Principles Of The Immaculate Conception

10. What is the Honor Code? What kind of actions would constitute a violation of the Honor Code?

In 'The Problem of Abortion and the Doctrine of Double Effect ', Phillipa Foot takes into account what is called the Doctrine of Double Effect (henceforth DDE), which appeals to two effects that an action causes - one intended at and desired, the other foreseen as a consequence of the action but undesired. She uses this doctrine to critically examine its application and thereby assert that "My conclusion is that the distinction between direct and oblique intention (the DDE) plays only a quite subsidiary role in deciding what we say [in these cases], while the distinction between avoiding injury and bringing aid (the DAO) is very important indeed." In this paper, I will begin by first reviewing and commenting on the soundness of arguments in support of DDE in some cases provided by Foot. Then, I 'll show how and why Foot proposes an appeal to DAO or the Doctrine of Acts and Omissions which is explained by her on the basis of negative and positive duty distinction. I will then criticise this approach. Finally, I will analyse three different abortion cases mentioned by Foot from the points of view of DDE and Foot 's proposal of DAO.

Abortion has been a highly debated topic for many years. Until 1973, when abortion was legalized in the U.S., women were obtaining very dangerous abortions that often killed them in the process. Although abortion is legal now, members of society still do not agree on whether it is “right.” There are pros and cons of abortion, which can be examined by the three theoretical perspectives; Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, and Postmodern Theory. This essay explains what the three theoretical perspectives are and how they view the social issue of abortion.

In her essay “Abortion, Intimacy, and the Duty to Gestate,” Margaret Olivia Little examines whether it should be permissible for the state to force the intimacy of gestation on a woman against her consent. Little concludes that “mandating gestation against a woman’s consent is itself a harm - a liberty harm” (p. 303). She reaches this conclusion after examining the deficiencies in the current methods used to examine and evaluate the issues of abortion. Their focus on the definition of a “person” and the point in time when the fetus becomes a distinct person entitled to the benefits and protections of the law fails to capture “the subtleties and ambivalences that suffuse the issue” (p. 295). Public debate on the right to life and the right

If our honor code is to be successful, changes must be made so that the student body notices it. In source B, many

Ever since my elementary years, I have taken my education and the work I do seriously. My dedication to the qualities of scholarship, character, leadership, and service have helped me during my high school experience as high school was a eye-opener for a young girl with big dreams. A quote that is to mind when I think about what dedication to scholarship and character means to me is one by St. Jerome; “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.” I have always gone past the point that is the best I can do in my academics accomplishments, building my character, being a leader, and helping others. I take pride in the fact that I work hard, push myself, and excel

“At the University of Virginia, there’s a saying that students soon commit to memory: ‘On my honor as a student, I have neither given nor received aid on this assignment/exam.’ Students write this on every test in every class during their college career, pledging as their predecessors have since 1842 never to lie, cheat or steal.” (Source D) By making students write this statement, it creates a false sense of trust that can be abused. They are more likely to cheat because they think that no one will notice just because they wrote a saying on a paper. By putting the honor code in students faces, it creates a fake trust that can be easily

. . so that no one who is in the state of grace . . . can be lawfully hindered therefrom”. In regards to confessions, Canon 21 of the Fourth Lateran Council stated that, “Every Christian who has reached years of discretion to confess all his or her sins at least once a year to his or her own priest”. Moreover, On December 8, 1854 on the Feast of the Conception, Pope Pius IX declared that, “The most blessed Virgin Mary . . . by a special grace and privilege of Almighty God . . . was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin”. The Pope’s motive for declaring the Blessed Virgin Mary immaculate was to assure blessing for the Church. Specifically, Pope Pius IX believed the Blessed Virgin Mary was the way to salvation. He stated, “the whole ground of our confidence is placed in the most holy Virgin . . . if there be any grace, if there be any salvation we must receive it solely from her”.

The Kelley Honor Code means to me a set of guiding principles by which to prejudge my actions, and fellow academic candidates as we represent the Kelley School of Business and more broadly, the Indiana University. Accepting the code of honor is to conduct myself with a sense of rectitude and integrity. The acceptance of the Kelley Honor Code will require me to analyze my actions to ensure they are in agreement with the principles within the code.

Our school community abides by a strict honor code. We believe honesty comes before all other values. Our team kept these morals in mind and adhered to them for all aspects of our project. Our school's honor code states: "As a member of the Charlotte Latin Community, I am responsible for upholding and promoting honesty, trust, respect, fairness, and justice in all venues of School life. To maintain personal integrity, I will not cheat, lie, steal, or plagiarize. I will do my best to raise awareness of the importance of honor for the purpose of making Latin a better place to learn and work. I understand the Charlotte Latin School Honor Code and will uphold my HONOR ABOVE ALL."

The issue of birth control remains one of the most controversial issues within the Catholic Church dividing members at all levels including the clergy. The Roman Catholic Church for the past 2000 years has been a major opponent of artificial birth control (BBC). Pope Paul VI made a clear declaration on the use of birth control when he wrote ‘the Encyclical Letter ‘Human Vitae’ on July 25, 1968 which banned Catholics from using contraceptives (Pope VI). These important declarations demonstrate the power of the Papacy to shape public policy on matters relating to human health and reproduction on a global level. The belief within the Catholic Church is that God have the sole power over the creation of life and humans have no role in this
