This is immoral because the NCAA uses the athlete’s likeness and then the athletes get no direct (monetary) compensation. We should approach evaluating the morality of student athletes using the normative theory of Utilitarianism that supports the claim that student athletes are exploited in their work and on the other hand, Kant Ethics that claims the results of the athletes do not matter, because consequences do not matter. Utilitarianism and Kantian Ethic both agree that it is immoral not to pay
hours and for this exam, I could either study for two hours and not get a good grade, or break the rules by using the notes during the exam, therefore getting a guaranteed A. What should I do? Cheating is against the rules of all corporations, institutions, and life. It is not viewed as morally correct because as one cheats, one is taking the easy way out and disrespecting those who work hard for the same outcome, therefore breaking binding contract of respecting others around you. It is tempting though
material I have chosen to review for my final analysis paper. Homosexuality has been something that has plagued my generation with confusion and doubt. I grew up at the tail end of the AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) epidemic and can remember when major news networks were blaming homosexuals for the rapid spread of this particular disease. I have also seen the passing of many pro-gay rights acts and in many ways this was my generation's civil rights advancement for future generations. This topic

mind is something scientists have been trying to comprehend forever. Science can not alter how the mind communicates with one’s body, or even how it works. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein uses the creation of a fake being to emphasize the fact that the human mind cannot be altered or replicated effectively. Dr. Frankenstein thought he would be able to create and control the mind of a creature. He had tried many times, but to no avail. After talking with a professor, he finally figured out a way that he
In order to do this Swift creates an alter ego, a persona who puts forth the ghastly proposal but in a logical fashion. Swift uses a 'Juvenalian' sort of satire, a way of getting at the reader without targeting them directly. Swift tries to expose the reality of Ireland in a
The Narrative Slavery can be viewed as one of the greatest examples of immoral treatment towards African Americans in the United States alone. Most Africans that were either captured, born, or sold in America, lived the life of a typical slave, however Frederick Douglass was the exception. Douglass, was an African American writer, abolitionist, and so much more, but before any of this, he was a slave. Fortunately, his master never treated him unkindly, until he was sent to be with a master that
Singer states that we are obligated to help people suffering from “lack of food, shelter, and medical attention”. I believe in some ways we are morally expected to make some sort of sacrifices to help people in need, although not to an extreme. By this I mean if you can help then you should help, but if you yourself are suffering then you are not obligated to do so. Not everyone is morally responsible to help. First I will do this by explaining Singer’s argument, then explain my thesis, and lastly
abortion exercises women 's rights, saves children from a life of foster care or orphanages, and from unfit parents. About 35% of Americans who protest abortion believe that it is immoral (Abortion, 20). Other protesters may be women who regret their own abortions and feel the need to preach this to anyone contemplating getting their fetus aborted, even though regret is subjective. Controversy aside, cases, and causes, of abortion are painful. It is painful for everyone involved, but it is also a reality
Many women get pregnant without meaning to do so. It could be from a one night stand with some guy she met at a bar, or with a long time boyfriend she is unhappy with. Sadly, a young woman could also get pregnant from being raped by a family member or even a complete stranger. What are they supposed to do? These women aren 't ready for a child. Some women will go through the pregnancy, but a lot of them will resort to abortion. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy (Vaughn 293). There are three different
