As stated before, there are counter arguments towards the effectiveness of treatment for psychopaths. One belief as to why treatment does not work for psychopaths is stated by the authors of this study, Harris and Rice (Harris & Rice, 2006). “They believe that the reason for their findings is that psychopaths are fundamentally different from other offenders and that there is nothing ‘wrong’ with them in the manner of a deficit or impairment that therapy can ‘fix’. Instead, they exhibit an…

In 1997 Adrian Raine conducted a study that focused on brain abnormalities in murderers that were shown by the use of positron emission tomography (PET). “The aim of his experiment was to see if murderers who pleaded not guilty by the reason of insanity (NGRI) showed signs of brain abnormalities with PET scans. Raine used 41 participants, 39 of which were male and 2 of which were females. The prisoner’s reasons for insanity varied. Six said they were schizophrenic, 23 said it was due to a head…

Hare and Parfit both argue about the rights that possible people have or do not have. Possible people are people that will exist if people follow a certain set of actions. For example, people who are not conceived yet would be considered possible people. It takes people to attempt to conceive the person. There is no guarantee that that person will be born. That is what causes the debate about if we can harm them and if they have rights. Hare argues that we can harm possible people by…

“Welcome to Chicago O’Hare airport” I took a deep breath and smelled the air, it was a different smell form Mexico, that was the first thing I did when I got off the plane, it was the first time I heard English after a year. I finally was home once again, the funny thing I remember doing this the opposite way, leaving to a whole new country, a whole new life for a child who’s only 11. I always look back on that day, all the little things, from packing my bags and walking into the plane. “Mom I…

f children, no matter what age, were to steal or harm someone, should the parents go to jail or be tried for it? This is a really interesting debate; most people argue that it is always the parent’s fault. Sure, children are a product of their environment; but this doesn’t always mean that the parents are to blame for what a child may do. Sometimes, children just do not have the ability to learn what is morally right and wrong. Sometimes, develop in such a way that the parents did all they can,…

Personal Statement “Welcome to O’Hare International Airport”, a phrase I would end up hearing on my way to work for the next year and a half. The fact that I work at the fourth largest Airport in the United States still gives me Goosebumps to this day. I felt anxious and excited to start my first actual job. I came across several challenges and obstacles, one having to deal with customer serve and meeting their upright demands. This experience brought me new found skills that I never knew I had…

God 's Call, by John E. Hare, is based on three lectures Hare gave at Calvin College in which he presents and defends his version of Divine Command Theory. The books is separated into three essays.

In the third he defends his theory, and compares it to his understanding of Kant 's theory of ethics. Hare argues that the history of moral philosophy is a story of compromise. There exist two…

In this essay, I will be contrasting the Resurrection Man from the ‘Mysteries of London’ with the real life bodysnatchers of Burke and Hare, two Irish men who carried out a series of murders over 10 months in Edinburgh in the 1820’s. Burke and Hare are probably the most famous of the real life bodysnatchers from the Victorian era. Like the Resurrection Man, the two used ‘burking’, the process of killing someone ’quietly or indirectly’ and in a manner so as to cause as little as possible visible…
