Samuel Johnson and Joseph Butler both compose their thoughts about self-deception and examine its true meaning. First, Samuel Johnson writes about how we, humans, tell ourselves lies about our behavior in order to see ourselves more superior than we actually are. He explains this in such a way that emphasizes the behavior of one’s actions then glorifying it. When in fact the behavior itself is not righteous or special. By self-deception Johnson says that we are making ourselves look better than

Thomas Hobbes and Francis Hutcheson both represent a move towards a materialist and psychologistic explanations of morality. Stemming from the nominalist views characteristic of the early modern period, both thinkers are influenced by a need for clarity, and apodicticity in philosophy in general, along with moral philosophy specifically.

We are not able to give our accounts as the accounts we give

In Rhacel Parreñas’ ethnography, Servants of Globalization, we analyse the life of the Filipina domestic worker who picks up from her home, moves to another country, and works as a nanny or house-keeper to make a simple wage to send back home. Throughout the ethnography, Parreñas writes about her encounters with numerous Filipina nationals around the world working to make a living. The goal of the ethnography is to publicize and allow people to analyze the injustices on domestic workers that come

career as a butler. This shows that he has been so conditioned to put his occupation above everything, how it has become his life and identity, and that his sense of identity is tied to his work. One of the pursuits of Stevens’ life is to show dignity. In his opinion, it is the quality that all butlers must show in order to be great. This is what motivates him to devote his life to being a butler. Stevens spends several pages musing on the criteria that should be met in order for a butler to be considered

Stevens is not one to take time off. He dedicates his life to the house. His mind is always on the subject of his job. His actions all concern his role as the butler of the house. He puts it ahead of family, of love, of his morals. He lets the love of his life slip through his fingers because of his devotion to the job.
