Where this agreement usually ends however, is on the question of whether a person should have the right to end their own life based on their own sufferings while others maintains that children should also be given this right. My own view is that euthanasia should be allowed for any stage of sufferers, but not by involuntary death without your consent. Under certain circumstances certain individuals do believe that euthanasia is a form of suicide, and does not help the individuals. Many people…

One reason to accept this idea is that without it disagreements about what is right and wrong would make no sense because it would just be based on opinion instead of universal things. Lewis points out that we practice universal moral standard all the time without even knowing it. If someone cuts in line at a CBC lunch, quickly someone will complain “that 's not fair." When the murderers…

Teenagers in America live in a double standard. Teenagers live under laws and contribute to our country, yet they aren't given the right to vote. Teenagers do almost ask the same things as adults and don't have the power to decide what happens on this country. 16 and 17 year olds should have the right to vote because they are informed about issues, work and pay taxes, and their are many benefits to lowering the voting age. Teenagers are informed about issues. Saying teenagers are dumb and they…

country where everything is allowed, a country that promises rights, but it seems as if the country's government is taking over control and taking away those rights of ours. It seems as if in today's society the U.S. government is taking over more and more, and even taking away things from us. This country doesn't really feel like a free country at all sometimes. America’s government is very corrupt, they loathe in money, they take away our rights that were promised to us, and they don't care…

has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws” (MLK, 191-193). The world is not perfect, it is flawed and has many things that need to be changed, including the unjust laws that are inflicted onto society. If no one makes a stand for these issues that “[are] out of harmony with the moral law”, things will not go anywhere, and the world will stay where it is.

Glaucon says that people behave justly because we have a fear of punishment from our justice systems. If you were to think about committing a crime such as murder, any sane person would stop and think about how it would…
