When you think of war, what images come to mind? Personally, I think of death, sadness, and mass destruction. With this picture in mind, it is easier to understand why people would need an outlet for their grief. In a period bookended by world wars and defined by hardship, writers expressed their frustrations through their work. Thus, modernism emerged, and Ernest Hemingway made a name for himself. Being a World War I veteran enabled him to tell raw, truthful stories that conveyed the struggles…

#1 Euthanasia should not be even a topic for argument to begin with because we all know That each human being in this world have their own rights. In other words, we are free with our choices, but we are also responsible for the consequences that follows. The Telegraph (2015) recently published an article about a French doctor who attempted to commit suicide after being found guilty of injecting a lethal chemical on a terminally ill patient.

Is it moral to sacrifice one’s life for the sake of saving another? Would it be moral to kill one individual to save the lives if maybe five people. To sacrifice or essentially kill a person to save another can be a task that is rather difficult or immoral for most. It brings up the question of morality of a human being. Most human beings find killing another human to be immoral. It is not in human nature to take another person’s life. Even though this may be true, Judith Travis Thomson brings…
When thinking about this topic and how to address it I first began to really try and understand the meaning of macabre. The official definition is “disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury” and its implication can be clearly seen in the images we have viewed in class. The whole idea of the macabre is thought to have come from a dark time in history and represents more than simply grisly images. The artwork I decided to truly focus on is Hans…
Shinigami’s, or gods of death, are supernatural spirits that invite humans toward death. The gods of death appear throughout the Japanese religion, in many different forms and names. For example, Izanami and Mrtyu-mara appear to make humans want to die, and they give them death ("Shinigami"). In the series Death Note, there are multiple Shinigami’s portrayed as giving humans the ability to die. Death Note 2015 is a well-known television series directed by Ryuichi Inomata, based on the manga…
I discovered most people asking the question of Judas’ afterlife struggle with lives as lived by loved ones or with their own undesirable challenges. How are you to respond to persons concerned with the aftermath of living? We are going to die just as sure as we live. Do we just live, so as to eat and drink and be merry… shouting: “To hell with the rest of the world, I am going to have it my way, baby!” Some have attempted to answer the question based on logic. Others answer the heaven or hell…
assessed by reference to its viability, general accommodation, straightforwardness and numerous different components, and in addition by reference to the requests of Justice and ethical quality. If two people disputing about the morality of euthanasia were to agree to accept the verdict of a third party, any finality so obtained would be illusory. For even after judgment was given either party could still question the moral correctness of the “judge’s” verdict. Moral disputes, unlike…
“Remembering is an ethical act…” “Remembering is an ethical act, has ethical value in and of itself. Memory is, achingly, the only relation we can have with the dead. So the belief that remembering is an ethical act is deep in our natures as humans, who know we are going to die, and who mourn those who in the normal course of things die before us—grandparents, parents, teachers, and older friends. Heartlessness and amnesia seem to go together” (Sontag, 2003, 115). Apparently Susan Sontag has…
Death: the feared five-letter word. Everyone is unsure of what is after scares many. Some believe in an afterlife, just to have some peace of mind. What is indisputable by any is that death is inevitable. Both Dillard and Woolf recognize death as a part of life, but what separates them, is their perception of death. Dillard describes death as something beautiful. She describes it with almost admiration. To Dillard, death is not fatal. And with her use of several different symbols, she gets her…
