed the way war is fought by the US Military which has become the only force that is capable of policing the world which most presidents of the past have tried to avoid as much as possible. With the events in Iraq of them going into the war with presumptions that weapons of mass destruction (namely Biological weapons) were in the hands of the fallen dictator, and them subsequently finding that there was none was a true humiliation of the intelligence and information gathering methods of their many military branches and analysts.

 

The people have again turned against the war effort wanting their sons sent home from the battlefields of Iraq with the government continuing to provide suppressing information that they are continuing to make progress even as soldiers and civilians continue to die in the several places they are assigned to. The war may never end and it may even end with the troops being sent home without establishing the peace they started out to create in the first place. The morality of these events will be debated and argued about by the people back home and those who served in these campaigns for many years that would come and can be the signal for a change in the US government’s leadership making it one of the deciding grounds for the fight in spreading democracy to people who have never heard of the word nonetheless understand the implications of its concepts.

 

It may never be resolved, for they themselves hate each other enough to prevent them from living side by side. Their philosophy of self rule is sure to return them to the initial state they were in before the drive to initiate democracy started leaving the deaths of American servicemen as meaningless as hell. They might as well send their men and women home to spare their lives from the unsolvable internal conflicts that are currently continuing to shape the current status of the country.

 

Corporations have fallen and heads have rolled, there is an ever increasing decrease of ethics in the United States according to many experts. They have noted the recent problems associated with Enron, Adelphia and Barry Bonds where people placed themselves before the common good resulting in much discomfort to may investors and giving the money market a shakedown resulting in inflation. Another problem with the system is that these events go very much unnoticed becoming apparent only when whistle-blowers pull the plug and reveal the problem. The justice system has enforced strict penalties on the culprits but many answers remain unanswered such as why and how such dastardly acts were even allowed to happen in the first place.

 

Educators have placed the blame on the inability of the education system to include more education in the area of ethics making the new generation think that they can do and get away with just about anything. The liberal ideas of the founding fathers were conceptualized for a reason, freedom. The freedom of expression and just about anything else that serves to restrict that right to exercise your rights to do anything you want to. But, there is a but in the fray which is the law or the rules and regulations that define our society without which there would be no freedom. The young generation have grown too accustomed to liberty without being reminded that one has to abide by laws that govern behavior. These may become evident as more and more teens get in trouble with the law simply because they fear no one and that they believe they have the right to do anything they please.

Democracy might not be for all and that may be true for the many theaters of conflict the world over. Philosophy has played a major role in the world’s political scene where countries with the resources and are capable have exerted their ability to influence the political workings within these ailing countries in hopes of making it a better place for their citizens.

 

The developed countries who make up the world’s political governing body has proven that a democracy can work on a global scale in theory where within their walls battles of political will are exerted each and every day, well in theory that is.  Many of the members of these governing bodies have individual agenda’s in the world theater and the laws and stipulations of these laws are very much different with respect to enforcement and adoption. The conflicts that have arisen from democracy failing has led people to question if the move towards democracy was right or wrong for their place in history is still uncertain. The newer generations of people who have an idea of democracy and the right to do whatever they wish is quite baffling to those who have grown under the shadow of control exercised by many states that still adopt and use the monarchial or more modern socialist approach to government.

 

The largest country on earth with the highest population ratio, China, has been forced to adopt unorthodox laws in order to curb and control the rapid population increase such as the “One Child” policy wherein married couples can only have one child by law or face penalization or other brutal measures. The government’s of the world know that it happens and so do the citizens but what can they do within a country that has always grown to love socialist rule. The divided Korea is also subject to the “Strong Arm” of the government where poverty and being rich is quite evident. Within the party, opulence is the key and outside of it, hardship and poverty is most evident. The future may see a unified governance body that would rule the world but that may be a long shot with today’s political ideologies and differences even be remote. Humans are quite capable of change even in the hardest times when people become people and help themselves for they have no one else to turn to. Tomorrow will be another day in the political landscape and the battles of today will carry onto the battlefield of tomorrow, both in ideology and physical manifestations.

 

At this time Natural law has been divided into two main areas; the law of man and the law of Nature which is said to define what where and how things happen around us. This in turn relates to most modern views of the so-called natural Law, the definition of which is still an enigma to this day even with all the sciences and theological bodies that try to define and give meaning to it. Analyzing religion from all sides, we have a common fact in that all of the sects/groups have a single being at the top, Jesus for the Christians, Muhammad for the Muslims, Buddha for the Shinto and so on and so forth.

 

Summing all of this up, the term “Natural Law” is still a vague yet seemingly defined concept that causes us to go back to the questions our ancient forefathers asked themselves, why are we here, how does the world and nature work out as it does and what may be the future for us in this ever-changing universe which “Natural Law” controls but whose true meaning is still out of grasp. Many philosophical and scientific genius have defined it but to look back, their definitions lead to more questions rather than answers. Science as we know it is an evolving body of knowledge and Philosophy as well is such that both have a common function, which is to give us reason, a reason to find ourselves in our place in this time and space and time of thinking as we evolve into the future human race. No one authority should claim supreme authority for man is a thinking being capable of creating his own view from what is happening which makes the task ever more difficult. The true definition of Natural Law might be out of reach but we are all embodiments of the said law however incomprehensible and vague it may be.

 

 

 

 

When the Romans came, they adopted and created their own set of laws that became the standard for legal; theory and which was to become a part of the Roman Empire’s reason for success in their conquest of the known world. They formulated laws that derived from the natural laws of Aristotle’s times that stated things happened for a reason combined with their view of man’s reason in the whole equation. Government was created and the senate was formed, comprising of people from everyday lives when it started, turning into a circus and playground for the rich, famous and influential in the empire’s later years. The Romans worshiped gods and deities which were descent from the ancient set of beliefs which were from the foundations of faith created by men in Aristotle’s time as they sought for an explanation for why man was here and who was making all these events possible. The branches of sciences have been defined and they were being improved on by the many so-called experts of  the day.

 

Christianity was a growing religion which was based on doctrine that there was only one GOD who was responsible for all the events and was the embodiment of early understanding which had quite a loose division between religion and the sciences. The coming of Jesus (which is still a controversial fact that scholars are debating to this day) which is said to be the embodiment of GOD who became man along with prophets who preached the works of GOD (this is the time when many of the world’s modern religions figures were formed such as the belief in the prophet Muhammad who was said to be a descendant of Abraham) into their own right or religious groups.

 

Who was the individual that coined the said term? Well, after much searching and research, as it turns out, no one? Yes they are strewn all over on t-shirts, bumper stickers and posters plus hundreds of other stuff yet in the most basic definition, the term “Law of Nature” has no scientific basis and is mainly a creation of man. The term “Law of Nature” has been found to be a generalized terminology used to describe the whole body of laws that man has formulated through the ages into a singular definitive description hence the term, laws of nature.

 

Natural law was seemingly conceptualized by the Greeks when the decided that there was something that controlled the things that happened around them. The coming and going of the stars, the moon and stars plus the changing seasons, they looked at is as if it were following a set pattern. This pattern was the defined lay of nature. In a time when man was starting to ask the question why am I here and what purpose do I have for being here it was a plausible explanation. This is also the time when the many sciences were developed and formulated, separated from the theoretical or philosophical world by trying to define using set measures, such as the concept of time, seasons and many more which allowed these natural factors to be predicted hence making them into a foreseeable event. The factors which also say make the flowers bloom during the said months and bear fruit best when a set of conditions were set allowed cultivation of domesticated crops ending the nomadic lifestyle.
