Professional ethics constitute a set of rules and behaviors which facilitate effective interaction on professional point of view. With respect to this, ethical rules are very much like laws which govern social interactions. Of course, ethical rules do not have the magnitude of the law. The disciplinary actions against unethical behavior are much less formal. Unethical behavior can lead to the loss of someone’s reputation for professional conduct. Ethics generally governs people or parties…

According to Althusser (1969), “ideology has no history”. When he explaining this claim, he uses two theses. One of them is that ideology like a dream, and the second one is that “ideology has no history of its own” (p. 2). Therefore, in the second one ideology may include history within itself but it does not have history. Moreover, he uses to Freud’s phrase “ideology is eternal exactly like the unconscious” (p. 3).

History books state the first story written was the “Epic of Gilgamesh” and the first book printed was the Gutenberg Bible. An interesting fact, one came before Christ and the other after, but both have roots in religion and contain stories about death and dying.

Emily Dickinson, in her poem “479”, boldly states, “Because I could not stop for Death” (1206) but…

In the second chapter of Groundwork For the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant aims to move from the popular moral philosophy in order to establish a metaphysics of morals. Kant 's main opponents in this chapter are the philosophers of self-love. These philosophers argue that everyone is motivated by their rational self-interest. This viewpoint is dangerous to Kant; both supposedly moral acts and immoral acts come from the same source and are therefore indistinguishable. This viewpoint is also…

Immanuel Kant is most notably known as the man whose ideas on morality have greatly shaped the landscape of Ethics. Perhaps most important is his concept of rational humans having inherent dignity, but is this philosophy still true today and if so is it still relevant in a society that has so many more facets in a world far more complex than the time he lived.

ETHICS ESSAY Asch’s conformity experiment displayed greater ethical standards than Elliott’s blue-eye, brown-eye case study. Ethics outlines the ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ in the conduction of a social experiment, implementing practices that all psychologists must follow (Smith 2003).
