Abstract
This paper discusses the section entitled "The Individual," within "The Essential Drucker," written by Peter Drucker. The paper explains that "The Individual" focuses on how the individual "knowledge worker" can and should ensure effectiveness within the business world. The paper also explains that the section discusses issues such as ensuring effectiveness and an individual's personal well-being in the workplace throughout the lifespan.
From the Paper
"However, I do not believe that the best way to incorporate individuals into society is to Westernize them. In terms of the contribution ideal above, I rather feel that each individual should be valued for everything that he or she is able to bring to the job. The truly global society can only be effective if it recognizes every culture from which it is made up. An attempt at westernization would only result in the kind of conflict hypothesized by Drucker. Instead, communication enables every person on the globe to learn from each other, even if some of what is learned is decidedly strange (Smith, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the balance between individual rights and public protection within the Canadian criminal justice system. It describes the importance of equilibrium between criminal justice agencies and their ability to apprehend and prosecute offenders as a form of crime control, and the right of citizens to be protected from potential abuses of this power, known as due process. The paper examines this balance and attempts to determine whether the public or the individual is losing out in the Canadian criminal justice system.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Major Themes Intrinsic to the Balance
Legal Recognition of Individual Rights
The Dangers of Imbuing Police with Too Much Power
In Favor of Individual Liberty and Accountability?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Without a doubt, the criminal justice system is not a perfect one. Infringements of individual rights often occur at the expense of concern for public safety. Actions that compromise individual often come from the police, who act on behalf of the Criminal Code and related charters. When one points to illegal actions of the police on behalf of justice enforcement, one must also remember that police are accountable for their actions, just like every other individual in society. It appears moreover that such monitoring is on the increase: for example, "accountability of systems of correction is an emerging trend" (ibid, p. 381) and some may say that increased accountability of the police is a defining criminal justice trend (Griffiths, "Introduction to the Criminal Justice System", Unit 4). This is evidence of the fact that the justice system, although imperfect, strives to imbue the police with the right amount of control and power so that the justice of both individuals and the public are simultaneously upheld."

Individual Rights vs. Social Responsibility, 2002.

Abstract
This paper questions how much social responsibility the American individual should have. It shows that the past 250 years have provided Americans with the idea that their individual wants and desires supersede any social need. As the nation faces new troubles, such as terrorism attacks, a slumping economy and other problems, it is becoming important to blend the individual rights with a duty to recognize and act on social responsibility. The paper concludes that if Americans do not begin to spend more time on social responsibility the nation faces the possibility of having to fight for individuals rights.
From the Paper
"This is the importance of human individual rights. The right to live peacefully and to pursue happiness is given to each and every person who resides within the boundaries of America. This right is so protected that the Supreme Court is charged with the decision in each case to know if the rights of an individual have been violated or not. If a federal or state government body tries to enact a law that infringes on individual rights the Supreme Court will intervene and stop the law. This is what the nation has been built on and it is what is upheld at the cost and exclusion of all else."

Individual Rights vs. Public Order, 2004.
An examination of the conflict between an individual?s right to privacy and the public?s need for safety in the context of sex-offender notification rules.

Abstract
This paper examines how the United States is a country that prides itself on the level of freedom afforded to its citizens and how freedom and the rights of the individual are two concepts that helped shape the very backbone of the country. It also discusses how the concept of public order provides a framework by which most citizens can operate. In particular, it looks at what happens when there is a clash between individual rights and public order in the context of sex-offender notification rules. It concludes that the safety of the community should and must take precedence over the sex offender?s individual right to privacy.
From the Paper
"Many cities have sex-offender notification laws on the books. These laws mandate that a convicted sex offender must notify the local police in the community in which he (most sex offenders are male; in fact the Department of Justice [1996] has determined that all but 3 percent of offenders who commit violent crimes against children are male) decides to live upon being released from prison. He is required to provide to the police information such as his place of residence, his place of employment, if he moves and where he is moving to, and other basic information. The police then make this information available to the community in some form, whether it be through a Web site, mailings, announcements in the newspapers, announcements at neighborhood meetings, and so on."

Abstract
This paper explores the nature and the relationship of the individual within society in the classic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula Le Guin. Through investigating the position of the individual and society, it can be seen that the simplest solutions to problems are not even considered due to the lack of value that the sum of society places upon individuals and that rebellion against the status quo helps to demonstrate why society creates a scenario in which the individuals feel trapped and where rebellion is their best option.

