Morality Tale Essay

In this essay I plan to clearly summaries the philosophical arguments of Benedict - Morality Is Relative, Rachel - Morality Is Not Relative, Kant - The Moral Law, and Mill - Utilitarianism. All of these arguments contain different theories of human nature being swayed by laws and morality. I will categorize which arguments focus on the absolutist view, which holds that there is exactly one right answer to everything. As well as labeling which argument leaning to a more objective side, where all…

God’s moral commandments should be followed if one is attempting to live by a correct moral code. The argument can be made that following another individual’s moral commandments, even God, would make morality arbitrary and based off subjective opinion, however, this does not imply that certain subjective opinions are not better than ours. God is a higher being than us, this does not imply that he is an omniscient being and knows exactly what is right and what is wrong. What this does imply is…

certain things. Some justifications are based off of happiness, desires, god or morals. People who use happiness and desires as their justification use theories of the good. While those who use god and morals use theories of morality. Some theories that fall into the theories of morality are the divine command theory, consequentialism, and social contract theory. I will argue that act consequentialism is the most plausible moral theory because it better summarizes my thought process when making…

The Ethics on the Morality of Animal Research In this paper I will discuss the wrongness of animal testing based on the falsification of the biological account of moral status. All sentient creatures, no matter what their biology, matter morally. Animals used in research labs for testing are sentient, therefore they have moral status. In Cohen’s paper, he describes the testing of animals for human benefit to be morally permissible because they do not have human membership (Cohen, p. 94) However…

countries that allow them to prosper. Just by treating their employees as human beings, they can enhance the welfare of the communities they are in. An important issue in ethics is the concept of ethical relativism, the theory that describes that morality is relative to the norms of one 's culture,…

Adrift in an uncaring and meaningless universe, mankind only true solace is the radical freedom such an absurd existence provides. It is a shame that mankind chooses to use this freedom to construct silly epistemological arguments about morality as it relates to an outdated form of transportation, but human freedom has no limits but those we set upon ourselves. In that sense, the argument that the spelunkers on trial “had” to cannibalize one of their own in order to use their flesh to survive…

Benefits for a Moment Franklin Veaux states, “Fully grown consenting adults have the right to make sexual choices for themselves, including the choice of when and under what circumstances to have sex.” Prostitution lingers in every corner of this world, and many people believe that it is acceptable. However, Jesse Ventura says, “Prostitution is criminal, and bad things happen.” Even though prostitution grows bigger undercover, a handful of people do not fall in the patterns of the world. They…

What is a moral? A moral is the consideration between right and wrong and the goodness and badness of the human character. For more than two thousand years the question has been about the basis of morality. There are different ways to look at moral including the theory of Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism while it emphasizes the upside of life, it ignores the downsides of life. This way of decision making has a greater impact in life and morals than just the moral choices made in a Utilitarianism…

How should I make sense of morality in the world? Should I be stuck in a very rigid norm with very little actual decisions to be made, or should I have the flexibility to be able to make the moral, correct decision? Clearly, choosing the path that gives me the flexibility to make the correct decision is more favorable. This is where utilitarianism comes in, that is, the train of thought that the morally correct decision is the one that maximizes the happiness in the world and minimizes…

Managing ethical behavior is a difficult problem that all organizations face. Practicing ethical behavior should be a workplace standard that is expected of the organization and each team member. Ethics involves the moral principles that an organization uses during the decision-making process and it should be evaluated to ensure that the proper culture is being established. Those organizations that fail to create an ethical atmosphere produce a negative work environment that is destined for…
