What Is The Inescapable Moral Ambiguities Of Daily Life

People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine.

Ethical dilemmas occur when there is a disagreement about a situation and all parties involved question how they should behave based on their individual ethical morals. (Newman & Pollnitz, 2005). The dilemma that I will be addressing in this essay involves Michael, recently employed male educator working in the nursery, and parents of a baby enrolled at the centre. The parents have raised concerns about male educators changing their child’s nappy as they have cultural practices that do not allow this practice to take place. This situation is classed as an ethical dilemma as there is a dispute between cultural beliefs and legal requirements within the workplace. There are four parties involved (parents, child, educator and director), all

The cover of this book caught my eye and I wondered what it was. When I saw it I thought to myself and I said I would give this book a chance. I flipped the book over and I started reading a paragraph about the book. It had a lot of details and it was describing the characters very well. A good book for me is one with a

In his writing, A Practical Companion to Ethics, Anthony Weston explains people are more judgmental and it causes a lot more problems than solutions. Anthony Weston feels Ethics requires us to be mindful thinkers, because it helps fight unjust prejudgment. I personally feel this could help fix court systems, federal, and state wide corruption. Most importantly being a mindful thinker could help businesses. There are so many reasons that could fall under Anthony’s theory. Getting to know the author and his work. I feel his mindful thinking is to reach out to others and interact with more people in an expressive way. Weston believes this will help our community progress in a positive manner towards others. I think he feels ethics requires us

The book I chose for my book review is How the Other Half Lives by Jacobs Riis. Jacob Riis was a Danish American journalist who was considered a “mudrucker” and had a hobby of documenting certain things with photographs. He is actually considered one of the fathers of photography because he incorporated flash. His book demonstrated the horrible living conditions of poor people by writing and photographing the tenements that they lived in. The purpose of his book was to enlighten the middle and upper class with the reality of the horrible living conditions poor people were forced to live in.

I picked the theme of self-reliance. As I read the story it was unbelievable to me that she did not give up, even though there were many times when she could have. What she thought was a good idea in the beginning, being just a teenager, she had no idea what the impact she would make on herself and the future Africain American people in.

Response: I found Katherine A. Dettwyler’s, Dancing Skeletons; Life and Death in West Africa very interesting though I did not like the way in which it was written. To me it was written in a very scattered brain way, similar to how a hyperactive childs diary would look like. At times when Dettwyler was trying to explain something, she would go into tangents, mostly about her own personal opinions of the topic, which ruined the mood of the book, lessened the impact of whatever she was talking about at the time and frankly, it just annoyed me. I found it difficult to understand what was trying to be said and it made it difficult to read. I think if she didn’t try to cover so much in such a small book- malnutrition, female circumcision and other random topics- I would have enjoyed it more. One thing that I did like was how she wasn’t political on her trips to Mali, she just talked to people. She didn’t preach just talk and I think that’s what helped improve these people’s lives. It was interesting but I wouldn’t read it again or recommend it like I did for the Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down.

According to Joyce A. Little, the major moral problem that human’s face is that when people attempt to agree upon attacking evil, their different opinions separate their views on identifying exactly what should be right? Little expresses the problem as "we cannot agree on what would be right or good for society...by people whose fundamental views of reality are radically opposed to the Church 's" (23).

In conclusion the book the color of water I enjoyed very much because most books will just have one kind of point of view but this book had a child and his mother and to figure out some history from both sides makes it interesting, and the certain chapters I talked about in the story is what I found was most important and interesting and I believe most people would agree, and this is a book I would highly

Children of War this book goes through a war and shows what it was like for many people who were in Iraq and could not get out or wasn't able too. It tells and shows what the people and children had went through when they were stuck in Iraq while the war was going on. It's kind of a confusing book to read and follow along the entire time because there's not really any kind of a chapter it simply just goes through and three or four pages will be about what one family went through and then move onto another family. But that is one way that this book is unique in my opinion it takes a bunch of people's lives that went through the same war and tells and gives you a good idea what each family went through, and just about every single family had

The book that I chose to read is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. This book is long, and I had started reading it a while back, but never finished it. I finally decided to finish reading the book and I do not regret it at all. I have read other books from Ayn Rand before, where she depicts her philosophy about working hard for that one loves, reason being above all, pursing one’s own happiness, prospering in life, and achieving one’s purpose all while treating others as individuals, understanding the value of work, and trading value for value. Atlas Shrugged illustrates her philosophy of the ideal human beings through some really admirable characters.

Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We is a dystopian epistolary novel about an engineer, D-503, and his experiences up until the time the Integral is finished being built. The Integral is a spacecraft that will be used to travel to other planets and spread the philosophy of OneState, which is the perfect society that D-503 lives in that runs solely on logic and mathematics. Because D-503 lives in this logical world, he depends on math for a rational explanation for everything; and ever since D-503 has been introduced to the square root of negative one and the concept of infinity, he fears that these irrational concepts will disrupt the perfect mathematical world that he lives in. In short,

Throughout history, people have struggled with the concept of what it means to be human and how it affects how society conducts itself ethically. The basis of Margaret Peterson’s book, Among the Hidden, explains how in the dystopian society parents are only allowed to conceive two children, and if they have more they are required to dispose of the offspring to the population police. Luke eventually meets another third child named Jen who he must go and help grant freedom to all the third born children. To be human is to have ethical values, moral assumptions, responsibility, defined dignity, rights and justice.

“Brad is a production engineer at a bicycle company and part of his job includes inspecting broken bikes and drafting the design repairs for their repair” (Bartlett). Brad is considering replacing a broken brake cable with a more durable material, even though the customer did not request it in their order and specifically requested that “No aesthetic changes be made to the bike” (Bartlett). Brad’s manager suggests that his considered actions would go against the company’s policy of “The customer is always right.” Should Brad disobey the manager and the customer to possibly lose his job or go along with

The reason I chose this book is because it is about a different culture and a different life than of anyone I know.
