    He, unlike other writers, does not see morals as the major cause of cheating, although he does not discount the fact that they do play a part. Staples, while talking to a physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was told, "The big sleeping dog here is not the moral issue. The problem is that kids don't learn if they don't do the work" (Staples). So to put it simply, Staples does not think

    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. While all art has a place in society, not all art is equal in quality

    sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it. It requires us only to prevent what is bad, and not to promote what is good, and it requires this of us only when we can do it without sacrificing anything that is, from the moral point of view, comparably important. The principle takes no account of proximity or distance. As well it makes no distinctions between cases where I am the only person who could possibly do anything about it. From the moral point of view,

    Though told by a self-confessed liar and hypocrite, the tale has a powerful moral and imaginative effect. How far do you agree with this view of the text? Chaucer’s pardoner is an enigmatic, paradoxical figure, both intriguing yet repulsive. From the very beginning of his Prologue the Pardoner makes no attempts to hide his “ypocrise,” instead taking a perverse pleasure in the extent of his corruption. As seen in the portrait of the Monk in The General Prologue, Chaucer allows the Pardoner

    Relativism is the philosophical viewpoint that there are no actions that are innately immoral or moral, and that the morality of actions must be measured against the individual circumstances, from a multitude of perspectives that include the actor as well as the myriad consequences (and victims, potentially) of such an action.

The mere fact that the government prescribes something to us does not morally justify our doing it (though it may prudentially justify it, and therefore, in some cases it may morally excuse it). The decision to obey a government must be an autonomous one – one that, like any decision which can affect other people, we should justify on the basis of a freely accepted moral principle. But if this is so, to what extent are we really

    Fairy tales read to young children not only served as a form of entertainment for the child, but they also taught children the difference between what is good and what is bad. The Three Little Pigs is a prime example of the morals and lessons that children were taught while reading a fairy tale. The fact that the tale is equipped with adventure and the ability for animals to talk causes children to immerse in the text while acknowledging the consequences of laziness of the first two little pigs

    guidance when trying to resolve moral dilemmas in life in order to decide the best solution. They are prima facie because they can be overridden. His theory isn’t subjective but Ross believed there was an objective fact of the matter to help you decide what to do. Certain circumstances or features of the conflict decide what one must do after all things are considered. Your judgment really is the only method one has because there is no super principle that helps to justify moral rules and no central intrinsic

    It is late into the night as I set down to pen this written rambling of thought, a major piece of literary confusion plaguing my mind something most fierce that I cannot even lay my head down to rest peacefully lest this situation be resolved.
