Strategy Outline The strategy I have chosen to investigate in order to grow Hobbitons Profit is adding a proffesional photo at a compulsory certain place during the Hobbiton tour.

At the end of your Hobbiton tour when you reach the pub, you will be given your photo when you receive your complimentary drink. The photo will…

representing many different attitudes towards morality. Given these circumstances, I witnessed from a young age a spectrum of moral values. In a single day I could witness my best friend be beaten for lying, my mother sew a coat for our elderly neighbor, and have my bike stolen from the front yard. Basically, I was afforded an opportunity to gather and build moral values from an extensive environment. I also had the luxury to come home and place these experiences within the context of my own…

Immanuel Kant is most notably known as the man whose ideas on morality have greatly shaped the landscape of Ethics. Perhaps most important is his concept of rational humans having inherent dignity, but is this philosophy still true today and if so is it still relevant in a society that has so many more facets in a world far more complex than the time he lived. By introducing and explaining Kant’s concept of inherent dignity and showing how some people or groups of people have been at the both a…

Consequentialist ethical theories maintain that consequences are the basis of moral evaluation. In other words, our decisions are considered either right or wrong due to their consequences (Shaw, 5). Followers of consequentialism support this premise by adhering to four essential principles. First, consequentialists abstain from disclosing on what is considered to be ‘morally valuable’. Agents of consequentialism never reference a moral framework which prescribes proper deeds, instead, they…

“The only way you can tell whether an intention would be good is by looking at whether performing the corresponding deed would be good, in which case the appeal to intentions isn 't really necessary.” This argument made by Peter Abelard is a bit confusing because, it begs the question, “how can a deed be named good or bad if the intention isn’t necessary? While attempting to answer this question, I became conflicted by many of my own moral and ethical ideals. Often I found myself questioning if…

Jordan Curnutt claims that utilitarian based arguments to defend vegetarianism are inadequate. He presents his own argument, NEW, for vegetarianism and exposes flaws in various attempts to override the prima facie duty of not harming animals. Utilitarian arguments can both favor and oppose vegetarianism. Several philosophers have insisted that utilitarian based arguments require that people eat meat because it improves the economy, helps people who work in the meat industry, and because people…

to prevent bad things from happening that would not result in a loss of something of equal moral value. Singer claims that should a person agree that one is morally obligated to save a drowning child with the cost of dirtying their clothes, they therefore must also agree to donate their surplus of money until they themselves are in poverty, because doing so would not risk anything of equal moral value. Contrary to Singer’s argument, one might still be able to agree with his main moral principle…

In ethics, consequentialist theory defines as “the moral rightness and wrongness of action as a function of their result. If the consequences are good; the action is right, if they are bad, then the action is wrong.” There are two types of consequentialist theories. Egoism which views morality ultimately rests on self-interest. While “utilitarianism is the moral doctrine that people should always act to produce the greatest possible balance of good over bad for everyone affected by our actions…

Righteous. What does it mean to be righteous? The definition of righteous is to be morally right or justifiable, but is that the only definition? How do we know if someone has the quality of righteousness? It all depends on one’s opinion of what they believe is righteous through their own morals and beliefs. Bilbo demonstrates righteousness on multiple occasions through the book. He takes some reasonable and just actions at times and there are other moments where you could question his…

The Frege-Geach embedding problem is a problem that challenges expressivism, asking how it could be that moral and descriptive terms have the same semantic properties in complex sentences, but have different meanings. Expressivist theories of moral discourse deny that moral judgments express truth-apt propositions that describe states of affairs in the natural world. Instead, expressivists claim that moral judgments are taken to express non-truth-apt, or non-cognitive, attitudes of approval or…
