美国政治制度与外交政策作为世界上最强大的超级大国,美国的政治制度和外交政策备受关注。
美国政治制度的核心是由三个分立的政府机构组成的制衡制度,而美国外交政策的核心则是以维护美国国家利益为宗旨的现实主义。
本文将从美国政治制度和外交政策两个方面进行探究。
美国政治制度美国政治制度是一种由三个分立的政府机构组成的制衡制度,分别是行政机构、立法机构和司法机构。
这三个机构都有着不同的职能,相互制衡,实现权力的分立和限制。
行政机构主要由总统和内阁构成,负责实施国家政策和管理国家事务。
立法机构则是由议会组成,包括参议院和众议院。
议会主要负责制定和修改法律,行使预算和税收审批等职能。
司法机构则由联邦最高法院和其他联邦法院组成,主要负责处理联邦法律案件。
美国政治制度的分离和制衡是为了防止权力过度集中,保证政府的平衡和稳定,并且保障公民的自由和权利。
但是,这种政治制度也导致了政府的决策速度较慢,难以做出迅速的反应。
美国外交政策美国外交政策是以维护国家利益为宗旨的现实主义政策。
这种政策强调在国际关系中制定决策时必须站在国家利益和力量平衡的角度出发,不断扩大和保护国家利益。
美国外交政策在不同的历史时期都有着不同的重心和优先级。
在20世纪20年代和30年代,美国外交重点是执行孤立主义政策,避免参与欧洲战争。
而在20世纪40年代和50年代,美国的外交政策重点转移到了遏制共产主义和推广民主的冷战时期。
在90年代,美国的外交重心又从冷战转向了推动全球自由贸易。
当前,美国的外交政策主要围绕维护国家安全、促进全球经济稳定和推广民主展开。
美国在多个国际组织中发挥着重要作用,如联合国、北约等。
同时,美国也通过自身军事实力和外援政策来实现自己的外交目标。
总结作为世界上最强大的超级大国,美国的政治制度和外交政策对全球都有着深远的影响。
美国政治制度的制衡和分权体现了民主制度的优越性,但也存在着决策效率低下的问题。
而美国外交政策一直坚持以维护国家利益为出发点,各个时期面临的挑战和重心也不断变化。

Animals deserve to be treated humanelyThe animal rights movement is the logical successor to the other major social justice movements of the second half of the 20th century: the civil rights movement, the women‟s rights movement and the gay rights movement.What makes us think that we own animals? How do we claim to be most intellectual and intelligent animal? Don't we have any kind of duties to the fellow beings? If you wouldn't eat cow or a dog then why eat a goat? Why shouldn't animals have right? If they didn't harm us then why should we act selfish? These are the most common question that would be asked by an animal activist. Most of us grew up eating meat or raising pets as a hobby. We wear woolen or silk clothes and even leather. We even go to zoos or circuses for entertainment. We consider that animals are the things to be owned or used directly or indirectly. Infact the grammer advices us to use, "it," pronoun to indicate animals. We feed upon them and use their heads or any parts as a decorating asset to our sweet home. Don't we realize the affect or pain that the individuals have gone through our actions? Our short moment pleasure destroys the life of an animal or even more.Before further discussion about the issue, the definition of animal rights should be made in advance: Animal rights are rights, primarily against being killed and being treated cruelly, that are thought to be possessed by higher non-human animals and many lower ones by virtue of their sentience. Even advocators of animal rights all agree on this definition, they can still be classified into two groups according to their philosophical approaches towards the issue: the consequentialists and the deontologists, the former one exemplified by Peter Singer and the latter one by Tom Reagan.Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), the founder of the reforming utilitarian school of moral philosophy, stated that when deciding on a being's rights,“The question is not, …Can they reason?' nor, …Can they talk?' but, …Can they suffer?'” In that pass age, Bentham points to the capacity for suffering as the vital characteristic that gives a being the right to equal consideration. The capacity for suffering is not just another characteristic like the capacity for language or higher mathematics. All animals have the ability to suffer in the same way and to the same degree that humans do. They feel pain, pleasure, fear, frustration, loneliness, and motherly love. Whenever we consider doing something that would interfere with their needs, we are morally obligated to take them into account. Do animals have rights? The answer is obviously, yes.The consequentialist, especially Peter Singer, following utilitarianism, argues for statements which can be drawn as conclusions as that interests are predicted on the ability to suffer, and nothing more, and once it is established that a being has interests, those interests must be given equal consideration based not on a description but on a prescription. In my opinion, this utilitarian approach is flawed in aspects as follows.In essence, the doctrine of act utilitarianism is questionable, making the entire argument suspicious. According to utilitarianism, the well-being of a group, instead of well-being of individuals are concerned. As Julian H Franklin, Professor Emeritus of Government at Columbia University, mentioned, following this doctrine, infanticide would become justified as long as better infant “would replace the …inferior‟ one”. Moreover, based on doctrine of utilitarianism, as long as an act would not lead to adverse result, it is justified. Following the doctrine, killing would not be evil as long as it is painless, and experiment on animals would be humane as long as narcotic analgesics are used.Furthermore, interest, the key concept in Singer‟s argument, is obscure and unconvincing in its definition. According to him, “Interests are predicted on the ability to suffer”. Since plants can suffer, in manifestations different from those of us and animals, shall we give them an “equal consideration”? If we should bestow the consideration on them, then “Animal Rights” should be replaced by “Beings Rights”.In contrary to the consequentialist, the deontologist, represented by Tom Reagan, believes that whatever the consequence is, animals have inherent rights. They argue that “because the moral tights of humans are based on their possession of certain cognitive abilities and because these abilities are also possessed by at least some non-human animals, such as animals must have the moral rights as humans.”Even assuming that Reagan‟s selection range is appropriate, suspicions can still be raised from whether cognitive abilities are possessed by non-human animals. Even though numerous experiments have been conducted on this issue; no result has confirmed that non-human animals have exact cognitive abilities as human beings do. If animals do not have such abilities, they can never become “subjects-of-a-life”.Moreover, even if all of Reagan‟s statements are proved to be correct, it will raise discrimination among a nimals. Following Reagan‟s theory, only a fraction of the animal community can gain rights. Human race will seem to be partial to certain species that are like ourselves and discriminate against other species. This will be an ironic result when the intentioned result is to diminish discrimination.Even if it is granted that two approaches mentioned above can be justified philosophically, the concept “animal rights” itself remains suspectable.One reason that is commonly quoted is that rights can solely be applied to human beings. Since rights and obligations are always correlated, anyone who enjoy rights but cannot fulfill corresponding obligations cannot become real rights bearer. It makes no sense that animals should become the privileged.Even we award an imals with such a privilege, we should still distinguish between one‟s owninterest and what is right, according to Carl Cohen, professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan and the University of Michigan Medical School. In fact, most Animal protectors tend to behave and argue following their empathy. Thus, it is not the animal rights itself but human being‟s desire to express their empathy that gives rise to the debate of animal rights.In conclusion, the two dominant philosophical approaches towards animal rights are unconvincing, so is the term “animal right” itself. Hence, the current concept of animal rights is invalid. Further studies and modifications should be made to it in order to make sure that it can be used as a solid weapon in animal protection.Reference:1.
