Obey At Any Cost?

Research Experience Paper Psychology 101 Arielle Mason Professor C Maile October 15, 2013 Article: Obey at Any Cost? Many times we are given commands or orders from a higher authority or power some of which we do not agree with or follow. This is because we use our moral values and human emotions to determine whether they were right or wrong. But there is a time where we may judge and not agree while others may not pass a judgment and be in agreement. In the study of Psychology we

obliged to obey even unjust laws? Think about what this means. This means that laws, regardless of how unfair, unjust, or immoral they may be, must be followed with no better reason that they are the law. To the thesis that we are obliged to obey even unjust laws, I will argue that the standard objections to Civil Disobedience, given by Singer, are incorrect               To begin, however, I believe it is necessary to define an "unjust" law. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, "Any law that

Disciples of Christ do not receive salvation because they obey God, but they obey God and submit to Christ because they have salvation (Rogers, Adrian, 2005). Jesus told the disciples that if they call him Lord they must do what he commands (Matthew 7:22). To be a disciple of Christ, we must submit to Jesus and trust that He is our Lord and Savior. We must have faith in Him and look to Him as our guide. Disciples of Christ should obey Jesus because God is not a man, but a sovereign God who has

idea of law was intended for order and avoiding citizens from revolting and rebelling against the government. People should obey the law because the law creates a stable and safer society. There are many reasons why people obey the law People obey the law because of religious values, fear of punishment, costs, and it protects the weak. Obey Citizens can choose to obey the law because of religious beliefs. The law was strictly enforced in the bible. The story of Jesus of the Nazareth death can

the will to obey the law is not just for her country but that of her immense amount of love to her family and the Gods.While in contrast , Socrates personifies a synopsis of the two important notions, based on the idea of a higher authority, which is demonstrated in his defense before the Athenian court in Plato 's Apology. They both prevail the idea of adhering to higher authority but there standpoints on the issue differs. Despite Antigone and Socrates both revere willingness to obey law , even

without a reason; however, when there is authority allowing such harsh rules to be enforced, people will most likely obey their authority. To test his theory, Milgram required forty participants in total who had to be twenty to fifty years of age with various backgrounds. All of the participants that came to the study were paid beforehand so that the experiment would not have any flaws by their actions towards getting their money. After receiving the money, it will be theirs to keep with the option

BHP is a top producer in the global mining industry with sales of $44 billion and operating in 25 countries. The current influences that may affect BHP’s profit and how it is run are globalisation, technology, cost-based competition, and government policies as priorities. BHP needs to focus on technology and globalisation, as they are key factors and influences that may affect the business greatly as they are directly linked with BHP and its operations processes.

how we as Christians are to obey the governing authorities (President, police, all authority) Jews were impatient of the Roman dominion, and that some held it to be unlawful, on religious grounds, to pay tribute to Caesar (Matthew 22:17). “Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” And Jesus called them hypocrites and said, “render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Jesus was telling us to obey Caesar, be subject to the

War: The Real Price To Be Paid "In war the dead pay the debts for the living," (Collier and Collier 167). The real cost of war is so great that the thought of paying the price is rather unfathomable. In My Brother Sam Is Dead by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier we get a glimpse into the lives of not only the Meekers but the people of their town and we observe the price they paid for one of the biggest and most powerful wars of our American history, The American Revolution. In this historical

I believe Hobbes understands the state of nature as something that needs to be avoided at all cost. I have interpreted Hobbes’ as trying to understand the problem of human obligation, whether or not there are moral reasons for each of us to obey the laws of our country. Moral reasons, for Hobbes, are laws that are imperative for us to all obey. Failure to cohere to these laws would result in serious consequences for greater mankind. So, Hobbes indicates that human obligation is just political obligation
