The greatest moral issue on the NY Med segment was filming and then releasing the last moments of Mr. Chanko’s life without his permission, nor his families permission. Mr. Chanko has, as all do, a right to privacy during any medical incident. The fact that his care team allowed individuals who were not there to make him better is a clear error in moral judgment.

due to our own personal moral duty to ourselves and our fellow man. In this essay, Thoreau states, at least three things that he wants the reader to do, and they are: take moral responsibility for doing the right thing despite the government wishes, avoid association with the government, and to disobey unjust laws.

Singer’s primary argument on world poverty goes as follows. Singer argues that as humans, we have a moral duty to try to prevent emotional or physical harm being inflicted on others, as long as we aren’t required to sacrifice anything of comparable significance (e.g. harm ourselves to the same degree.) He says, in relation to an analogy presented that

Churchgoing Christian men are convinced they are on a moral crusade to violently put an end to the convent in Ruby only through a series of misunderstandings that lead them to believe that mass abortions and witchcraft are occurring in the confines of their town.

I often associate the word “intellectual” with a very positive and benevolent connotation, but Real Genius has proven to me that being an intellectual does not automatically preclude someone from moral scrutiny. This 1985 movie captures an alternative view of the “geek” society and breaks stereotypes with the development of very three dimensional characters.

Three examples of moral lessons Atticus teaches Jem and Scout throughout the novel are the importance patience and kindness, the importance to respect people and privacy, and what true courage really is. Atticus’s parenting style is simple yet very effective, and I believe it’s a more modern way to parent. The first moral lesson Atticus taught Jem and Scout in the

Emotivism is a meta-ethical theory developed by AJ Ayer and agreed upon by C.L Stevenson which says that ethical sentences do not possess moral propositions but only emotional attitudes. This theory surged in the late 20th century, and was commonly known as the hooray/boo theory. I will discuss why I believe that this theory is correct and will discuss the problems that Emotivism faces, and I will give reasons on how emotivism can overcome these challenges. I will also be discussing why I think more

Examples of these less direct morals are seen by young adults in academic analyzation and in their personal and social lives through popular movies or music. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and Anglo-Saxon poem, Beowulf, exist to help readers understand a variety of moral principles needed

(sections 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.2), SF and NP models indicate Lakoff’s prediction about conservatives and progressives way of thinking. Lakoff predicts that if political actors of both parties adopt either SF or NP moral standpoint, accordingly this will affect the politicians’ framing of ideas, issues and will shape the policy they adopt. For Lakoff (1996) the SF and the NP models represent internalized cognitive way of thinking and ultimately acting. They are cognitive models that indicate separate ideological
