Entrepreneurs are an essential part of stimulating the economy while creating new businesses as a key driver in any economy. With entrepreneurship comes struggle and a host of barriers that interfere with achieving a successful career path. Two prominent female entrepreneurs encountered similar struggles throughout their careers that dealt with family issues, public and media criticism as well as negative encounters with the law. With a variety of business approaches and personalities, Martha Stewart, a highly successful businesswoman, turned everyday household activities into a multi-million dollar empire and Martha Billes, also a richly successful businesswoman, fought hard to take ownership of Canadian Tire at the age of 61. Both entrepreneurs faced the adversities of being women growing up in the 1940’s, where society held negative views against them because they were expected to be domestic stay at home mothers and wives rather than businesswomen, and also based on the many similar flaws in their career paths such as their numerous times in court, ugly divorces and being targeted for their stern personalities. However their passion, stern attitudes, and alternate mindsets inspired and drove them to do whatever it took to succeed, regardless of what critics said. It was because of their lack of family support, public disapproval, and experiences with the court of law that developed their similar stern and ambitious personalities that allowed them to become great

Morality is a complicated matter, one which requires rationality, but is often driven by emotions. A person’s behavior is almost completely driven by emotions and often times emotions are what tell us when something might be wrong or right. Motivation also comes from emotions, so without feelings of anger, depression, frustration and the like we would hardly ever do anything in order to change things in our lives (Shafer-Landau, 2015, p. 258). Virtue ethics then is concerned with what makes a person virtuous versus vicious when it comes to making moral decisions, with emotions playing an important role. In this paper, I support Aristotle’s emphasis on emotions as a key to being virtuous, especially since emotions tell us what is important and motivate us to act (Shafer-Landau, 2015, p. 257-258).

Hold Fast to Dreams is a book written by Joshua Steckel and Beth Zasloff. It is a phenomenal book that interprets on the misgivings of colleges in the United States. The book highlights the challenges that individuals from the low strata of the society face while applying for College Admissions. Apparently, it is a common phenomenon for students from challenged backgrounds to be denied places in the high-end Universities. Ironically, it turns out that most students from such backgrounds tend to be more intelligent regardless of their lifestyles. It is a despicable scenario for an individual with the required grades to miss an opportunity just because he or she comes from a low-income family. This signals how rotten and gruesome the society has become to the extent of denying an individual a position earned through Meri and hard-work. The book was so moving and sentimental in explaining the challenges people go through in their quest for Education. Steckel’s teachings and experiences, directly, become fundamental to every School Counselor(s) for analyzing and synchronizing Psychological cases.

Webster’s Dictionary defines ethics as “a set of moral principles: a theory or system of moral values.” (Merriam-Webster, Incorporated, 2011). Every person has ethics that he or she lives by, but sometimes in the business world many unethical business transactions occur. People do not realize that sometimes the statistics that he or she are fed have been falsified in order to get him or her to purchase a product or lure him or her in to participate in via false promises.

Using a current example of an ethical issue, the definition of what an ethical issue is will be reflected upon as well as how the example case reinforces Plato’s’ quote.

Ethics is defined as a system of moral principles or the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group. Ethics and values are sometimes used interchangeably, but the main goal is to make sure that one is using a moral compass to help guide in the decision making process. One individual who figures prominently when it comes to ethics is the veritable Martha Stewart. Ms. Stewart had to step down from her own company because of

One can read all the codes or professional conducts they want, but if they do not mean anything to them, then they will never actually follow them. He used cheating as an example. In a survey, seven out of ten college students admit to cheating. As a reference, he said picture seven out of ten people running the red light. This would break society. I feel like that was a great way to look at that and really shows the importance of taking ethics seriously in your

Stereotypes, particularly negative, are imposed by people onto an individual or a group of people based upon nationality, race, sexuality, and among others. Stereotypes create a picture of what a person is perceived to be based on their upbringing, their personality, or past situations that have occurred. This standard image that people create of a person or group creates a misconception that seems to follow individuals. In Light from a Distant Star by Mary McGarry Morris each character is put under a conventional, stereotypical image from their peers in Springvale. However, the stereotyping of a person is particularly reinforced for characters Nellie Peck and Max Devaney. Nellie Peck and Max Devaney challenges the stereotypes of being a

Perhaps the most well-known innovators of the direct cinema genre of documentary film are the Maysles brothers, Albert and David Maysles. Together they created what became one of the most revolutionary contributions to direct cinema, Grey Gardens. This documentary film features the daily lives of a mother and her middle aged daughter, both named Edith Beale, who live in squalor despite their numerous recounts of their luxurious past. Through this film, the Maysles brothers went against the aesthetic of film which centered its efforts on telling the viewer how to feel through the creation of ideal lighting and straightforward dialogue. Rather than planning ahead of time, they filmed long shots of undirected footage and recorded the

When people hear the term “ethics,” most of their minds turn to dilemmas discussed by figures such as Immanuel Kant, Jeremy Bentham, Aristotle, and other famous philosophers. These men debated what is considered to be morally good and how a person can become ethical. Operating under normative ethics, these philosophers did not question whether or not ethics even existed, but rather if they exist, what are they? The branch of ethics that questions the foundation of ethics and morality is metaethics. There are three standpoints when debating metaethics: moral realism, moral relativism, and moral skepticism. I will be discussing my argument for moral realism and contend that moral relativism and skepticism are inaccurate. I will prove the

A person that behaves in a way that is not genuine is a actor. Each actor portrays their character in a way that is so believable that they make the audience feel that is how they act after the curtain closes. RENT’s actors had to pull out inner insecurities to portray the characters, and succeed at being very convincing. Characters Angel Schunard and Tom Collins had to probably be the toughest characters to portray, but they both created a relationship on stage that was very convincing and heartfelt. The actors of Angel Schunard and Tom Collins were Nick Brown and Clyde Moser, their characters were in a relationship and they both had AIDs. Angel Schunard was drag that had a bubbly personality no matter what he/she was going through. Nick Brown

The behavior it includes is positive attitude. That means not getting mad when asked to do something or getting mad when you don’t get what you want or when something doesn’t go your way.

The topic of Meta-Ethics pertaining to whether moral values are objective or subjective, and whether or not as a society we should be able to intervene on another society if we do not believe what they are doing is morally ethical, is quite a large topic. How can we come up with a solid answer as to whether or not there are universal human values, and whether certain things should be considered right for everyone are very difficult questions to answer, we must be wary as to not insult different cultures, religions and societies. It has been concluded that an objective reality cannot exist without a

So what is ethics? George W. Reynolds states that “ethics is a set of beliefs about right and wrong behaviour within a society” and that “ethical behaviour conforms to generally accepted norms” with almost all of them being universal. As we all know, certain behaviours such as cheating and lying are
