Morality And Moral Decision Making

After amassing and reviewing all information collected through the assessment of moral integrity and the ethical decision framework, the nurse should have a better understanding of the ethical dilemma and how it affect each person and the organization. It will better allow her to show moral courage to overcome fears, and resist pressure and act differently to make “right” decision. Making the “right” decision however requires the nurse to demonstrate moral leadership and courage. The nurse may have to overcome adversities that might test her resolve in ways unimaginable. Commitment will be a key element to obtain changes, if they happen at all. At the end, if the changes lead to creating an ethically conductive environment and workplace, the nurse would have advocated for patients, herself and colleagues.

From 1937 to 1940 most of the anti-Semitic cartoons depicted zoomorphic Jews. The animals portrayed took on features attributed to the Jews such as large noses, evil smirks, and claw-like hands preying on world domination. This technique is called ‘crude zoomorphism’ and stereotypes humans as animals (Garrard). “The notion of animality assumed here is uncontrolled in violence” and it is used to condemn a certain group of people (Garrard). A prime example of these monstrous animal depictions comes from an issue of Der Sturmer from 1937 titled “The Economy and Jewry” that presented a cartoon titled “Demon Money”. A wild animal, as the subject of the painting, is engraved with the Star of David over his heart, labeling that the Jews had intentions

Some of the deficiencies in the way cultural relativism addresses moral problems, according to Holmes; are that they remain impractical, they are subject to change depending on where you live, and that people tolerate the different cultures. As a professional business person, I agree with Holmes analysis. Allowing others perceptions or beliefs to get away with our own personal beliefs would be contradicting ourselves. It is important to stand up for our beliefs, and help educate others on ethical issues. Over time we can make a difference in the world by modeling moral beliefs and ethics.

Morality is a key component to every day life, and due to its large impact on the world, it is often a major topic of discussion and argument. Some people may infer that morality is nothing more than an individual concept, while others, like me, believe it cannot be altered for personal benefit. Accordingly, in this paper I will argue the necessity for objective morality, and furthermore, how if it happened to be objective, the world would be chaotic. While I understand that there are various situations and circumstances that prevent people from acting morally, I think overall there are certain ways of acting that in turn prevent people from hurting others. Similarly, I believe that cultures play a major role in the development and upholding of various principles that obviously shape society. With that in mind, I am also going to explain the importance of maintaining certain values in order to ensure sustenance, with a particular emphasis on why certain cultural values and principles cannot be accepted. Again, I realize that there are various views and opinions that are strong regarding relative morality, but overall, it is not ok that moral relativism allows for the tolerations of any cultural or individual belief. Also, objective morality clearly provides the world with the best chance of prosperity.

In his commentary, Are Moral Judgments Good or Bad Things? (2017), Robb Willer explains that moral judgements can be beneficial to human beings. He supports his claim first, by explaining the opposing point then refuting it; later, he reports and experiment supporting his claim. His purpose is to show readers that moral judgements are positive and not always negative. Although his viewpoint is very straightforward, he is able to attract a wide rage of readers due to his research.

The Authors have debated the (de)criminalization of Section 309 on three grounds, morality constitutionality and rationality. The contention of the Authors is that there is an inherent flaw in the mechanism of criminalizing an attempt to suicide, the reasons for which are dealt with below.

In today society people are often praised and respected if they have “good” morals or “good” virtues. However, what does it mean to have “good” morals/virtues? See while some people may say that it involves doing the right thing that is not true. When it comes to being a moral or just person the answer is more complex and varies on the situation. Well in the book the Republic by Plato, Plato’s teacher Socrates converses with friends on the meaning of being “just”. While Socrates never really defines the meaning of virtue, he only gives counter examples against three of the individual’s definition. Although his argument make the reader feel as there is an answer to his question, Socrates is instead questioning their answer

Hi, Mary. I’m taking Moral choice class in this semester, and I found an interesting concept. There is the ethical relativism. It is said that there is no one standard about what is right or wrong. The judgement of what is right or wrong varies from cultures to cultures. The same action may be morally accepted in one society, but it is not accepted in another society. I think that the ethical relativism is true. I agree with the idea that there is no one objection answer. In the first, the culture always changes. It cannot be the same style all the time. If the standard about what is right or wrong depends on the cultures, when the culture change, the standard also should change. In other words, the morality answer cannot remain same, and it