Individual Rights and the Constitutional Convention, 2005.
A look at the origins of the philosophy of individual rights.

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of individual rights and how this concept extends far back into early English history. The paper points out that, while the individual rights granted under the American Constitution have evolved and changed to include more than the original beliefs about individual rights, the authors of the Constitution were heavily influenced by early English and French philosophers and their ideas about rights and liberties.
From the Paper
"Although many individuals today might like to romanticize the origin of individual rights in America, suggesting that such rights began and ended with the passage of the current version of the United States Constitution that now governs the totality of the American land, the actual history of a private citizen?s individual rights in America and England is far more checkered and complex. America?s founding fathers owe a far greater debt to English and French philosophies of rights and liberties than were acknowledged at the time for the idea that the individual citizen possesses certain inalienable rights that cannot be impinged upon by the state. Also, the Articles of Confederation that were eventually passed contained the seeds of the later document that was to govern the land, even though it was too weak a document to provide the type of unity that the international politics of the time demanded to accord respect to the new American union and nation."

Abstract
An examination of individual liberty in John Stuart Mill's controversial essay, "On Liberty". In investigating this topic, the author looks at Mill's argument, the context of individual liberty in human history, the retention of elements in John Stuart Mill's philosophy and their practicability and democratic tyranny against individual liberty.
From the Paper
"One of the prime spokesperson of liberalism in the 19th century, John Stuart Mill was a supporter of Utilitarianism in moral principles. He was specifically of the view that every individual in a society should perform his role in such a manner that he progresses maximum happiness for the majority of the people. Despite his belief in collective welfare, Stuart Mill was a strong advocate of individual liberty and rights. However, the simultaneous elements of individual liberty as well as the social well being in Stuart Mill?s philosophy are considered controversial by most. Apart from this, he also promoted rights and liberty for women.
On Liberty was the most controversial essay of John Stuart Mill?s works, stimulating much vehement manifestation of consent and censure. The composition was incited by the conversation between Mill and Harriet Taylor, his wife, in their letters on the subject that they lived in a society that was moving towards dearth of intrepid and gallant individuals."

China: The Individual vs. Society, 2008.
This paper discusses the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976 in relation to Chinese society that always favoured the state or the society over the individual.

Abstract
The paper illustrates how the Cultural Revolution showed continuity with the Chinese past, in that individuals were certainly expendable to the state in achieving group aims. The paper explains how Communist Chinese society would liquidate an educated, low middle class that posed no direct threat to the state or the position of Mao, but were convenient scapegoats for what Mao set out to achieve. Thus, the paper highlights how the individual did not matter at all; only the overall group objective.
Outline:
Introduction
The Unity of the People
Removing the Individual
Having the Answers
Mao as 'God'
Glorifying the Worker
The Cultural Revolution Generation
The Legacy of the Cultural Revolution
Concluding Discussion
From the Paper
"Chinese civilization has had repeated trouble in accommodating groups that are separate or somehow challenge centralized authority whose most recent form has been the government of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). When Emily Honig described the Subei before and after the 1949 Revolution she referred to a very visible instance of Chinese inequality. (1992) Honig wrote that "the dominance of Subei people in unskilled, low-paying jobs may obscure the equally important aspect of the work experience of Subei people in Shanghai - many never entered the formal labour market at all, or worked outside it."

Abstract
In this paper, two fundamental and different views of the individual and his or her society are discussed in the light of what is now known as a concept of agency that seems of terrific importance to sociological theory. The emphasis that is placed upon the individual and his or her choices within one social system or another, automatically produces attention to how much choice of action or expression - of agency - that can be realized.

From the Paper
"Many films have examined the relationship between the individual, society and the coming communication universe. The most important of these films have been 'Wagging the Dog', 'Simone' and 'The Matrix'. Each of these films demonstrates how communication technologies can be used to shape reality. 'Wagging the Dog' demonstrated how the news media can shape the political realm, 'Simone' showed how a computer generated person could fool everyone into believing that she was a real person and 'The Matrix' suggested that an individual's entire reality could be generated by computers, virtual reality and multimedia technologies."

