Who should make the decision that will allow a terminally ill person to die a painless dignified death, or should they have to continue to suffer until nature takes it course? Assisted suicide, the debate weather it’s morally right to assist someone to their death, while on their death bed, or to continue to administrate pain management until it’s their natural time to go. As of 2015, at least 18 states legislatures and District of Columbia are considering whether to allow physician-assisted…
According to Czeslaw, “In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of sounds like a pistol shot”. Many time in our life we get ourselves basically venting our emotions about something. We worry about something going wrong. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (2011) a whistle-blower is, one who uncovers wrongdoing inside of an association to the public or to those in positions of power. Whistle-blowers are not…

In reality, a majority of leadership positions do not involve one almighty person dictating the actions of others; rather, these positions involve someone modeling the way and guiding their peers through a process. By guiding rather than dictating, a leader expands the knowledge of everyone in a group, and empowers followers to take pride in the work they do. True leadership is the process in which one grows…
The cultural, physical, geographical surroundings of Hell shape and affect Dante Allegri and his psychological and moral trails as a person. From the moment Dante had stepped into Hell he had changed as our surroundings can change who we are. Dante was changed morally and righteously after he had witnessed Hell and what would come for him soon.

“They know no other way to protect themselves against their bad conscience than to prose as the executors of more ancient or higher commands (of ancestors, the constitution, of right, the laws, or even of God).” (pg. 111) Those who command and are independent from the herd run into the problem of also lacking like the herd and they secretly suffer from this. They would try to cover this up by protecting themselves from their bad consciences and suffering. They will try to trick themselves that…
I will end by summarizing each mentioned element of Deontology and Consequentialism explaining further the morality of this issue closing with Kantianism that fully supports this argument. To begin, the Ends-in-Themselves and Universal Law imperatives of Deontology, when applied, go hand-in-hand and are almost self-explanatory. First, The Ends-in-Themselves imperative…
considered as the reference or guide in the battlefield. In this way, The Art of War is undeniably a successful battle book, and Sun Tzu a talented strategist. Yet, it defines morality quite descriptively: it only regulates morality with a series of specific code, as it then lacks a normative sense of morality. Without this sense of morality, there will be an increase in possibility of having wars and it will make people, especially soldiers, lack in pathos. Both of scenarios would be…
