Distinction

After reading about John Locke’s empiricism, I think that he is right about the tabula rasa. Locke believed that human beings were born with a blank state mind, just like a blank white piece of paper that has no words or ideas to it. He stated that everybody enters the world with no previous knowledge nor understanding about anything, and the only way to gain knowledge and furnish our brain is through experience. Locke claims that in order to come up with conclusions and grasp an understanding…

The article that I am writing about is called “Active and Passive Euthanasia” by James Rachels. The author discusses the distinction between active and passive euthanasia in relation to moral issues. Rachels identifies “conventional doctrine” and that there is an important moral difference between the two that the doctrine allows passive euthanasia but does not allow active euthanasia.

Imagine having to give a presentation in class on a topic that is completely new to you. Your research consists only of typing the topic into Google and copying down the definition that pops up, and that is it.

The distinction between killing or active euthanasia and letting die or passive euthanasia lies in the intentions. Active euthanasia is when you take steps to intentionally end a…

specific distinctions between the two. Jack S. Levy, in Too Important to Leave to Others: History and Political Science in the Study of International Relations, argues that history “Explains the connections between a series of events” while political science shows the “Relationships between variables or classes of events (32)," and that both optimize the use of theory to suit their distinct differences.

Essentially, he makes a distinction between people who work in a munitions factory and people who are providing the soldiers with food. While Waltzer draws the line there, he believes more provisions apply. He states that the people who belong to the class of individuals providing…

god based off of culture because war was a part of the Grecian culture. Whereas Aphrodite was a goddess based from mood and personalities because beauty, love, and lust was apart of the mortals mood and personality. Greek gods don’t have much distinction from mortals, except for their larger size. In Egyptian mythology their gods are also polytheistic.
