Human geography

Which is understandable, why would we, as the human species, talk about our own mortality. Most of us like to experience life in the now rather then think about the future and what will happen when our time runs out. Though as much as we do not like to talk about death at the same time we are fascinated with it. Humans really do seem fascinated with death at times. Along with this fascination there is also a fascination in the debate on whether or not humans have souls and if one day our soul…

In On the Genealogy of Morality, Friedrich Nietzsche argues against what he calls “bad conscience” (Nietzsche, 56), or the suppression of instinct. He believes that people should act according to their will to power, an aggressive drive which all humans possess. Restraining themselves from exercising this will to power only causes people to turn its violent demands inward and ultimately hurt themselves. In Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Immanuel Kant describes his concept of morality.…

Immediately after reading prompt D I thought about AMC’s The Walking Dead series. I specifically thought of a few episodes from season two when a group of survivors of the apocalypse find another group with land. The owner of the land is Hershel Greene; he has plenty of pasture, a barn, and a fairly large house. Living with Hershel is what is left of his family. One of the survivors from the traveling group named Glenn wanted to meet Hershel’s daughter Maggie up in the loft of the barn. Little…

While Pompey’s work lacks some of the variety a self-actualized person might require, she does challenge herself to work efficiently and construct her narrative when she free time. In addition, Sir Phoebus has awarded Pompey tremendous responsibility because of her expertise capabilities. She achieves this despite the limitations of the era and her understanding that she may not have the perfect job, but she does have the ability to find it satisfying. In showing her autonomy, Pompey reveals she…

The Ultra-Darwin (An analysis of Dawkins and how he amplified Darwin’s findings through research into multiple generations of the human race.) “Morals are morals and religion is religion and very often they do not go hand in hand. The history of the past 2,000 years is riddled with religious immorality and nonsense and people 's often desperate reaction to it” (Weedon). For years scientist have been trying to learn everything they can about how the world works. They trace their findings back…

different methods of life saving procedures and cure to some seemingly incurable diseases. Many different types of human cloning procedures could provide various benefits to society, such as birth help for infertile couples, conservation of endangered species and a reduction of hereditary genetic diseases and outweigh moral arguments against the cloning process. There are many ways that human cloning and stem cell research is expected to be beneficial to mankind. The benefits also include…

Humans are among the most intelligent species on the planet. In just the past 3,000 years we went from sticks and stones to touch screens and drones. With the usage of our intelligence and creativity we curated language and have been using it as a tool for communication. Trying to imagine a world without the use of language, any language, is an impossible task to accomplish. This may be because from the early phases of development we have used language as a means of communication. As a result of…

successful if, it is useful or beneficial to succeed in finding maximum happiness. The second part is consequentialism which is based on the consequences, the results or the outcomes. Utilitarian happiness is the main focus factor in which every single human being is investigated (happiness for a person). This…

around the world as there is no place on earth where sky cannot reach. The poet also portrays how the things sky sees down on earth, he passes it down to hills, orchards and daffodils. The poet represents the phenomenon of gossiping that happens among human beings in which a simple secret is passed on from one person to another and so on. Then the poet tells how a bird might over hear the sky gossiping with the hills, daffodils and the orchards and that the poet might be able to get that gossip…

It might as well be noticed that utilitarianism totally evades a problem that has snowed under numerous challenges to justify abortion from a more conservative moral outline. When is it occasionally allowable to kill? What 's the difference between a serial killer who murders their victims for pleasure or financial gain or homosexual? Where 's the separating line between this and murdering a fetus or an adult? We can apply consequentialism all over the place because all decisions have computable…
