A Corrupted System

Greece's political system has been plagued with problems for decades, with corruption, nepotism, and inefficiency being some of the major issues. The country has struggled to establish a stable and effective government that can address the needs of its citizens and promote sustainable economic growth. This essay will discuss some of the key problems that have contributed to Greece's problematic political system. One of the main issues in Greece's political system is corruption. According to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, Greece is consistently ranked among the most corrupt countries in the European Union. Corruption is widespread in all sectors of society, from business to government, and it has a negative impact on economic growth and social development. Bribery, favoritism, and kickbacks are common practices in many areas of Greek society, and they contribute to a sense of distrust and disillusionment among citizens. Another problem in Gree...

An Introduction to the Political Theory Of Thomas Hobbes

Thomas Hobbes was a prominent English philosopher of the 17th century, widely regarded as one of the founders of modern political philosophy. His most famous work, "Leviathan," presents a comprehensive theory of the nature of the state, the origin of political authority, and the role of the individual in society. Hobbes's political theory is rooted in his broader philosophical view of human nature, which he famously described as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." In Hobbes's view, humans are fundamentally self-interested and competitive, driven by a desire for power and survival. Without the presence of a strong and centralized authority to maintain order and prevent conflict, life would be a chaotic and violent "war of all against all." To escape this state of nature, Hobbes argued, individuals must voluntarily submit to a sovereign authority that can enforce laws and regulations and maintain social order. In "Leviathan," Hobbe...

Καλημέρα Ελλάδα: Όπου Άνεμος Εκλογών και Τραγωδίες

Τέμπη, 1 Μαρτίου 2023 Μάτι, 23 Ιουλίου 2018  Δεν μπορεί κανείς να περιγράψει την θλίψη και την βαθιά οδύνη των ανθρωπίνων απωλειών και για όλους εκείνους που επιβιώσαν, αλλά και που θα πρέπει να μάθουν να ζουν μην την ανάμνηση της απώλειας και του θανάτου. Τα Τέμπη έγραψαν για ακόμη φορά μια αιματοβαμμένη ιστορία.  Σε αυτό το άρθρο δεν θα δοθεί καμία έμφαση σε κομματικά μορφώματα και τις ευθύνες που φέρουν ξεχωριστά. Η τραγωδία στα Τέμπη δεν φέρει συγκεκριμένο «χρώμα» ευθύνης, παρά μόνο υπενθυμίζει την βαθιά και ελλειμματική πολιτική σύσταση αυτού του τόπου συνολικά, που για ακόμα μια φορά οδηγεί σε απώλειες. Η τραγωδία είτε βασίζεται σε έναν απαίδευτο, ανειδίκευτο, αδιάφορο, επιπόλαιο, μη σκεπτόμενο ανθρώπινο παράγοντα, είτε σε μια «κακή στιγμή», τονίζει την απουσία του κρατικού μηχανισμού να μεριμνήσει για την προστασία των πολιτών του. Ανάλογη απουσία ήταν και στην περίπτωση της πυρκαγιάς στο Μάτι, όπου για ακόμη μια φορά εξαιτίας ενός ανθρώπινου παράγοντα η χώρα θρήνησε 10...
