Decent Essays
Heylin Valdez
All-Natural Theory Imagine a world where humans act just like wild animals. Walking around having sex, defecating, and quite possibly fighting each other in the public eye. Well according to the all-natural theory these actions are permissible and lives up to the moral standards. Today’s sociality would frown upon those actions. But with this theory applied it would be normal and justified. All-natural theory is wrong and it would contradict itself. The first rule to the all-natural theory is that biological urges are normal to conduct. Examples of these urges would be providing for our families, protecting our selfies, and reproducing. Providing for families is a normal action in our world today. How would applying the natural

    Ethan Frome takes place in a small town in Massachusetts called Starkfield where he has a wife named Zeena but their marriage is falling apart and he is wanting to get out of the marriage but his wife Zeena isn’t quite letting the marriage end just yet, but when a new housekeeper named Mattie comes to take care of the house Ethan begins to fall for her. I believe that Ethan Frome is naturalism because I feel like there was more things showing that choices didn’t matter like when Zeena hired a new housekeeper and forced Mattie out of the house where she had nowhere to go. I think it also naturalism because Ethan and Mattie had to find an alternative ways to still try to see each other after Mattie has to move away. I also believe that Ethan Frome is naturalism because Ethan has to hurry home from work one night to get glue to try and fix the red pickle dish that the cat had knocked over and that had broke when it fell and hit the floor. It shows naturalism because Ethan had to try to fix it so Zeena didn’t come home and see it and freak out more then she would’ve when she saw it trying to be fixed by gluing it back together.…

    Many examples of naturalism are shown in the fictional short story, “To Build a Fire,” by Jack London, and in Beck Weathers’ non-fictional memoir, “Left for Dead.” In London’s fictional story, we learn of a man who went adventuring in the Yukon, looking for new trade routes. Unfortunately, the man was stopped short when the weather took a turn for the worst and got so freezing he could not even start a fire and eventually froze to death. In Beck’s story he gets caught up in a huge blizzard on Mount Everest and against all odds ends up surviving somehow. London shows naturalism because he knew he had to start a fire in order to live but not knowing a lot about the outdoors failed to successfully make a fire resulting in his death.…

    “Natural” versus “Nature” Does natural still mean the same thing in America today? Caitlin Doughty, author of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, struggles with the idea of what is truly natural in present American society, because the word natural had been tarnished. Doughty takes us through her experiences as a crematory operator at Westwind Cremation & Burial. A topic woven throughout the text is the idea of “natural” versus “nature.” Doughty argues that our culture’s false use of the term natural, a reliance on embalming, and our fear of death has changed our perception of what natural means.…

    Ethical Dilemmas The use of performance enhancing drugs has been an issue for our society as early as the 1960’s. Performance enhancing drugs are used to gain an advantage over one’s competitors. The National Football League and National League Baseball were some of the first major organization to start testing their players for steroids (Performance Enhancing Drugs, 2016). These drugs are so widely banned and morally frowned upon; the athletes who still chose to use them do so in secret.…

    Many Eurpeans rationalized their brutal actioms by turning to the scientific and cultural ideas of the late 19th century. King Leopold II was disgustingly cruel to the natives of the lands he conqured. In order to rationalize what he was doing to these people, he and many others turned to newfound scienfitifc movements as a way in which they could make themseleves feel better about their horrific actions. Charles Darwin’s belief in natural selection was implimented into much of the common thought during that time. He argued that “all life evolved from lower forms.”…

    Here “natural” is defined as either instinctive or a trait or characteristic that is the product of evolution. This view considers that humans and non-humans (animals) evolved in ways that made humans generally disposed to harm animals and made animals disposed to being harmed by us. Even though humans may not need meat to survive, we have an evolutionary heritage, shown by the design of our digestion and shape of our teeth. Since this is a natural relationship between human and animal, it is said to be morally good. This focuses on the “they do it, too” defense, meaning it is okay to eat meat because animals too eat animals.…

    Every person has their own political theory, whether they realize it or not. In a sense, a political theory is our ideas on how government and society should work. As a person becomes more educated and reads the works of other political and philosophical writers, the political theory expands. My political theory is a combination of not only my own opinions, but the ideas originally created by theorists such as John Locke and John Stuart Mill. Human nature is the beginning of any great political theory.…

    From the text Twelve Theories of Human Nature by L. Stevenson, D. Haberman, and P. Matthews I have learned about the twelve different theories; Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Plato, Aristotle, The Bible, Islam, Kant, Marx, Freud, Sartre, and Darwinian. I have chosen to elaborate on the similarities and differences between Plato and Kant. I chose Plato because he is known as the father of idealism and one of the forefathers of philosophy; which is the love of wisdom. Whereas, Kant is known as the father of modern moral philosophy; and also, his ideas and theories are thought-provoking and complex.…

    Culture is the collection of human traits developed outside of societal norms while nature describes the traits humans are born with. In the seven theses essay “Monster Culture,” James Cohen explains the aspects of culture in society and the human condition by portraying them as monsters from different cultural eras and places. The monster is multidimensional, different, and constantly evolving (Cohen 5). Michael Pollan’s article, “Why Natural Doesn’t Exist Anymore” explains the impact of the terms “nature” and “natural” on our society, and questions if the laws of nature dictate our ethics. In the perspective of nature, the monster is the enemy.…

    Reason and faith There are some clear differences between postmodernists and Christians. For example, the postmodern societies divide reason and faith from each other. Modernism seeks knowledge on the basis of human reason and investigation alone; you can work from a neutral starting-point and build upwards to truth. Accepting anything on trust is unnecessary and irrational. This is because they believe that there is a rational reason for things occurring, with scientific backing.…