Morality only exists if we believe in God; therefore if God doesn’t exist there is no morality. There have been so many evil acts committed in the name of God that it is difficult to maintain that a belief in God equates to morality. There are situations that happen every day where decisions are made based off of human rights that contradict the word of God. Morality comes from within, it is an understanding of right versus wrong and the ability to choose what is right. Knowing all this a belief in God is not a requirement for a person to be moral. (Mosser, 2011)

     Throughout American Literature we often see in the works of writers, how the character are torn between doing what is right and doing what is wrong. Like the transcendentalist who believed that experience was valuable way of learning, we also see in the works of William Faulkner’s The Reivers as well as in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “My Kinsman, Major Molineux,” we see elements of this belief. In my paper I will discuss the major themes of The Reivers and My Kinsman, Major Molineux.” I will also show how the main characters in each will use their free will overcome

In this paper I will discuss the relationship between religion and morality. I will first address the question asked by those with religion, how are atheists moral? Then I will examine morality and its relativity to culture. Next I will explore whether those without a religion are actually more moral than those with a religion. And finally, I will discuss any possible objections to my claims. This argument is in no way saying that those that believe in God are unmoral but that those who don’t believe in God, are just as capable of being moral. Being atheist means that you choose to believe that God, or a god, does not exist. You have no faith or religion, you don’t go to church every Sunday morning, or pray every night before you

Meaning of the phrases �the ends justifies the means’ The phrase �the ends justifies the means’ is a very popular in many fields and is also used in our day to day living. However, it is more used when talking about morality issues whereby it means that the morality of an action or behavior depends entirely on the result of that action and not the behavior or action itself. This is phrase that can be viewed different by proponent of different moral theories. A consequentialist theorist will agree with this phrase. For example, if one tells a lie to save the other person from grief, the action of telling the eye is viewed as good. Another example is whereby a person kills the other in order to save the others.

Moral laws are the criteria that determine the course of action one is to take. Kant finds that moral laws are categorical imperatives determined by free beings that must follow the principles of universality, necessitation, and autonomy. Man must use his own reason to determine the action that is obligated by morality in every separate circumstance. Kant’s theory is relatively abstract, but by focusing moral law to be a system of application on an individual basis, he avoids basing morality on predetermined outcomes. Kant realizes that it is impossible to realize the complexity of cause and effect, and therefore impossible to know what action will lead to the best result. Even if God predetermines all

As part of leadership, morality has been seen as a fundamental part. Among the leadership traits, morality is has been defined as a very significant reality in how the leaders would interact. By extension, various definitions have been brought forward in the attempts to understand morality. However, moral relativism has been defined as a “theoretical approach under which what is right and what is wrong is effectively studied,” (Sergiovanni, 2013). Therefore, it is very difficult to distinguish ethics from morality. Ethics and morality seem to augment each other in emphasizing the guiding principles of life. Clearly, morality encompasses almost all aspects of the human life starting from an individual level and extending to the societal level. In the same light, there is no agreed definition of leadership. Gini (2011) in the article, “Moral Leadership: An Overview,” asserts that leadership entails numerous points of view that seem to all be centered on the fact that a leader will prioritize efforts so as to realize positive results for others. Thus, leadership is a social process that involves positive influence between a leader and their followers (Gini, 2011). The fact that leaders would have to be in touch with their followers; emphasizes should be morality. Moral leadership entails a leader who is concerned with their principles regarding rightness or wrongness of their human character (Sergiovanni, 2013). Moral leadership is important since its

The ability to distinguish between actions that are right or wrong, is an innate characteristic designed in to every person. There are many theories that attempt to explain how individuals acquire morality. Some say that morality is a learned behavior, and others contribute human morality to a view of fairness, or unfairness. I believe that morality is declining in our society, and its decline has a negative effect on society. Does the passing of time change morality or will society change with the passing of time? We can seek the answer to that question by exploring different aspects of our society to determine if a decline of morality has any negative effect on our society. Specifically, does the decline of morality have an effect on crime rates, laws, and the decline of a nation.
