Butler finished last season with seven tackles for a loss and three sacks. With the departures of Caleb Azubike and Stephen Weatherly, that makes him the second highest returning Commodore behind only Zach Cunningham.

The first talk featured Miki Kaneda and focused on the manner in which the idea of prestige is entrusted in the current time period. The argument was that though prestige can still be gained through traditional institutions, such as conservatories and companies, new music and its practices broadens accessibility to prestige. The multi-media, multi-genre, and collaborative elements present in the performance practices of those involved in the New Music scene, such as WetInk of New York, demonstrates how successful this new model of prestige can be in reaching new audiences and of maintaining financial sustainability in a market environment.

There is very little question as to what action a strict deontologist would do in the scenario for this assignment he or she would unequivocally adhere to his or her duty. The more pressing question, of course, revolves around just where that duty lies. For a deontologist, that duty would lie with the job at hand and its responsibilities. As one who took an oath to only program software in accordance to the company that he or she works for which is essentially operating as an extension of the government that wishes the programmer to 'push the button' and destroy millions of innocent lives in World War II it would strongly appear that such an individuals would consider it his or her duty to effectively start World War III.

The different types of bias that exist in different forms of media (i.e. radio, TV, newspapers, the internet) are selection bias, agenda setting, priming, and framing. These forms of bias allow the media to influence public opinion. Selection bias occurs when the media only reports on one aspect of an event or issue without providing coverage on other aspects. The media could report only particular issues and problems they believe should have more public attention through agenda setting. Agenda setting is similar to the other forms of bias, priming and framing. Priming involves calling attention to some issues while ignoring others, and framing allows the media to influence the public’s interpretation of them. Different forms of media have

When Hellman and Hellman describe researchers participating in randomized controlled clinical trials as physician-scientists; they use that term to express the tension between the two titles (pg. 260). As a physician, the researcher is obligated to act in the best interest of the patient (pg. 260). The physician must not treat the patient as a means only (pg. 260). This means that the physician can’t just use the subject to further research. Physicians must give the subject the best treatment possible. If we refer to Kant, a physician’s role is pretty much just like Kant’s ethical view. A physician must view their subject as valuable. They also must treat their subject with respect. The other side of the researcher is scientists. As a scientist, the researcher is focused with benefitting humanity (pg. 260). The scientist must answer questions so that the public can be given the proper answers safely and efficiently (pg. 260). Unlike the physician, the scientist isn’t

The factors known to contribute to peace among states are very controversial. Some of the well-known factors to affect how peaceful states are with one another is the type of regime a state is under and whether they are in possession of nuclear weapons, ironically. According to the democratic peace theory, “democracies rarely, if ever, enter into war against each other” (Chan, 59). They are more likely to wage war with non-democratic states such as communist states, rather than a democratic one. Therefore this leads to peace among states who are democratic in nature due to the fact they share similar beliefs. States who possess nuclear weapons ironically are less likely to go to war with each other because they feel more secure.

Strategic planning is significant to a business since it is graphing a pathway to the future growth of the organization. Kaufman writes, “A useful strategic plan identifies and justifies” (2016, p.57). When the organization defines a cohesive vision that was listed in the journal, one can realize the value and the direction that the company is trying to achieve. Gale points out that the markets are not going through the normal means of purchasing their products, they instead saw the opportunity to purchase in bulk and sure the saving to the customers (2016, para.6). Their low prices create the competitive advantages the organization is looking for their stores.

The Kant’s Categorical Imperative test is defined as In the ethical system of Immanuel Kant, an unconditional moral law that applies to all rational beings and is independent of any personal motive or desire. In my opinion, Caryn’s decision to take the $500 to delete her review off of a travel advice website would pass the test. My reasoning for saying that is because although her experience was horrific her decision was logical because she was reimbursed for the money she lost because of her stay at the hotel which was desirable for her personal motive to receive some type of monetary gift and to be recognized by the company. Unfortunately, it was a honest decision because others wont be aware of the type of horrible customer service this

Applying Kant’s Categorical Imperative, acting “on the maxim whereby thou canst at the same time will it should become universal law,” to Larry and Rhonda’s scenario, the right thing to do is for Rhonda to take responsibility for her actions. To illustrate, if Rhonda were to ask Larry to take the blame so that she may avoid trouble for herself, the maxim in this case, she should imagine a world where everyone asks a friend to cover for them when faced with unfortunate circumstances. The idea of a world like this is ridiculous. By the “universal law” of Rhonda’s maxim Larry should also ask someone to take the blame for him, in order to avoid certain failures. The only other person in this situation is Rhonda and we have reached a

The idea that democracies do not fight each other can be traced back to the writings of Immanuel Kant over two hundred years ago in essay ‘On Perpetual Peace’, however, only in the early 1980s and with the writings of Michael Doyle was the idea consolidated. According to Doyle and other advocates of the democratic peace theory, liberal democratic states have been able to maintain peaceful relations amongst themselves, but are prone to wage war against non-democratic regimes. In order to prove this theory, vast databases have been constructed of historical dyadic relationships between states as well as detailed breakdowns of incidents of inter-state war. The conclusions reached are best shown in the work of Bruce Russett who has argued that

German philosopher Kant was first to introduce the Kantian ethics; hence, the named after him. According to Professor Elizabeth Anscombe, Immanuel Kant was Unitarianism’s rival; he believed actions that are taboo should be completely prohibited at all times. For instance, murder should be prohibited. Even though nowadays a person cannot be punished if death is involved as a self defense, from Kant’s perspective this is still prohibited, although sometimes these actions bring more happiness to the big majority of people than sorrow. Kant stated that before acting, one should ask his/her self: am I acting rationally and in a way that everyone will act as I purpose to act? Is my action going to respect the moral law or just my own purpose? If the answer to those questions is a no, the action must be abandoned. Kant’s theory is an example of the deontological theory that was developed in the age of enlightenment. According to Elizabeth, these theories say that “the rightness or wrongness of actions does not depend on their consequences but on whether they fulfill our duty.”( Anscombe, 2001) Kant said that morality is built based on what he called “Hypothetical Imperatives”, but rather principles called “Categorical Imperatives” he referred to it as the supreme principle of morality. (Texas A&M University, n.d.) Cavico and Mujtaba reported on their book that Kant stated that morality

Gleditsch asks the question if democracies really do keep the peace and he found out that they try to but also sometimes have problems within their own house (Gleditsch 289). This could explain why rebellions within a country usually win because the government is torn if they should quiet the rebellion or concede because they do not want to be thrown out of office.
