Boston Prep Moral Analysis

Ethics, or moral philosophy, as a field of intellectual inquiry developed in the west for well over two thousand years with minimal input from women. Women's voices have been virtually absent from western ethics until this century. The absence of female voices has meant that the moral concerns of men have preoccupied traditional western ethics, the moral perspectives of men have shaped its methods and concepts, and male biases against women have gone virtually unchallenged within it. Feminist ethics explores the fundamental effect of this imbalance on moral philosophy and seeks to rectify it. So the questions we face are: Do women have a distinct moral perspective? How if at all is gender

Deviance as sin,I definitely think in society's eyes stealing is a sin because how many times do you think that you can steal and god not notice how many times you did.

In the article, “Laying Claim to a Higher Morality,” Melissa Mae discusses the controversial topic of using torture as a part of interrogating detainees. She finds the common ground between the supporting and opposing sides of the argument by comparing two different sources, “Inhuman Behavior” and “A Case for Torture.” Mae includes clear transitions from each side of the argument and concise details to ensure that the essay was well constructed. The purpose of the essay is clear, and it is interesting, insightful, and unbiased.

Character Values are an important subject that must be taught to children or else they may never learn them. Thomas J. Lasley the author of “Character Will Likely Fail,” is against character education because he believes that character values are observed at home, and cannot be taught. While Kathleen Townsend the author of “Not Just Read and Write, But Right and Wrong,” believes that it is our duty as a community to teach our children values. Townsend clearly has a stronger argument because the only defense Lasley has to support his opinion is that it doesn’t matter whether or not we teach children values they are still going to act like the people around them. While Townsend has numerous facts and subject matter experts to support her theory that if teachers do not teach values then some children

The National High School Ethics Bowl Is an amazing thing that Wayne Memorial students Participated in this year. The members studied twelve cases over the course of five months. Only able to attend one local bowl they had to study all cases and master them if they wished to proceed to the National Ethics Bowl located in North Carolina. David Kangas expressed "If you want to join the ethics bowl you must have an interest in ethical dilemmas and you must be able to think deeper into problems that are presented." You must be capable to understand both sides of a single case. Kelsie Wysong '16 states"Many questions are asked but they are typically based off how the competitor believes the situation should be handled." When the bowl was attended

Jonathan Bennett introduces us to the concept of sympathy and how feelings affect our morality. Morality is principles that one would approve of. They can be society based. What one society may find moral, another may not. If your actions or principles are ones that are not approved of, it would be considered bad morality. Just like human beings, morality is constantly evolving and changing. What we might have found moral years ago or even yesterday, we may no longer find moral today. Morality has taught us a lot of lessons, some good and some bad. Jonathan Bennett makes a good argument for sympathy and why we should allow it to sometimes win or tie with morality.

While in middle school and high school, many of our teachers use to teach us about adolescents and warn us about our hormones and sex, but they never really touch on the topic about our mental change and how moral reasoning would change in such an unnoticeable manner. I honestly believed that I still had the same mind set from high school, until I learned about moral reasoning and watch the video of the three different age groups and it showed each mind set and their moral reason for the situation that was given. After watching that video, I reflected on the memories of middle and high school and realized, that I made a lot of dumb choices that I’m not proud of.

Summary: In chapter 1 of Moral Politics talks about that politics is about your own world view. The political division between republican and democrat is based on morality. Morality is based on the type of family backgrounds you have or family model you have such as strict father and nurturing father. And these models explain what “common sense” you have in mind, which you may not even aware of. Chapter two talks about the personal worldview problem for american politics, it will bring the questions that either you're more conservative or liberal. Both sides have their own views. It talks about why do conservatives think that morality should be their agenda. Liberals also have a paradoxical position even they also hold a moral position on

If one were to believe in a human soul, then the value of a human life is incalculable. Gould stated that acts of kindness often go unnoticed and proceeded to site warm food that was brought to the firemen of the September 11th attacks as an example. The casualties of the September 11th attacks total to nearly three thousand deaths and six thousand injuries (“Statistic”); a few warm apple betties cannot and will not balance out one life, let alone the September 11th massacre. The optimistic belief that the negatives of the world are compensated by the positives are therefore rebutted once examining the true worth of the negative action.

Through the invention of the television, the art of animation was able to transition from the big screen to the small screen. Serialized animated adventures boomed in the 80’s and 90’s as a market to pander for children, with dry, easy to follow storylines and bright flashing colors – no room for adult humor or ideas. However, just as the medium changed from film to television, the medium of cartoons has changed as well, opening up for innovative, if at times crude, animated series. Among this new influx of shows, one space time adventure has emerged to set itself apart from the usual lineup of grown-up cartoons. Rick and Morty has proven to be one of the most entertaining adult cartoon show with its engaging story and characters, witty commentary, and its clever use of science fiction tropes and dark comedy to balance the two.

Would you describe a dog as capable of being evil? Or a cat? Or a chimpanzee? Most likely you could not. We humans belong to the taxonomic kingdom of Animalia and are therefore animals. Our species has evolved from animals that looked and acted more like the modern chimpanzee than we do. So at what point did we go from being creatures of instinct do developing the concept of morality? A great deal of literature has been written about morality, examples of which can be located in fiction and non-fiction as well as in scientific, theological and philosophical fields. Specific examples include the bible, as well as the writings of Plato (c. 424-348 BCE), Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) and John Steinbeck (1902-1968). Morality is a trait that

There is no such thing as “absolute good” but “good for”. Whenever I meet my defining moment, I think about the question, “Whose good should I be serving?” I am not saying to evaluate whose interests are more valuable, but to evaluate whose interests are more important TO ME. There are three principles for me to evaluate different interests. The first is the interest’s indirect impact on the third party. For example, the police are investigating a theft and I know who the thief is. I must

James Rachels' article, "Morality is Not Relative," is incorrect, he provides arguments that cannot logically be applied or have no bearing on the statement of contention. His argument, seems to favor some of the ideas set forth in cultural relativism, but he has issues with other parts that make cultural relativism what it is.

According to the definition of the Moral Compass text, moral compass is the reflective, international adoption of values and behaviors as a framework for realizing the good in oneself, in others, and in the social and material environment. My own moral compass is constructed mainly by my parents and the eastern social values and principles of relationships, which are largely influenced by the thoughts and ideas of Buddhism, Taoism and the Confucianism. Among them, Confucianism affects my country’s social values and furthermore my parents and my moral compass the most. In the contrast of Western culture, Confucianism puts a huge emphasis on the relationships between individuals in family, school,

Now that both sides have been established, those stakeholders who favor and those who oppose the policy in question, each of their argument 's evidence and reasoning will be analyzed. The corresponding pages which follow will provide an understanding of each side through three developed sections: a critical analysis, moral reasoning, and a tentative solution. The critical analysis will thoroughly measure to what level an argument 's authoritative, accuracy, reliability, precision, applicability, and etc. is able to represent their claims. At the same time the critical analysis includes a judgement call on whether or not a side 'wins ' or 'loses ' each of their arguments based upon the strength and weakness of the argument 's claims and evidence. The moral reasoning section will then secondary the value of each side 's evidence, and focus on analyzing each side 's moral reasoning, or rather, evaluating what "values, obligations, consequences, and normative principles" present reasonableness to their position on morality. Following these two sections of analysis, a conclusion will be made on which of the two sides makes an overall stronger, more conclusive and moral argued solution to the normative question.
