Ethics Vatsal Patel 20526156
Let us start this essay by defining what manipulation is. Manipulation is a result of utilizing any means necessary to get what one desires. That means can be the use of tricks, persuasion, motivation, abuse, or any tactics which influences another individual to do something. I strongly believe that in today’s world, when one party manipulates an individual, money is the main factor in one way or the other. In this essay I will be discussing two different scenarios where a specific individual or a group of individuals are manipulated by one party. The first scenario will be of how some salesmen manipulate elderly …show more content…
The second scenario will be of an Indian spiritual guru who manipulates vulnerable devotees and charges them money for a blessing. I will approach both these scenarios from an ethical standpoint and also by using one or more dimensions of the moral basis to support the manipulation in both of the scenarios. I will not be agreeing on the evolutionary basis of why such a moral basis exists. The structure of my essay will be simple, following this introduction I will have a paragraph which defines the dimensions of a moral basis and also what a utility is. After that, I will have 3 paragraphs for each scenarios, the first describing the manipulation/situation, the second will be a discussion on ethics, and the last will be a discussion …show more content…
This is because when you are 90 years old you do not know better, you do not want to go through the hassle and research about the products. The elderly have their own finance, and health to worry about. Thus they do not need to create more hassle, and thus as a result end up overpaying for services and useless products. An alternate utility that would cause the individual to take steps to avoid manipulation would be asking their children for help. Since their children have more knowledge about the products/medicines and their prices they could easily help their parents from wasting money thus being

    Ingalls 1 Cody Ingalls Professor Rhodes Introduction to Ethics April 15th, 2017 Case Study The debate surrounding abortion rights presents many ethical dilemmas, and is rarely a black and white issue, which makes it difficult to label all abortions as moral or immoral.

The case raises interesting questions about the morality of abortions in the case of rape, and the autonomy of…

    Examples Of Manipulation In One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

    Nearly everything in this world is a matter of manipulation, whether it may be between two people, by our society, or even just you and the voices inside your head. In the book One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey, the Big Nurse, Nurse Ratched, becomes in conflict with Mcmurphy, who recently moved from the work farm, as he opposes all of her policies. Similarly, Christof, the creator from Truman Show written by Andrew Niccol, traps Truman Burbank in a dome where everything is fake and everyone is an actor including his father, wife, and best friend.

    Julius Caesar Manipulation Analysis

    The profusion of power in understanding a person’s weaknesses allows for the potential of manipulation. When utilized in the right way, this power has the capability of persuading people to do things they never could have imagined. Through the actions of the characters in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare demonstrates how manipulation of the naive can result in one’s success, but when used carelessly, it can lead to fatal consequences. If clever enough, exploiting the weak characteristics of the noble, loyal, and arrogant allows for the manipulator to control them and ultimately compel them into believing what they’re being told.…
