Life, Liberty & The Pursuit Of Happiness / Still Far Off
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The concept was clear, and the idea was even carried out for a time, but the overall effectiveness of Thomas Jefferson's revolutionary vision of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is far from being realized in America. Jefferson's vision was originally created to provide for the protection of a person's natural rights, his ability to make his own way and to obtain contentment without the infringement of government or any other oppressive source. The writer discusses how this may have been realized to some extent but, for the most part, continues to evade the majority. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Need for Affiliation - The desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm relations with others. 3.