Individual Vs. Collective Rights, 2008.
This paper discusses the rights of the individual in light of the rights of the collective community.
851 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 3 sources, APA, AU$ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper argues that the rights of the individual are most likely to deteriorate in societies that are plagued by excessively high birthrates and by high population density. The paper explains the utilitarian reasoning behind this principle as well as the simple fact that something of which there is a lot is going to be of lesser per capita value than something of which there is very little. The paper shows how over-population logically brings about a diminution in individual rights.
From the Paper
"It is sometimes asserted that the rights of the "common" - the community or the collective - will eventually impinge upon the right of the individual as the population in already-overcrowded nations and globally continues to spiral upward. This sort of statement can be interpreted in many ways and undoubtedly will be interpreted in many ways by people coming from different socio-economic and socio-political backgrounds. Be that as it may, this writer chooses to interpret the initial sentence in this paragraph as follows: as populations grow more massive, the competition for finite resources among individuals becomes more intense."

Abstract
This paper discusses the various philosophical approaches to individual rights and the role of the state as a guarantor of those rights. Particularly the paper utilizes the perspectives of John Stuart Mill and James Madison to provide greater insight into the character of individual freedoms related to liberty and happiness as well as political constructs intended to protect them.
From the Paper
"John Stuart Mill and James Madison a. Mill's approach to liberty and its constraints, either real or artificial, in "On Liberty" informs the reader that he is only in the formative stages of his examination on the ultimate character of liberty as a social and moral construct vis-?vis the individual. In other words, while many readers and philosophical inquisitors have concluded that much of Mill's construct in "On Liberty" remain beyond the ken of the average individual and thus insoluble to a degree, Mill does offer the reviewer some definitive insight into what he is hoping to accomplish through the production of this text: ...the practical question, where to place the limit -- how to make the fitting adjustment between individual independence and social control -- is a subject on which nearly everything remains to be done..."

Abstract
This paper presents a memo from Lutece Academy, which has been considering a change in the nature of the relations between staff and administration by instituting individual workplace agreements between each member of the staff and the administration and, thus, the board as well. This memorandum argues against such a shift to individual workplace agreements.
From the Paper
"The members of the board of Lutece Academy, a secondary school that serves approximately 700 hundred students and has a tradition of excellence in education, has been considering the merits of making a fundamental change in the nature of the relationship that exists between the school and its staff. That current relationship (with the exception of the administration) consists of traditional collective bargaining rights that are negotiated with the heads of each union?s representatives at the school. This is the norm for schools in the region and indeed in the country, which has a highly unionized school work force."

The Balance between Individual and Community, 2001.
A paper which shows how the balance between the rights and desires of individuals have fluctuated with that of the community throughout western civilization.

Abstract
This paper examines both sides of the balance between the individual and the community by analyzing the sources "Funeral Oration" by the great Athenian Orator Pericles, written in 431 B.C. and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola?s, "Oration on the Dignity of Man" from the fifteenth century. The paper shows that in Athens the rights of the individual were limited and the community took precedence. It shows how on the opposite side of the spectrum is the Italian belief of the independent individual and boundless man. The paper also applies these theories to the present equilibrium between community and individual in America today.
From the Paper
"Has there ever been a stable balance between the rights and desires of the individual and of the community that have occurred and lasted in history? The essential need of civilization is an equilibrium between the individual and the community. If the rights and desires of an individual are emphasized more than the community a breakdown of society is inevitable. This imbalance places a stress on one idea and the other is abandoned. A basis that is not broad and equal in all importance will fail. An ideal balance is impossible to achieve; however, societies have tried to find a balance that would be most fitting for them and their time and that parallels the ideals they stand for. Their endeavors have been very different. This difference can be detected by analysis of historical documents that were written by people living in their respected time frame."

Irish and American Individual Rights, 2005.
Examines some of the protections of individual liberties in Ireland and the United States.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts selections on individual rights relating to the family, private property, and religion from the Irish Constitution and considers the question of whether the Constitution of Ireland or that of the United States does a better job in protecting the rights of individuals.
From the Paper
"Article 41 of the Irish Constitution considers issues relating to the family. This, in and of itself, is remarkable as there is no comparable clause in the U.S. Constitution. Ireland goes so far as to recognize "the Family as the natural, primary and fundamental unit group of society . . . possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law." Furthermore, the Irish Constitution extends special protections to women, in particular, women who are with child to insure that they are properly cared for. Although the U.S. Constitution certainly grants some protection to women, it is rather vague and subject to great interpretation. The wording of the Irish Constitution leaves little room for doubt as to the rights of women."
