Moral Code Of Self Independent And Only Trust

First, Chigurh’s characteristics are consistent with those of a sociopath meaning he does not feel emotion and he lacks empathy. Throughout the novel, Chigurh kills every man and woman who obstructs him without expressing any sign of remorse. Chigurh callously states that his victims always say “you dont have to do this” just before he kills them (257). While he is explaining to Carla Jean why he must kill her, Chigurh tells her that it is pointless to plead for her life because he intends to kill her regardless. Given that he is sociopathic, Chigurh feels no compassion for his victims who are begging for their lives. They fear death, an emotion Chigurh has never felt. Shortly after their conversation, Chigurh shoots Carla Jean despite her pleas. Additionally, Chigurh ruthlessly kills anyone to accomplish his task more efficiently. For example, Chigurh kills a deputy and a bystander, Bill Wyrick, for the sole purpose of stealing their cars. After killing the innocent man with the cattle gun, Chigurh

Meursault's character is the determining factor in his conviction and sentencing. His social rebellion is deemed immoral and abominable. The reader and the novel's characters both try to rationalize Meursault's actions in order to give his life meaning. But according to Meursault, life is meaningless and consequently needs no justification.

In life, people are guided by moral beliefs and principles. Whether their beliefs are good or bad, their decisions are based on them. In Plato “The Crito”, Socrates emphasizes his moral beliefs and principles when he decides not to escape from prison. Although Socrates had the opportunity to escape his death sentence, he chose not to do so because he had a moral obligation to commit a sacrifice.

As a social work undergraduate, we have several queries regarding why it is so important to follow the NASW code of Ethics and values that relate to human diversity, with regard for the worth and dignity of all persons, as applied to a specific case where we are delivering social work. It is very essential to recognize the five core values of social work, service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, and integrity and competence on our occupation of social work. Today, we have chosen two areas and situations of how we are going to deal with our biases and our challenges while working as social workers, by employing the NASW code of Ethics and values that relate to human diversity, with regard for the worth and dignity of all persons.

Because their relationship isn't it’s best, Carla has to find ways to have a pleasant moment with him, even if it means coming up with an exotic story. Carla tells a “bedtime story” of how Mr. Jamieson would get aroused by Carla and that seemed to spark Clark's interest. It was one of their rare moments where they both enjoyed being near each other even though it was nothing but an actual bedtime story. When these rare occasions happen, Carla would be extremely grateful. By her being grateful for a false telling of events, shows how truly desperate Carla is to find an escape from her constant misery. However, most things only work for a certain amount of time until it’s spark wears off. Once the spark wears off, what do you do then? You’ll find another escape; in Carla’s case, she literally finds an escape. After having her breakdown in front of Mrs. Jamieson, Sylvia, Carla expresses her desire to “get away”. If it wasn't for Sylvia suggestion and Carla’s vulnerability, she would have thought more about her actions. But, because Carla grew desperate for an escape from her growing sadness, she didn't blink and eye and accepted the

In order to give a little hindsight, I will discuss the dialogues between Socrates and Crito in Plato’s “The Crito”; the scene beings with Crito waking up Socrates’ in his jail cell and questioning how he seemed so calm and peaceful when the time for his execution was approaching at a rapid pace. Socrates, as calm as ever, replies that he is willing to die if it is the will of God. Crito begins to try to convince Socrates to escape from his cell by using different reasoning’s. Crito explains that if he rejected the idea of escaping and was executed, he would lose a loving and loyal friend and he would have to live with the fault of failing to save his life. On a more ethical level, Crito present more compelling cases: firstly, if he had stayed, he would helping his enemies in wronging him unjustly, and would then be acting unjustly himself; and second, that he

Throughout the war, many tend to lose their humanity because of the traumatizing experiences that the war can bring upon a person. Some tend to follow these norms of a wartime society through bloodthirst, while others try to retain their compassion in order to keep their sanity. The author describes this lack of ethicality in Mary Anne’s justification of unapologetically murdering innocent people, by saying that it makes her “feel close” to herself because she has found exactly who she is through this experience (106). By saying that she feels “close” to herself, Mary Anne is suggesting that regardless of the fear that she experiences and at the cost of her morals, she will do whatever it takes

