The Transformation of Everyday Life and the Evolution of a "Creative Class"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of Richard Florida's "The Rise of the Creative Class and How It's Transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life". Examining the presumed experiences of two time travelers, one who travels from 1900 to 1950 and the other who travels from 1950 to the present, the contention is presented that neither has our technology been responsible for the shaping of our culture nor have the stronger members in our society imposed their values on the rest of the world in order to shape this culture. Instead we have changed because we sought change and the evolution of a Creative Class has been a critical element in this process. No additional sources are listed.

Utilitarianism: For The Greater Good
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Engineer Bill, who understands the essence of greater good, is faced with the most difficult decision of his life: does he rescue a single little girl who is caught upon the railroad tracks at the expense of one hundred people who are headed for certain death, or does he spare those hundred people in exchange for one little girl's life? When adopting the utilitarian perspective in relation to this quandary, the student will find that the primary motivation is what impacts the most people and reflects an outcome for the greater good; as such, Engineer Bill will save the trainload of passengers and forfeit Sarah's life.
