Overall, the individual will make a decision based on what is thought to be good by God despite not establishing what is wrong or right, as mentioned by Plato, making it debatable (Vaughn 17). Since divine theorists view the Ten Commandments as God’s morals codes, it is suggested by such theorist that by choosing to leave a great amount of the individuals behind, it is immoral; God says individuals shall help their neighbor. With this information, there comes a time in which God, himself, has to make these
wrong. These deliberations, however, are largely influenced by our own understanding developed through our cultural backgrounds, the way in which we were raised, as well as the experiences we have gathered over time. Different people have different moral views, but those do not decide what should be right or wrong. Nonetheless, there are actions that can be determined objectively and universally as morally right or wrong, provided that Divine or Natural Law acts as reason to direct these inclination
Macbeth’s Mental Deterioration Mental deterioration is when one’s mind begins to over-analyse, breakdown, and start to do things a healthy brain would not normally do.

morality with all possible individual’s variations falling between them. If the Noncomparative Principle’s judgement is based on fallacy, then it would cause moral dilemmas in many of the people who hold these beliefs. This would hypothetically create a more condensed scale of beneficence, no longer fueling the more greedy and selfish moral judgements. In the best possible scenario, proving the Noncomparative Principle to be erroneous would create a more morally unified
Jonathan Swift is a well known writer who wrote Gulliver 's Travels and many more lesser known works. "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift can be used to argue many things. The work itself is a pamphlet to that explains how one could go about the famine in Ireland. He suggests by his title that this will not be a over the top or extreme suggestion instead being modest and understandable. The most notable part of his work however is the obscenity of it as he describes in detail what the benefits
prolific thinkers of the nineteenth century, whose liberal political philosophy has influenced intellectuals and political theorists for decades (Feinberg, 1986). At the same time, Mill's utilitarian approach to society at large reveals sensibilities and moral considerations that enhance his liberal attitudes in the most surprising ways. According to Losurdo (2011), it is widely believed that Mill is one of the greatest opponents of paternalism, supporting individuals' liberty and autonomy. However, Mill
Stockmann I would choose to tell the citizens in the community and do everything in my power to have the Baths shutdown until the water was safe. I believe that it would be my moral duty to have the Baths shutdown because it is causing harm upon other innocent people. I feel that this situation goes against every moral code I have come to known and feel like I would have to do, as Dr. Stockman wants to do, tell the community of the poisonous water and have it shutdown until a new one can built.

humans have created and been engrossed with artwork. Art, whether in the form of music, paintings, movies, etc., can have multiple functions, including telling a story, providing a moral lesson, engaging our emotions, or just being entertainment. In a world as diverse and imperfect as ours is, an artist’s intentions and morals can be controversial and viewed negatively depending on the place and time in which his or her artwork is viewed.
