Cartman pretending to be Christian because he wanted to have a platinum album and become rich was extremely unethical. He became greedy so he found an easy way out. He wanted money and did not care what genre of music he played. He used the Christian hard rock following to his advantage because he lied to them by telling them his lyrics came from his heart. He also used them in order to get them to buy his CDs and listen to his music because he lied to them. It was immoral because he used their trust and lied to them in order to become a popular artist. The boys throughout the entire episode make fun of people’s religions. This is unethical because they are making people feel bad about what they believe.

Abelard’s first aspect of philosophy is that virtue is not acting upon evil desires. Abelard is saying that people may have evil thoughts, but if do not act upon them then they are virtuous. Abelard teaches that if you do not act upon the evil desires, then the evil desire will go away. Cartman has evil thoughts about Token’s skin color, but unlike Abelard, he acts upon them. He acts upon them by calling him names and using racial stereotypes against him while starting the band. Since Cartman acts upon these desires, he would be seen as evil and unjust in the teaching of Abelard. (Blaser, Abelard & …show more content…
He said that no sane person who understood what it meant to be virtuous would commit an unvirtuous act. He thought that someone would choose to do the right thing over the wrong one. If they committed the wrong act while knowing it was unvirtuous then they were insane. If they committed the wrong act while being unware that is was unvirtuous then they were ignorant. Socrates would say that Kenny, Kyle, and Eric were ignorant. He would say this because they illegally downloaded the music which is an unvirtuous act. He would not call them insane though because they were not aware that it was illegal at the time. (Blaser, Socrates

    Greed In Washington Irving's The Devil And Tom Walker

    In literature, countless authors touch on a particular recurring cycle in humanity: people’s susceptibility to greed in life, and the search for reclamation after the consequences. Many works of literature express how greed recurs as a deeply rooted trait in humans. Washington Irving’s, “The Devil and Tom Walker” makes a quite controversial statement for its time on this theme. All through the beginning, Irving reiterates that Tom is a strong and “fearless” hardworking man who lives a meager life.…

    Evil is a theme also contrasted in the story. Rufus constantly says that he is evil, and Sheppard in his innocence tries to help him, tries desperately to rearrange Rufus’s thoughts and help him fall back into the path of righteousness. Sheppard means good, but his thought of extreme reasoning and science takes him to an extreme where even he becomes selfish. On the other hand, Rufus, being a very smart human being, rejects all reasoning and strongly believes in the idea of a higher God, who saves and loves. Sheppard refuses to believe in the existence of a higher power, and he says that the Bible is something to hide behind and exists for people who are afraid of living their lives by themselves and of standing alone for…

The main cause of his change is his absolutism about good and evil.

    The Devil And Tom Walker Analysis

    Despite his fervent attempts at piety, Walker continues to allow his avarice control his life, and when Old Scratch finally comes for him, his facade of spirituality cannot save him from the deal he has struck (Irving, p. 9-10). In the end, all that is left of Walker’s wealth is a few “cinders,” “chips and shavings” (Irving, p. 10). The disparity between these resolutions is perspicuous; Jabez Stone and Daniel Webster emerge victorious from their battle for Stone’s soul, while Tom Walker is doomed to the eternity for which he bargained. In conclusion, Stephen Benét’s story “The Devil and Daniel Webster” and Washington Irving’s tale “The Devil and Tom Walker” are adaptations of the Faust legend which contain important differences in their treatment of the devil, religion and saving grace, and…

    Stereotypes In Little Big Man

    Little Big Man challenges typical American narratives of history through the inclusion of numerous Natives American characters with multidimensional roles in order to help promote the idea that they were merely the victims by European settlers during the colonial days, the real “savages.” The film’s main character, a white man who plays plays the role of both a European settler and a disguised Native, helps expose the brutal realities of the frontier, by his own people against the Natives who take him in at a young age and treat him as one of their own, despite stereotypes that depict them as ‘uncivilized.” The film posits the Natives in a positive light despite their usual depiction as “savages,” the aggressors, and perpetrators of violence,…

    Socrates Virtue Should Not Be Taught

    In this paper I will argue that Socrates’s claim at 96c-d of the Meno that virtue cannot be taught because there are no teachers of virtue is not valid. Specifically, I will show Socrates reasoning and claim as to why there are no teachers of virtue, which means virtue cannot be taught. Then I will demonstrate why Socrates’s reasoning is false due to a missed detail in his argument. I conclude Socrates’s reasoning behind his arguments are mostly logical and sound, however he made the mistake of forgetting to mention an important detail that is detrimental to his argument. Socrates claims that virtue cannot be taught because there are no teachers of virtue at 96c-d due to various leaps of logic and reason.…

    Racial Stereotypes In Hollywood

    Still, it can be argued that stereotypes are derived from a sliver of truth, and should not be taken seriously. For example, when asked to comment if she believed she was perpetuating stereotypes of Asian-American women, actress Nancy Kwan of The World of Suzie Wong and Flower Drum Song “has stated that she was trying to enact roles to the best of her ability and that perhaps people are reading too much into these media images” (Mok, 1998). Furthermore, at University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication, Ji Hoon Park, Nadine Gabbadon, and Ariel Chernin performed a study aiming to understand the implications of racial stereotypes in comedy by analyzing audience reactions to a showing of Rush Hour 2 (2001). Their results showed…
