Korsgaard, who preaches the Neo-Kantian theories of philosophy, also makes a point that living beings, both human and non-human, can have intrinsic moral worth without having high rationality. She argues that humans face the problem of normativity, which emerges because of the reflective structure of human consciousness. Our reflective capacities make us less impulsive and allow us to take decisions in a more matured manner. When we determine whether a particular desire of ours should be reason enough to act on, we engage in a deeper level of reflection. Korsgaard points out that humans face the problem of normativity in a way that non-humans do not, by explaining how a lower animal’s perceptions of the world are its beliefs and its desires and impulses are its will.…

The use of animals in research is widely accepted, particularly within the scientific community. However, with the rise of new technologies and growing concern over animal welfare, the ethics of animal experimentation and the extent to which it is practiced has increasingly come into question. Although animal experimentation is regulated to prevent excessive suffering, opponents argue that these measures are insufficient. Proponents of animal research argue that knowledge gained from it and the various applications for it justify the unethical manner by which that knowledge is obtained. This argument neglects critical moral considerations rooted in deontology and utilitarianism which condemn the unethical use of animals for the advancement…

A society naturally develops a system of social control in order to enforce these social norms, both formally and informally.…
Decision making in the criminal justice system are met with competing values and interests. These conflicts relate to the determination of what is right or wrong and can be interrupted differently in some situations based upon the culture, changes over time, and on an individual’s upbringing. With this in mind, some decision such as those found in police discretion can be guided by social norms, justice, and personal values, but the police often encounter situations resulting in gray areas. Therefore, laws, training, and agency guidelines and code of conduct are put in place to assist officers in the decisions making process to set specific standards and processes (Gaines & Kappeler, 2011). With this in mind, the ethical and moral principles…
Consequentialism and deontology are contrasting theories of philosophy that guide us in viewing acts in terms of their morality. The doctrine of consequentialism suggests we should judge the morality of actions purely on the results they produce; whereas deontology aims to judge morality based on the conduct of an individual, and morality is decided from the moral acceptance of a particular action rather than the result the decision produces. These principles of philosophy have existed for thousands of years, with many philosophers throughout history using them as a basis for their work. In the context of an ethical situation, we can thoroughly use these ideologies as instruments to determine an effective solution to prevent a harmful dilemma;…
Health is described as a complete state of physical, spiritual and mental wellness. There are 3 approaches to defining the terms “health” and “disease”, however in this essay intend to contrast and compare two of these, namely naturalism and normativism. Naturalism uses scientific theory as a basis for definitions and highlights what is considered to be normal or natural for humans whereas normantivism relies on reflecting on a person’s values to define their health. Each of these only focus on one of the two factors that need to be considered when discussing medical cases, thus making it difficult to state whether one approach better defines “health” and “disease”. Naturalism is the most universally used philosophical approach for defining the terms ‘health’ and ‘disease’.…
