First, animals do suffer and feel pain. Humans do have a moral compass when it comes to their beloved pets, especially cats and dogs. These special animals are put on pedestals, unlike any others. Pets are definitely animals that can suffer and feel pain. There are laws in place to halt cruelty to such animals, but this is where the line is drawn. Animal below said pedestal are in danger of being exploited by the highly dangerous humans. It is ridiculous to say these animals because they…
Macbeth could have succeeded the throne. King Duncan could have passed from old age, illness or even in a future battle. Macbeth is the one who concluded that he must commit treason and assassinate the king in cold blood. Macbeth’s corrupt moral compass and clouded judgment further develop the underlying tone of insanity, which he displays at the conclusion of the play. Macbeth’s ambition is the greatest cause for his actions, similar to Claudio’s naivety is the root for his own transgressions.…
Definition of Racism When I think of racism, I think American history; a history that began with slavery. Slavery can be easily identified as a racist enterprise, but in my opinion that relationship of superiority and ownership of another race is not the same racism that we know today. Also, in my opinion, racism can be characterized by fear and ignorance, which causes hatred and resentment. Racism (Article) From the article “Rascism”, Gisela Kaplan, takes me from my national outlook on…

Therefore, the “moral compass” of an individual is calibrated based on the expectation of consequences for that individual, rather than…
I appreciate your discussion on how speaking up versus waiting makes all the difference. In intelligent disobedience, I think that speaking up right away comes from deep inside and could even be referred to as our moral compass or conscience that does not let us stand aside. The longer we wait, the more stifled that voice becomes and over time that guide weakens and has the danger of giving up on us altogether. Like Chris pointed out in his post of a person sounding unsure or joking when trying…
After reading Ch. 1 of Polka and Litchka, my initial reaction was, “Why would anyone want that job?” The superintendent is put in a very tenuous position between a desire to help the district succeed by maintaining reasonable costs, promoting an environment where students are safe and have a desire to succeed and meanwhile, maintain your integrity. According to the text, Leyman (1993) defines mobbing as “social interaction through which a person is attacked by one or more (usually more than…

I remember when I was younger traveling to the city, on the Staten Island Ferry with my farther every weekend ready for a fun filled adventure in Manhattan. I always…
Columbus uses a quadrant to find the North Star making sure the direction he is going is correct and using this his directions were pretty accurate to some degree. Also having an astrolabe to pinpoint the North star's exact location. The magnetic compass he uses is also known as the star that shows the way. Columbus’s mathematical calculation are off too.