Revenge can be analyzed, as it becomes the exhibited behavior of the Widow resulting from a number of causes. First cause is the harm done to her family; second cause is the Widow’s perception of violence during that time; and the third cause is her aggression toward the killer of her son. The first cause of her revenge is the most obvious reason why she avenged the death of her son, and this is because the killer caused pain to her family. Any mother would be committing the act especially that her son was the only company she has. The second cause pertains to the Widow’s perception of revenge during that time, and because at the time, wars and feuds were still evident in the French society, bloodshed for the Widow is not something to be scared of, given any means. This story was only successful in showing to its readers how the society thinks of death during those times, which can be achieved through any means, by which losing one’s life was not something to be thought of carefully. This just proves that during that time, morality was not given high regard as it is now. Death by any means can be accomplished by anybody, regardless of age, gender, and status in society. The third cause of the Widow’s behavior is her aggression toward the killer of her son, which was not literally shown or described in the story, but was evident based on

In Cormac McCarthy’s book No Country for Old Men, the main character Llewellyn Moss finds himself in a pretty scary position. He found a bag filled with millions of dollars and there are a lot of people hunting for him, to get that money. He is running for his life for most of the book. All of which is because Moss loved the power of money. Although you need money for material possessions and services, money corrupts you to be motivated to do bad things.

At the end, Socrates convinced Crito, that escaping from his cell would a big and dishonorable mistake, since he has always been endorsing the laws of

There is no judgement of Moss when he steals the satchel of money, nor his failure to report the crime scene he stole it from. Despite those two criminal offenses, even Sheriff Bell goes as far as to tell Carla Jean that, “it’s not me he’s in trouble with” (127). This illustrates and reinforces that McCarthy does not view the world as black and white, wherein Moss would be considered a bad man for breaking the law. Instead, it is the greater evils who leave death and destruction in their wake who truly need to be stopped in this world containing spectrum of evil. Even Chigurh, the main antagonist and gun for hire, is not judged by the novel’s narrative voice. His actions are merely stated as a matter of fact, and while they entice emotion in those who witness the aftermath, they are not judged so much as reacted to. Even upon the realization that a cattle slaughtering tool was being used for murder, Bell and his deputy do not question what kind of man would do such a thing, instead they simply display disgust at

In conclusion, it was up to the Grandmother’s death that s he realized her rude, obnoxious, judgmental, and selfish ways had gotten her no where and she will have to pay the ultimate price. The Grandmother never uttered a word about God or prayer until she was down on her luck, the Misfit acknowledging that the woman “would have been a good woman if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute in her life”, did not spare her life merely cause she was a lady, what she interpreted as being morally good (Bedford/St. Martin

Even if it means risking his life. A character’s choice, the consequence of the choice, and the impact on the protagonist is when Sophia makes a decision that could change her life. In the story I have found evidence of this choice. That evidence is “I don’t want to die,” he

Throughout life people face countless decisions; however, making the wrong choice may lead to a catastrophic consequence. As a woman was being brutally stabbed in Kew Gardens near Austin Street, numerous bystanders did not help or act upon calling the police. The choice of the bystanders to not phone the police lead to the death of an innocent woman. Had just one of the thirty-eight people called the police, that innocent woman would still have breath in her lungs. In the article “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police,” Martin Gansberg expresses his anger and disapproval toward those who left a poor woman to die. If the thirty-eight people took immediate action and did not make excuses, the precious life of Catherine Genovese would have been rescued.

Moral codes can differ between societies and historical time periods allowing different people to have different understandings of right and wrong. Throughout history the moral code of society has evolved, this, for better or worse, has led to significant changes in society. These changes include the approval of owning slaves, or the use of capital punishment. In our world today, there are significant differences in what is acceptable based off of the part of the world. Different cultures have different views and opinions on what is socially and morally acceptable.
