Ethical Considerations Project The issue lies in barring the rape victims in taking the emergency contraceptives in many Catholic hospitals.

By interpreting the author’s motivations through a Psychological Lens, it is clear that John Green’s childhood and the challenges he faced during it, show the comfort in his writing, through the concepts of protagonists, travel, and escape. When a reader reads Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns by John Green, it is evident that both books are extremely similar: not only do their protagonists have similar motives and traits, but also the concepts of travel and escape are noticeably similar between both books. These similarities show that John Green has trouble stepping out of his comfort zone and enjoys writing plots of the same sort of background. These similarities are shown just through the storylines of two books. Looking For Alaska is…

My classical virtues are fortitudes where courage and steadiness are well defined. My key phrase is “I make virtuous choices”.…

Robertson and Schulman say, "Ethical analysis must balance the mother 's interest in freedom and bodily integrity against the offspring 's interest in being born healthy.…

Cultural revisits state that “no particular moral or ethical position can actually be considered “right” or “wrong.” Ethical relativism states that …”whether an action is right or wrong depends on the moral norms of the society in which it is practiced”. I agree with ethical and cultural relativism because there is no right or wrong moral code because people and societies have different beliefs.…
To develop a statement about that incorporates all the aspects of my personal moral and ethical code I had to reflect back on my life, my decisions, actions and the manner in which I was raised. I have always know what I should do but now I can look back and label my choices and understand why I made the decisions I did.

Everyone believes their desire is for the greater good and the right choice because they are selfish, these theories go hand in hand and dictate many of the actions of people in this world as well as the cravings we strive to rise above.…
