Kant: “Moral Duty” Kant describes the moral dilemma of telling a lie. Kant applies that the meaning behind the false claim is what determines its morality or whether it shall be accepted. The morality of the act relies upon whether it is “clever” and self-benefitting act or whether it is a matter of duty to make the false promise. (Kant, p. 431) He claims that one commits the act of lying in order to free themselves from a their current situations of disadvantageousness; however, it is important
Trouble with Africa: Why Foreign Aid Isn’t Working. Africa Today 56(2): 97-101 Aidoo expands on Jon Glennie’s scope of the discussion regarding aid implementation in Africa. He takes into account other prevalent work and analyzes the debate as a whole. The issue, on which people readily take sides, he contends is often too simplistically portrayed, often leading to poor solutions, typically in the form of more aid. Aidoo’s critique of Glennie, who embraces aid reduction policies, calls Glennie’s stance
side of the line in the sand. It doesn't matter from whose perspective you view it from, “they” are all that is evil in the world, and “we” are the freedom-fighters, the few who fight against those who oppose us. Those hedonistic westerners with no morality. Those turban-wearing suicide bombers. Both are firmly convinced that “they” are the enemy, and “we” are fighting for what is right. But when right is a moving target, hiding behind various forces that obscure it for a multitude of reasons, how
discussions, presentations, break out groups, and debates. My research interests revolve predominately around making sense of the rapid rise of social protection in the Global South through a specific focus on those who have been enveloped by these new policies in Kenya. While anthropologists have been drawn to understanding the proliferation of new forms of debt there still remains little engagement with social protection which does not create financial indebtedness. This despite the fact that two of the
existence of morals, why they are important, and to whom or for whom our moral responsibility lends itself. The curriculum is a comprehensive examination of these questions and successfully projects ideas about human morality that, depending on which text, either affirmed or questioned our morality. In addition, we have addressed moral disengagement, a plague that seems to inject every one of us with the ability to ignore or reject situations which call for moral action. While the curriculum does an appropriate
mechanism, arbitration is not bound by conventional legal precedents and is therefore prone to inconsistent decisions. The existence of a mechanism to challenge a foreign arbitral award or in other words, review an arbitral award is essential to the system of arbitration. It is due to these reasons that a party has the option to challenge a foreign arbitral award. In most cases, the courts where an award can be challenged would be the courts of the seat of arbitration. However, it is also possible that
the arena of international relations and foreign policy is evidently interest-led, some have sort to see an increase in a global agenda that places value on human rights and ethical considerations. Nigel Dower, bringing a philosophical background into his perspective on international relations, soundly falls within the debate that pushes for a place for human rights in international relations. Similar to his research area in world ethics, Dower’s article aims to present his support for an ethically

I now turn to my research interests and plans which revolve predominately around making sense of the rapid rise of social protection in the Global South through a specific focus on those who have been enveloped by these new policies in Kenya. While anthropologists have been drawn to understanding the proliferation of new forms of debt there remains little engagement with forms of social protection which do not create financial indebtedness.

“Terrorism involves the use of violence by an organization other than a national government to cause intimidation or fear among a target audience;” at least, this is how Pape (2003) defines terrorism in his article “The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism” (343). The goal of this article by Pape is to discuss suicide terrorism and how it “follows a strategic logic, one specifically designed to coerce modern liberal democracies to make significant territorial concessions” (343). Similar to Pape,
understand force. Nuclear threats remain in the post-cold war world, and despite any moral quandary, the only action available to the United States is to maintain its nuclear arsenal and continue to rely on its policy of nuclear deterrence. Nuclear deterrence is the only way to protect America from foreign threat. North Korea, a crumbling nation kept in constant poverty and famine by the ineptness of its leadership, a nation that retains its status via constant threats of nuclear attack. Iran, a land of zealots
