As today is Thanksgiving, I decided to take a slightly different spin on some of my posts. The authors we have been reading about this semester -Marx, Mill, Locke, Paine, and many more- desired change. They wanted to make the world a better place with their ideals. Today, we have so much to be thankful for, and part of that is due to some of these people.
The ideals that we have read this semester have shaped the world that we enjoy today. They have enabled us to have so many of the concepts that we take for granted. The vast majority of these authors never got to see the changes that they dreamed of take place. But we live in a world that is based on the dreams of those great souls. And that, that is a great reason to be thankful.
