Due to each one of these famous philosophers, we are somewhat able to understand why we have morals and ethics and what right from wrong truly is. Though, we will never know the full answer and truth, we can at…

In life morals are self defining laws, they tell us what is right and what is wrong. They indicate wether or not to go through with a thought or to let that thought drift away. Morals indicate wether or not that though in itself is even right. But what is right? We define right as the correct way of doing something, and is the correct way of being.

If I were teaching a course on ethics I would have a few goals. The first would be to teach my students how to use their ability to think critically. I would start with critical thinking because I do not believe that any of us can begin to understand existing ethical theories or really examine our existing ethical values without the ability to think critically about them. We need to be able to use reason, rather than emotion when studying ethics and without the knowledge of critical thinking…

He consciously ignored the essential acts of care and compassion while promoting a message of fear and hate. His teachings offered detailed instructions on the succession and maintenance of a fear-abiding society encapsulated by submission. His philosophy stated that the best interest of the general public was to irrefutably follow the rule of law.…

Morality, according to various theories, has the capability to be defined in multiple ways. For instance, De Waal claims morality is a direct outgrowth of social instincts we share with other animals (7). By direct outgrowth, he is actually implying morality is evolutionary-based. De Waal then goes on to make various claims such as the one that says the core of morality is emotion (18). Lets assume that this ramification is proven to be true. If so, then other theories of morality made by other…

subordinate, unsure of what might happen, refuses to question the act and is then responsible for a coworker losing his job. He may not have known the object of the action was something bad, but he was still responsible for trying to discern the morality of following this order, before making his own action.

Similarly, I believe Nietzsche aims to persuade the middle class to stray from traditional moral codes such…
