Everyone has a worldview which emerges from our environment and the people around us. God and ethics are the two determinants of my worldview, and they have shaped me to be what I am today. I was born and raised in a Christian family. My father was a Catechist and makes sure we attend church and receive the Holy Communion every Sunday. My strong Catholic foundation has drawn me closer to God. Ethics deals with “right or wrong”. Human beings do not behave the same way and…

As Max Wever discussed in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, the protestant thought influenced economic matters through Calvinistic Protestantism. Calvinistic Protestantism is a theological belief system that had an immense “influence on the emergence and growth of capitalism as mode of economic organization” (Johnstone 210). Weber’s goal was to illustrate the relationship between religion and economics as well as the “how religion, as embodied in Calvinism, affected the economy,…

especially the reality, knowing, God, humanity, and ethics of that individual. How you answer the three questions also depends on the “door” that you enter from when looking for the answer. The two big examples of a world view that we looked at in class were the Humanist Manifesto, and the book Why Should Anyone Believe in Anything at All. The manifesto enters through the humanity door and implies all humans are morally good in nature, and things like religion and processions make us the way we…

Philosophical Ethics is the branch that deals with what is the proper course of action for a person to take. It is the study between what is wrong and what is right and answers numerous questions we constantly ask ourselves, “What do I do?” or “What is the best option?”. It is being concerned with how people should act and the search for “good” conduct. Philosophical bioethics is different from law, professional codes, etiquette or manners, and religious ethics in so many ways and can also share…

told me he was going to be a great interview. I really took this opportunity to not only learn about a different religion, but to learn about a person as well. I do not consider myself a bad person just because I am not “religious”. I just have not dedicated the time to learn what religion suits my beliefs. In doing this project I intend to hopefully gather some insight on how religions influence people. Prior to this project all I knew about “Joe” was I could not stand the man. He is rude, a…

surroundings. The essence of philosophy is to learn from different people outside our community; look into the different religions and cultures believe each community share; are they similar? Are they different? Question whether or not their religion as an impact on their decisions. Every individual makes at least one ethical decision a day. Ethics does not only deal with religions and culture, but also with philosophical, law, professional codes, and manners. Each of these subjects…

People have used their religious beliefs as the foundation for their ethical views (Chapman, n.d). Moreover, religion has been used to fuel political views as well. The challenge resides with the purpose. If using religion is to absolve a person from being accountable for his or her decision, then religion is problematic. In other words, if the person makes the wrong decision, God will judge him or her. How would a person that is not religious or believe…

Knowledge is what we know and in order to explain the behavior of knowledge it is through accuracy and simplicity, that knowledge becomes known to oneself and collectively. In terms of simplicity, Occam 's Razor is the scientific and philosophic explanation for keeping information in its simplest form. On the other hand, accuracy allows for all information to be handled collectively, to find the appropriate justification that will keep the integrity of what is known to keep it precise. Then…
