Natural Law: Morality and Obedience This short opus is part of a collection of a larger body of work, which are dedicated to the subject of law or legal obligation. This installment focuses on natural law. The goal here is to elucidate the essentiality of citizen obedience. Another goal here is to make the case that, while in theory the notion of natural law seems to contradict the concept known as positive law, when it comes to legal obligation (in practice of course), any distinction, if it were to exist at all, is negligible. This text examines the degree to which natural law (as presently understood) could explicate the reason people may feel obligated to obey laws. The book further explores the rationale for legal obedience in terms of morality and reason. It examines popular legal precepts, notably positive law and other doctrines related to natural law. The arguments echoed throughout the text are unique. But it is important to point out that a full appreciation of the notion of Natural Law may require some anterior understanding about the concept of Legal Theory. I encourage you to keep a positive outlook as you navigate the manuscript.

The author shares his experiences as an immigrant, bringing a unique perspective on this universal phenomenon. Through personal stories, he explores the multiple facets of these sets, whether professional, personal or social.

The book addresses the subtleties of the pla...
Racism: What Is It? Racism is a very complex psycho-social issue. But the literature is ambivalent about the nature of this phenomenon. Views often diverge about the characteristics of racism. There is no consensus about the reason a person may engage in similar conducts. For the most part, we are clueless about the reason racism pervades in society. The arguments featured here examine “Why” racism is a major problem. The text dissects what it is about racism, which makes it such a major issue in modern times. Since racism is a controversial topic, I urge you to be very receptive as you engage this book.

Relying on personal insights, Dr. Ben wood Johnson offers educators, students, and school administrators alike a glimpse into the reality of adult learning. Adult learners face panoply of situations, which often have detrimental effects on their psyche. The American educational system was not designed for adults. Older learners often face insurmountable obstacles in their quest for an education. For the most part, adult learners are left to fend for themselves. Many of them have no other alternatives but to abandon their educational goals. Adult Education in America—a policy assessment of adult learning—offers the reader a genuine lens to explore the issues. The text focuses on problems related to logistics, pedagogy, employment, relationships among students, school staff (e.g., administrators and faculty), and other personal situation. The book explores common issues in higher education, which many people, including school administrators, are aware of, but seldom tackle with concrete solutions.

A Legacy Under AttackThe Sartrean legacy in moral philosophy is under attack. While Jean-Paul Sartre is regarded as a well-accomplished philosopher in other fields, his views about ethics are often rebuked vociferously. This book seeks to interject a different perspective in the debate.Here, I endeavor, passionately of course, to dissect the congruity of Sartre's writings on ethics. I decipher the man, his views, his passions, and his contributions to human literature. I explore his glorious past in the most succinct manner.I outline a simpler framework in order to understand the role Sartre played in linking ontology with morality. I argue that it is necessary to draw a much-needed attention to a side of Sartre (e.g., his views about ethics) that is rarely recounted in positive terms.I argue that it is quintessential to emphasize the intellectual relevance of this great thinker in the ethical discipline.
