Incident Command System

Gensler: Divine Command Theory Gensler’s main argument for the Divine Command Theory is to argue the moral reasons for the existence of God. He gives the premises that everyone knows objective moral duties. Then comes the idea that if there are objective moral duties there has to be something that makes them moral law. For this the only answer that makes sense is God because it cannot be a person or other individuals in society since we do not have the authority to tell someone is they do…

Divine Command Theory is the belief that an action is morally good if and only if that action is commanded by God. This means that actions not directly commanded by God are wrong, such as murder, stealing, adultery, etc. The way this is worded is very similar to virtue theory, which states that an action is morally good if and only if the action is good for the person doing the action. Rather than basing the morality of a situation on whether it is just or pleasure-making for other people, it…

and therefore possible sources of knowledge. Identifying one source of knowledge becomes problematic. Finally, morality cannot depend on the commandments of God. If morality depended on the commandments of God, either morality is arbitrary or God’s command is irrelevant. After careful examination of the arguments supporting the view that religion is essential for morality, it is clear that morality can exist independently from…

Introduction The cyber domain is perhaps the most complex domain to define in modern warfare. Academic literature has secured cyber as both a domain and part of the global common. National laws, policies, and understanding of the cyber domain are just being to mature; thus, the strategy to guide and form the required organizations to support cyber is just being to develop. This paper will consider whether the current national cyber construct is sufficient to address the cyber domains unique…

Socrates during Plato’s Euthyphro. The question is seen to object the Divine Command Theory. Socrates asked, “is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?” or in other words, “Are morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they morally good because they are willed by God?” (Philosophy of Religion The Origin of the Euthyphro Dilemma). The Divine Command theorist faces problems that will not allow them to be able to…

Does morality depend on God? Is it God’s commands that make actions right or wrong? These arguments were originally inspired by the story of Euthyphro, written by Plato, where a dilemma, commonly known as Euthyphro’s dilemma, stems from the dialogue between the two main characters. It poses the question of whether an action is pious because it is loved by the Gods, or if it’s loved by the Gods because it is pious. As time went by, a modernized model of this argument came to life and from that, a…

Divine Command Theory is a normative theory that states we should follow the will of god. A similar variation to Euthyphro’s question to Socrates is; does god commands what is right because it is right, or God commands what is right? This question can be quite confusing, and can be difficult to explain which of the two corresponds with Divine Command Theory. After carefully analyzing both scenarios, it can be concluded that a Divine Command Theorist cannot choose one. Therefore, let’s examine…

Accidents are unfortunate events that provide a potential for improvement. The crash of Empire Flight 8284 was a minor aircraft accident that resulted in injuries and substantial damage to the aircraft and airport runway. The accident provided a learning experience for the NTSB. The NTSB had nine recommendations and notated four contributing factors to the investigation report. Poor decision making and a failure to monitor standard operating procedures is what ultimately lead to the crash of…

In chapter 7, Avoidance, Rendall, wants the reader to understand the importance of their weaknesses to discern and bring out the best their strengths. Rendall begins the chapter with an anecdote about the case of a peanut allergy on a plane and how the airline did not want any passengers on the plane to have peanuts with them. This anecdote introduces and illustrates the purpose of the chapter, in which the author is comparing our weaknesses to be like allergies and advises us to avoid our…

Most people who get into the airplane draw in their minds what will happen if the airplane crashed , what will cause the airplane to crash or what safety items this aircraft have in the case of any problem. “Aviation safety is a term encompassing the theory, investigation, and categorization of flight failures, and the prevention of such failures through regulation, education, and training.” (Aviation safety, 2015) If we search in the internet for the aviation safety hazards we will have…
