It is a form of autopilot and will operate on heuristic and may jump to conclusions. As stated in “Thinking Fast and Slow”, System 1 is gullible and is will may overlook evidence, but when a task is difficult it will shift to System 2. When an action requires more mental engagement, problem solving or reasoning, then the mind uses System 2. System 2 is will slow the mind down

Chapter 15 Summary: Involuntary Psychiatric Commitment Many ethical issues surround the involuntary psychiatric commitment of mentally ill patients.

I am always full of sorrow when I read the history of colonialism and involuntary immigration. One thing that struck a chord with me is “Trail of Tears”. The displacement of 17000 people and the march to a new location was one of the most egregious acts in the history of the U.S. and the delicately named Indian Removal Act was probably an unconscious attempt at ethnic cleansing. “The Trail of Tears” also reminds me of “Death Marches” (1945), which were forced movements of prisoners from concentration

Patients are determined to have ALS if they have both upper motor neuron disease and lower motor neuron disease (Gordon 2011).

In this passage, Aristotle asserts that ignorance always leads to involuntary actions. This claim is part of his overall purpose of associating agent responsibility with the moral judgment of actions. After expounding on Aristotle’s argument I will object to the concept of ignorance of particulars by challenging one of its components.

In addition, there are two methods of performing Euthanasia: passive and active. Passive is when a patient has life-saving treatments withheld

R. Scollon, S. Scollon and Jones (2012) make a distinction between two forms of discourse systems: voluntary and involuntary discourse systems (p. 178). Voluntary ones are built around goals that participants share and are, for instance, corporate discourse systems. In contrast, involuntary ones are built around characteristics that participants share and are, for example, gender discourse systems (Scollon et al., 2012, p. 178). As an example, the corporate discourse system is practiced in corporations
