Ben V. Kettle's Brother-In Law

Improved Essays
According to Kettle on page 191, Administrative institutions are needed to ensure that subordinates use rational and order instead of confusion. The brother-in-law should have honored his contract to use his position for the general good, not for personal interests.
Besides, I have considered the consequences of the action committed by Ben and his brother-in-law. The case details provide us with the information that some followers of the same actions appear in the society, while their actions are not purely understandable and have joking nature. One could presume that the brother-in-law, being performing his actions as the officer, in the simple meaning just could not predict and foresee that his actions would be not regarded as the pure prank

He has a clever way of manipulating them, where he gives them information, which then encourages them to talk. He uses rather aggressive language, putting pressure on them and forcing them to confess.…

    In his foundational work The Types of Legitimate Domination (1922) Weber attempts to establish a theoretical framework to help understand the nature of political legitimacy and the means by which it is achieved. By observing human relationships and their interaction with both formal and informal institutional structures, he is able to provide a detailed sociological analysis highlighting fundamental differences between several strategies of domination (Weber 1978: 212). In doing so, he establishes three 'pure types ' of legitimate authority based on the type of legitimacy claimed therein; legal-rational authority; traditional authority, and charismatic authority. Each type, according to Weber, endows its ruler with a justifiable right to rule,…

    A person’s behavior almost always can be justified, if their motives, goals, and needs are taken into perspective. All actions are prompted by motives. An athlete doesn’t train and practice to just do so, they do it to improve and to reach a specific goal. Although some may disagree, the US Army does not engage in war because they have the power to do so, but for political reasons. Same goes for the Driver and Nameless, who are prompted to assassinate the King and rob a pawn shop, not for personal satisfaction or achievement, but for personal self duty.…

    Kant’s moral theory is based on the fact that one’s action should be governed by a maxim that follows the purity of the will; the idea that one’s actions should be based on a will that aligns with duty and not on the consequences of one’s actions. In the contrary, rule utilitarianism is based on the consequences of one’s actions and how it impacts the overall happiness of the individuals involved. The following paper focuses on the ideas of duty ethics and utilitarian ethics; and how these ideas can be implemented in the case of James Liang. Kant believes that an act is morally acceptable when such an act perfectly aligns with one’s duty. Furthermore, he believed that all rational beings are obligated by the demands of duty.…
