Doubles

The article I found talked about Vaccines becoming a double standard. A double standard is defined as “a rule or principle that is unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups”. The article discusses how modern medicine can impact even the littlest and youngest children to help them have a happy and healthy life. The article brings up a part of and explains how parents can neglect their children from the medical vaccinations needed to provide a good and healthy life. Some…

The book I read for my Biology book report was, The Double Helix, A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA an autobiography written by James D. Watson. It was released in 1968 and was published by Atheneum Press (US), Weidenfeld & Nicolson (UK) and is 226 pages. As the title suggests, the book is Dr. Watson’s personal account of the groundbreaking discovery of the structure of DNA. Biologists already knew that genes were the material responsible for traits getting passed from…

There arise two problems when discussing the doctrine of double effect, the first being the close connection theory, and the second being choice description relativity. First, we’d discuss the choice description relativity. The idea behind choice description relativity is that you can explain the harm away to make it foreseen and unintended. In both CC and HC, the doctor intends to have the fetus and mother survive, and if given the chance to save both, it is expected they would. By stating this…

How can individual conflicts be related to a societal conflict? Often in literature the use of double entendre adds to the depth and meaning of the work. William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” is no different as his use of disease and macabre allows an audience to draw conclusions about Denmark and the corruption that is tearing the state apart. Shakespeare intertwines these minute details precariously throughout the progression of the play, which ultimately portrays a picture of the wrong doings that…

Double standard: a set of principles that applies differently and usually more rigorously to one group of people or circumstances than to another. In a recent article, Author Anais Hussung, boldly stated the immigration policies of Israel to be racist and xenophobic. Hussung presses on to claim that these policies are the very thing that undermines democracy in Israel. Looking at the immigration policies in most of the developed world you will find that this statement clearly shows the double…

However, we mustn't forget the principle of double effect. It is wrong to kill, but is it wrong to give someone pain relief if a secondary effect is that they die? Once someone accept that death is merely a by-product of another action, he is asking a very different question. Asking 'Is death a proportionate outcome?' This brings in a utilitarian type of consideration, which we would not expect from Natural Law. In other words, while Natural Law clearly doesn't support active euthanasia, it may…

technique that is originally used by Dickens in all his works characterizing thereby his style as outstanding. No one could ascertain that Dostoyevsky learnt or was directly influenced by this eminent British novelist. This was noticed in his The Double (1846) which protagonist is portrayed as a madman, the same madman from Gogol’s Diary of a Madman (1835). The technique of externalization of manuscript readable from another angle; “Dostoyevsky replays the slide into insanity, before any…

the protagonist; or they could be a secondary character, who helps to give the reader details about the plot or leading characters. Characters not only help to deliver the plot of the novel, but also help to bring out the theme of a novel. The novel Double Indemnity by James N. Cain follows the life of an insurance salesman named…

subjects such as depression, double standards, and societal expectations, at length and candidly. Drawing from her own life and battles with depression, Plath herself went through some of the more invasive procedures as described in the novel. For Esther Greenwood, the therapy “took hold of [her] and shook [her] like the end of the world,” and ultimately did not relieve her distress (143). As a new wave of feminism was encroaching, Plath took this opportunity to discuss double standards and…
