What is morality? Morality is an abstract concept in which one perceives certain actions as right or wrong, mostly based on religion. However, these ethics vary among societies; in a country in which Islam is seen as the main religion and Sharia law is adapted, women can only have one husband while men are allowed to have up to four wives. This is a direct example that proves the natural law theory by explaining that a connection between law and morality exists. The natural law theory tries to…

The interwovenness of kindness in the book of Ruth is unparalleled in any other book of the TaNaKh (aside from the "hesed" or "chesed" of the LORD). Although it appears that Ruth's kindness results in positive rewards, which it certainly does, that is not what the Book of Ruth is about, though. Further, it would be faulty to attribute Ruth to being simply a story of a cause and effect relationship between kindness and positive things. Such as the cause being kindness with results in the effect…

The acknowledgement of social skills in this way leads us to think that social skills can indeed be learnt, usually through practice and experience but also taught.Lack of social…

The natural law is the concept of adherence to the soul, powers, habits, and emotions. Aquinas defines natural law as a habit, but when one examines his definition from a different commonplace, the habit will depend on situations, societal rules, beliefs, and norms. Aquinas (1999) expresses that natural laws are embedded in human beings which guide what one does and how it is done. We possess these laws habitually thereby adding that natural law is not an act (Aquinas, 1999, p. 33-34). Though…

Hypocrisy is rampant in human nature - we say one thing and do another; we believe one thing and renounce it with one event. This condition seems amplified in Dostoevsky’s Underground Man – a man of ‘high conscious’ and intellect. “To be overly conscious,” the Underground Man writes, “is a sickness, a real, thorough sickness” (Dostoevsky 2006, p.6). This extreme state of consciousness is the undoing for the Man; perhaps even the main cause of his paradoxical nature. The unreliability of the…

Have you ever wondered why is morality is a crucial element that we as a human being must have within ourselves? Ever since young, we are cultivated with morality and our parents have taught us to be a moral mankind, that we must always do the good things and do not do the bad things. When I was as a kid, I always perceived others as a moral person like I am regardless of their races, age, gender etc. However, as I grow and mature, I realise my perception towards others is not objective anymore,…

One of these men, Thomas Paine, based his belief’s with a slightly more scientifical approach. While on the other hand, John Winthrop’s belief’s were for the majority mostly more faith based. These men may have different views when it comes to religion, but they share one view that is exactly the same. Both Thomas Paine and…
