Aristotelian ethics

But this is a conflict between two men who had up to this time been the nearest and warmest friends, one a great general and the other his most trusted officer. There is plenty of evidence throughout the play that up to this time there had been the fullest confidence between the two, and both alike were looked upon as men of excellent ability and sterling character. Othello was known as a noble Moor and had attained the highest military position, and therefore must have had the fullest…

In this paper I argue that there is a shared responsibility throughout the affluent countries, in respecting the moral obligation to prevent starvation in other parts of the world. To not do your fair share, would be a serious moral wrong, and anything you do more than this will be morally praiseworthy. This position is contrary to Peter Singer (1978) opinion, who believes that there is not a fair share, but to live at marginal utility. To not do so, Singer (1978) believes would be immoral. I…

It is in mankind 's very nature to seek power, to seek authority. The concept of a power struggle is what drives many to go above and beyond expectations, sometimes injuring others in the process, all to further one 's own agenda. For one man, a shepherd named Gyges, power unexpectedly presented itself, and Gyges was faced with an internal crisis: succumb to temptation, use the power, and risk corruption, or turn down the amazing power and sink into an unremarkable life of constant struggling.…

In an article from May of 2013 it was written that Abercrombie & Fitch refused to make clothes for larger women. Initially reading this article I was appalled at the lack of ethics Abercrombie & Fitch portrayed as a company. By not carrying XL or XXL sizes they ostracized anyone slightly overweight. In addition to only carrying the select small sizes, the company stated that they chose to be exclusive and they absolutely did not want overweight people shopping in their store. This causes the…

dilemma as fairly and ethically as possible. Using ethical paradigms in my analysis of this issue is an effective tool for finding the most ethical solution. The ethic of profession takes into account what the profession expects of its leaders and educators, as well as what the community expects as well. Analyzing this problem from the ethic of profession would clearly indicate that teachers must conduct themselves professionally and in a way that makes students feel safe. A comfortable and…

It is unclear in this case if the counselor obtained consent to share information with the father or the extent to which information was allowed to be shared. The client has the right to place limits of the amount of confidential information she wants shared with her father (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 2008). If consent was obtained, the counselor did not breach confidentiality by sharing information with the father, however, she acted unethically by not considering how this accusation could harm…

Back then, peoples social lives were very different from how it is now. As shown in the movie "Titanic" we could see how each class was seperated by which floor on the ship you were able to be on. The lowest class as in people who could just barley afford to get on the ship, stayed on the lowest floor of the ship. People of royalty stayed on the highest floor as they were seen to be of "most importance." What does being in a high or low class mean for you? Well, it limits you to who you can talk…

Rifkin says that philosophers and animal behaviorists have argued about the capability of self –awareness in other animals. While some argue that animals do not have self-awareness because “they lack a sense of individualism”, others beg to differ. A counter statement that Rifkin utilizes is the remarkable actions elephants do when they are faced with a dead kin. Elephants will “often stand next to their dead kin for days,” and occasionally touch “their bodies with their trunks. After…
