Such as (only use “such as” if you are continuing the sentence, but not to start a new sentence.) our author opening up his piece with a fictional scenario that seems a tad bit crazy, but serves as a very serious philosophical point.

    Jonathon Safran in his article explains his grandma’s life and the impacting situations that have led him to live and raise his children in a vegetarian lifestyle. In his article, Safran explains how one of the most impacting influences was his childhood babysitter who is a vegetarian and how she “didn’t want to hurt anything” and that “chicken is chicken” leading to her not eating meat. Safran’s grandmother was on the run (from the Nazi German’s) in her early days; she would eat the parts of food that others wouldn’t however when a Russian man had offered her a piece of meat she didn’t eat even though it could have saved her life. She wouldn’t eat the meat because it wasn’t Kosher. That seems to have an impact on his decision to be and raise…

    Market Meat: Ignorance and Morality Student ID: 0258094 In this squib I will criticize Norcross’ response to objection 1 to Norcross’ main argument from the essay “Puppies, Pigs, and People: Eating Meat and Marginal Cases” by Alastair Norcross. In objection 1 to Norcross’s main argument it is argued that Fred tortures the puppies himself, but meat eaters do not torture the farm animals. Norcross’ response is that, Fred’s hiring someone else to torture the puppies for him would be just as wrong. Norcross believes there is not a separation between one who tortures the animals themselves to obtain meat or in this case the fictional chemical “cocoamone” (Norcross, pg. 230).…

    In a business environment, there are many moral and ethical principles that surround business practice (Robbins et al, 2013). Firms are motivated by growth, expansion and profit, and as these rules bind business practices, many can be disregarded or avoided by individuals or entire firms, to cut corners in the pursuit of wealth. Competition drives efficiency, innovation, growth and raises incomes, however it also makes firms look to cut costs, their prices and indirectly destroy entrepreneurial opportunity. Businesses have to have the willingness to be ethical, as there will always be cheaper, easier, unethical ways to save money and time, but competition, as opposed to greed, promotes ethical behaviour in the long run (Shleifer, 2004). As competitive pressures lead firms to unethical behaviour, it also raises incomes and consumer’s…
