Consensus

In The Quest for a Code of Professional Ethics: An Intellectual and Moral Confusion, John Ladd criticizes the existence of the professional code of ethics. I believe that the establishment for a code of professional ethics is just another set of unspoken rules; that exists only for the purpose of confining individuals from finding loopholes within their professional careers. In his criticism he deconstructs the idea of the professional code of ethics. While deconstructing the very existence of…

point of view of the world; this is also more relevant today especially with recent assassination attempt of an ex-KGB officer Sergei Skripal, with a military grade nerve-agent, and the mysterious death of another within months of each other. The consensus among the International Community (IC) the that perpetrator of the attempted assassination was Russia.

choosing who will represent us in our government in elections. This makes the vote valuable, because it has the power to make decisions and change outcomes. Although many will argue that Mandatory voting will provide a better representation of the Consensus, it will actually demote civic virtues and limit individual freedoms. Additionally forcing citizens to vote is unconstitutional. Americans enjoy freedom of speech which right allows us to say what we wish and make our opinion known which…

Last summer I was a participant in the Advanced Leader program at YMCA Geneva Park. It was a one month stay at the park where a group of us took part in activities and programs that were developed to improve our leadership skills. These programs ranged from group activities to job shadowing at the park with the existing councillors. I went into this program relatively under developed in the areas of leadership that seem to be most important, however through that experience i have become a more…

How one defines their own reality speaks loudly of a person’s character. People are always attempting to decipher the riddle of “illusion vs. reality”, but have never come to a consensus on the issue. These opposing ideas stem from the way we distinguish what is real and what is not, which all relies on our own self-perception. In William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet, the characters struggle with recognizing the deception that has managed to intertwine itself into their lives. The…

Everything seemed to be quite great for humans living on the beautiful island of Serenia. Beauty was a gift from God for all the “Serenians”, a tribe of peaceful beings. All was great until greed started to build up in many. Their greed caused them to desire more. They demanded luxurious huge homes built out of the finest wood on earth, from a tree they were forbidden to touch by God. None though had the courage to touch the tree until one dreadful day. A man named Fisher did the impossible by…

health care system billions of dollars annually [15].

of light that is allowed into the sensors is called field of view. Field of view is applicable to English II because everything we analyze in regards to literature, art, or film is subjective to field of view. No full class can come to a complete consensus on the meaning behind a text or what an author’s intentions were when writing a play, so we have discussions. Shallow depth of field means a single object is in sharp focus, and everything thing not on the same depth level as it become…

is and is not moral, morality is a matter of an individual’s beliefs and values. Furthermore, ethics are the acting practices of moral principles, making them even more varied and complex to define. Because of these complexities there can be no consensus on what is morally just. To simplify the discussion, I will use a general definition which establishes moral justice as acting…

No one wants to be homeless. It is an unfortunate consequence that results from unique circumstances. Those suffering from homelessness must then trudge on and try to make the best of their situation. While being homeless, an individual can easily fall victim to a wide variety of diseases.
