So how can we find out if they have given a false confession is the real question. In Villar’s study he conducted about remorse in oral and handwritten false confessions gives us a hint on what is a true confession to what is a false confession. The Study states, “Although it is impossible to determine the true rate of false confessions, it is estimated that as many as 12% of individuals interrogated by police in the United States might have provided a false confession (Gudjonsson, Sigurdsson, Asgeirsdottir, & Sigfusdottir, 2007)” (Villar 255). Just the estimation of 12% would mean that a good amount of confessions would be false.

I panicked and started thinking of how I could get him out” says Jon, Kits ankle appeared to be caught under the rock and it was scary for him to think that there was a chance that a train could be coming. “I was scared but I knew my dad was smart and would help me get out before a train came” Kit says with confidence. Jon tried to pull Kit out from under the rock but Kit had been trapped in an awkward spot in which he could not escape. “I was starting to get worried that there was no time left” Jon says, as he could hear a train in the distance and started to panic. “As soon as I heard the tracks rumbling with the sound of a train I knew I had to do something fast. There was no time to run for help so my only option was to run to the train and make them stop before they reached Kit” Jon quotes. Jon ran down the tracks until he came to a fork in the road. Jon had to make a decision in which way to go to stop the train. He knew the train was coming from one of tracks and finally stopped the train in time. He could see the train coming and the distance and started jumping up and down, flailing his arms like a bird and fortunately the train saw him and stopped

The 1992 winner of the best movie of the year, Unforgiven, is viewed by many to clash with the society of 1992 involving certain aspects of feminism and racism just to name two. This movie won four academy awards including best picture, best supporting actor, best director, and best editing but it was actually nominated for nine which is pretty phenomenal considering the amount of money it cost to make the film. In this movie, morality is in question throughout the whole film, as well as the power money actually has on people. The plot of Unforgiven focuses on the character William Munny (Clint Eastwood), who gave up his life as a thief, murderer, and villain for the love of a woman and to raise the family they were soon to have. Unlike

An ethical dilemma is an incident that causes us to question how we should react based on our beliefs. A decision needs to be made between right and wrong. I have experienced many ethical dilemmas in my lifetime, so I know that there is no such thing as an ethical dilemma that only affects one person. I also know that some ethical dilemmas are easier to resolve than others are. The easy ones are the ones in which we can make decisions on the spot. For example, if a cashier gives me too much change, I can immediately make a decision to either return the money or keep it. Based on Kant’s, categorical imperative there are two criteria for determining moral right and wrong. First, there is universalizability, which states, “the person’s

What are the relevant facts of the case? What facts are not known? Can I learn more about the situation? Do I know enough to make a decision?

In today's business and personal world, ethical decisions are made on a daily basis. Most of these decisions are based on company ground rules. The others are based on personal ground rules. All decisions can have a number of ground rules that help us determine whether our decision is ethical or unethical. Each decision whether it is based on company or personal ground rules will have its own set of implications. In the following paragraphs I will discuss the impacts of ethics on decision-making, discuss the elements of an ethically defensible decision, define what the ground rules are; what they could be and what they should be, discuss

Making choices can affect any and everything in your life whether it’s dealing with your family or just everyday situations. Everyone in life is faced with good and bad choices that can either have a good outcome on your life or it can make a turn for the worst. Yes, everyone wants to make good choices in life. But does that always happen? Nine times out of ten know. Recently, I made a bad choice that affected my life in numerous ways for instance when I got caught shoplifting my parents looked down on me as if I was this thief. I’m very embarrassed of my actions but there’s nothing I can do to erase it I can only make this a learning experience and make better choices next time around. As teenagers

Everyday we are tested as individuals to make the right choice. How we view ourselves as individuals and how others view us are directly correlated to our moral decision-making. But morals are somewhat misleading. What might be a wrong decision for one person might be a solution to another. So how do we define morals? Do we follow Gods’ moral rules because to do so would increase out likelihood of obtaining salvation in the afterlife? Or is it simpler than that. Is God going to deny our entrance into heaven because we have run a stop sign here and there? No. I believe our moral values are much simpler than that. I believe that our moral decision-making comes from our upbringing of what is right or wrong. Our parents and

“What’s with all the hugging? You guys are super weird,” Trenton said from the front seat. He was giving us his judgemental eyes but we just ignored him.
