This paper is investigating animal welfare and cosmetology from a moral philosophical framework. Cosmetic experiments on animals are not performed strictly for medial purposes, nor do they fulfill human or ecological needs. Although there are alternatives in place, the cosmetic industry’s primary goal is to maximize profit for the greater good of shareholders. Large corporations are best thought of as mechanical entities and machines for making money. Humans use utilitarianism to justify or…
receive the right to vote. Despite this progress, Indigenous Australians are still more disadvantaged than non-indigenous Australians, so much that they are sometimes called ‘fourth world people’. They experience significant disadvantages in a range of social aspects that reflect generations of neglect by the government (Aberdeen, Carter, Grogan & Hollinsworth, 2013). But not only the government sees the Indigenous Australians as subordinates, casual racism – or everyday racism – is very…
This quote reveals the mindset of Gilead and how they are being projected onto people of weaker class because they are easily manipulated, since they don't have the power to speak up. In this scene they depend on the bible to integrate their new social norms and dictate what is right from wrong. Furthermore, news is used as propaganda to fixate the idea of following the “right” religion (Atwood 79) by installing fear that those who differ and want to follow what they believe will be arrested. In…
is an opportunity for oppressors to systematically oppress marginalized groups by establishing discriminatory social structures and constructs. This is especially apparent in Hitler’s campaign against Jewish people shortly before WWII. He believed that the intermixing of Aryans and Jews would taint the blood of the Aryan lineage, eventually leading to the destruction of the human race. Anti-Jewish prejudice achieved a nationwide scale, such as the Nuremberg Laws, which forbade those of Jewish…

Even with the availability of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART), PLWHA still used spirituality as a succor to psychological and emotional distress.

surrounding youth and welfare Social policies to alleviate problems are always approached from a certain perspective. When tackling the ‘issue’ of welfare dependency, Paula Bennett (2012, n.p) takes a neo-liberal standpoint. Essential assumptions for her framing of the issue include individuals as free agents lacking a work ethic, which the Social Security bill hopes to combat. However, this is a limited portrayal of the issue. Alternate views such as those of feminists and anti-racists can…

There are also more indirect costs to a business such as hiring and training of new employees when someone resigns because of bullying (perceived or actual).11 The…
As a social worker, I have never analyzed or interrogated my approach, even though I have always criticized society and its institutions, as my perceptions and world conceptions emerge from a country historically marked by violence, particularly for a long war, commanded by an armed group. This communist group started its combat due to social inequalities and social structures, inspired by socialism. Since then, Colombia has experienced a prolonged conflict, and social workers have been dealing…
