Moral leadership

making in the future would save the life of the driver and passengers over the life of a pedestrian given those as the only two options. In this paper, I will describe Jeremy Bentham’s moral philosophy of utilitarianism and why he would be in support of this statement; I will also briefly explain Emanuel Kant’s moral theory and why he would be in support of this statement as well. First I will start by explaining Bentham’s version of utilitarianism. This view of morality is based on the principle

In the past few years, enterprise integrity has come up on a regular subject of conversation. In the past ten years only, we have seen numerous situations associated with collaborative scams which have shaken the people 's trust in businesses and also the general economic climate. A few of the many salient frauds are the WorldCom and Enron 's scams, the ponzi scheme perpetrated by Bernard Madoff 's, the latest accusations of Goldman Sachs tricking option traders to guarantee the company 's personal

good and bad in a murder are blurred. One of the most important ideas seen throughout these pieces is the role of faith (or lack thereof) in decisions, whether in a life or death situation or in general, and that the question of what exactly makes a moral, good individual is not a simple one. As the idiom ‘there is more than meets the eye’ suggests, there has yet to be a completely pure, good human, despite how they might first appear. Despite the contributions of the other characters, The Misfit is

In this extract, we can see that Manh has attempted to encourage the students to volunteer to share their story after 10 minutes of discussion. However the way Manh frames his turn can hint at the unequal identities of speakers in this context. The teacher’s power exertion seems apparent as there is a sequence of Wh-question “who” used in the turn. Moreover the use of direct object “me” (line 34-36) is interesting as it signifies the dominance of teacher’s agency. Instead of choosing more collective

compatible with politics, for it is the people who create politics and in them rest morals. Morality itself rest in the individual, and as such is interpreted in various ways; when put together it is only natural that the definition of morality as a whole is simplified and thus individual interpreting is compromise and also, a consensus is reached. As discussed in the “Apology” and elaborated in “Crito,” Socrates’ stance is moral in nature but is in line with politics, in relation to today’s issue of marriage

American Medical Association that does not support intentional termination of the life of the patient or what is referred to as mercy killing. In her view, doctors only uphold their legal mandate by not engaging in the mercy killing and ignoring their moral duty to ensure the patient die without pain. The doctors only seek to avoid legal responsibility by letting the patient die instead of killing the patient. Alternatively, passive euthanasia allows the patient to die naturally while the active one requires

Abusive. Slave owner. Boastful. All traits that the infamous John Smith possessed. In 1624, John Smith wrote an autobiography about his encounters with the native Indians in North America, under the name General History. Previously, Bartolomé De Las Casas wrote an autobiography about his adventures in 1515 called Relation that discusses the mistreatment of the native Indians that he observed in the Americas, specifically Hispaniola. John Smith’s autobiography exhibits unacceptable traits such as

Durrenmatt uses satire in “The Visit” to criticize the the corruptive power of money. Before the arrival of Claire Zachanassian, the town of Gullen was poverty stricken. When Claire visits the Gullen, she offers a substantial amount of money to the town—but only on the condition that the town amends its past failure by putting Ill to death. Claire considers Ill’s death to be "justice". As the play progresses, Claire's statement that everything, including justice, can be bought becomes evident (Durrenmatt

euthanasia is not a simplistic one, but rather one which requires great consideration, contemplation, and evaluation. If the presumption, or belief, that universal morals do exist prima facie, then one can conclude that the practice of euthanasia, no matter what form, is indeed, morally upstanding. In the case of euthanasia, universal morals consist of, but are not limited to, the following: human dignity, an individual’s right to self-determination, accepting a duty of care (for self and others, which

High school has been my most treasurable experience so far; a time where I have learnt about a range of topics and developed the skills to view things from a personal perspective. For this, I owe a great thanks to all my English teachers; especially Mrs Hinds, who is here with us today and Mrs Lyndon, who helped prepare us for our final stretch of school. While preparing for this speech, when I read the assessments from the past two years, it surprised me to realise how much I had missed the point
