Priestley's Views On Social Responsibility

Decent Essays
"We are members of one body, we are responsible for each other" This is a sentence taken from the Inspector's last speech. I feel that it sums up the inspectors and Priestley’s views on social responsibility. I feel that this was in a way Priestley’s voice of opinion after experiencing the First World War, and ultimately learning that everyone’s in it together and that everyone helps everyone through. In this play it points out the need for a sense of personal responsibility in every member of society; responsibility not only for individual actions, but also for the way actions affect others. It seems as if the inspector is a mouth piece for Priestley and his views

    The play an ‘inspector calls’ divulges the truth and teaches the moral message about responsibility, warning the consequences if the message is not heeded. As the play was set before the First World War, it enabled priestly to refer to class division and social hierarchy through the characters and to the audience. Priestly portrays the attitudes of the characters and how family is presented in upper class throughout the play. The eccentric, Mr Birling a pretentious factory owner worries about his reputation being tarnished, which indicates he believes family is less significant to him. Each member of the household receives a different attitude to responsibility in the play.…

    Tom Morris does a great job of explaining the different challenges of ethics we face on a daily basis. We as a society go through life with so many obstacles to overcome, and yet society has shown us that most of the time the obstacles dictate the outcome. We read Tom’s book which gives us so many categories to help us better understand the ethical actions people take during certain situations. The first part of this chapter starts us off with the title, what are the rules now, anyway? As we read this statement alone it relates to society in such a big way.…

    At the beginning of the play the Inspector turns up unexpectedly, interrupting the discussion between Mr Birling, Eric and Gerald about how everyone must only look after themselves, ‘a man has to make his own way – has to look after himself’. The timing of when the Inspector enters is very peculiar because the Inspector talks about Eva Smith and how everyone in the family is linked to the suicide which counterattacks what Mr Birling had said a few moments ago. The Inspector shows his view to Mr Birling’s little speech at the end when he gives his final speech, before he leaves, where he says, ‘We don’t live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other.’…

    The Preliminary Ethic Survey is a thought-provoking way to discover a person’s views regarding a moral question. As I am taking the survey, I had to briefly stop and deliberate some of the questions. The way I answered the questions was to consider all scenarios involved in the question before finalizing my answer. I must admit that some question was particularly difficult to answer because it requires a higher level of reasoning. It appears that certain questions could be interpreted dissimilar ways by different people.…

    The origin of the Samaritans is much debated due to elapsed time and their division from the Jews. The Jewish believe that the Samaritans were “descendants of the colonists whom Shalmaneser, King of Assyria, is said to have brought from Cutha, Babylon, Hamath, and other foreign parts after he conquered Samaria in 722 BC . . .” (The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible p191) However, the Samaritans disagree with this and claim to be descendants of the native Israelites. Historically, after Samaria collapsed in 722, the population was made up of remaining native Israelites and foreign colonists.…

    It’s interesting how any two parents, having their child's best interests in mind, will often disagree on exactly the cause to pursue and how to do this. Throughout the 17th century, in and around the newly formed Massachusetts Bay Colony, both John Eliot and Roger Williams performed many civic duties but, like parents, they dedicated themselves to different causes and used different means to pursuing them. In addition, both Eliot and Williams believed civic duty, being the duties or obligations a person has toward their society, was required to achieve their causes. Although Eliot and Williams seemed to have almost views about what their civic duty was, they both performed many deeds for this duty. John Eliot and Roger Williams both viewed…

    Final Exam 1. In “A Critique of Utilitarianism”, Bernard Williams argues against the fundamental characteristics of utilitarianism and believes that the notion of ends justifying the means are a way of representing the doctrine of negative responsibility which can lead to consequences from the choices we make/do not make (663). As a result, we are all responsible for the consequences that we fail to prevent as well as the ones we brought upon ourselves. That is, in each case the choice on whether an action is right is determined by its consequences (661). Williams gives the example of killing one villager to save 19 others (664) in which he critiques the different principles of utilitarianism and integrity - the moral righteousness that is…

A utilitarian would argue slavery is wrong because it is the action that causes the most amount of suffering and the greatest overall amount of dissatisfaction. Viewing slavery as a whole means that a person is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them. Subjectivism states that whether slavery is right or wrong is only dependent of a culture’s viewpoint.…

    Peter Singer, an Australian moral philosopher, argued that individuals are morally obligated to help the poor. He states that “if it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it” (Singer 1). This means that we should donate as much of our resources, whether it be time, money, etc., as possible to those less fortunate without causing oneself to be in the same situation as those you are trying to help. You do not want to donate too much of your money to the extent where you cannot afford to support yourself and those dependent on you.…

    Pulling from both sides of the discussion, Terence Eagleton in his book Shakespeare and Society: Critical Students in Shakespearean Drama emphasizes a balance, a fusion of two views, personal spontaneity and social responsibility. This discussion comes down to what people consider when they make choices, the near term and their needs and wants or what is best for or required by society, respectively, the later is generally pro-institution. Although there are two sides of the discussion, Eagleton focuses on the views of the proponents for personal spontaneity. He analyses their arguments and finds the strengths, in adapting social institutions and weaknesses, in proposing paradoxes. He also looks at MacBeth by William Shakespeare and finds the hazards of personal spontaneity, exemplified by the repercussions of MacBeth’s…
