Lifeboat ethics

In the ethical case where you are faced with making a decision that could affect your entire life comes down to two things, integrity, and greed. Eric Gampel describes ethics as being “the investigation of matters of right and wrong, justice and injustice, good and bad, virtue and vice, rights and responsibilities.” People have been involved in ethical matters throughout their entire existence whether one believes it or not. In this situation, a CEO offers his employees in the standards and…

Founder Values James Lincoln was a man who believed in the “Christian ethic”. He did not preach, but he did build a company from the ground up. He completely separated business and religion, but believed in having good morals towards both. He believed in the idea of a quality product at a low cost.

Sixty-eight percent of the US population fear death (Statistic Brain). However, in order to stand up for themselves and what they believe in, individuals must not fear death.

I personally do not think it is far to criticize artists and the media for violent acts. One reason is that every person is responsible for their own action. Every law or rule created today has consequences based on peoples own actions weather the act is violent or not. How can you blame someone else when you run a red light? So then how can you blame the artist or media when you were the one who committed such a violent act? In this society we have been raised to take responsibility of our own…

There’s No Dichotomy Between Hester and A Farce In D.H. Lawrence’s, “On The Scarlet Letter,” it is made clear that he does not praise the character Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter.” To Lawrence, the portrayal of Hester Prynne is a mockery.

This method is effective because it allows the reader to focus on Hester Prynne’s sin itself rather than…

Although Capote appears to vehemently argue Perry’s undeniable purity, that is not the case, as his true focus is proving Perry is never at fault for his wrongdoings, therefore solidifying that certain circumstances can determine someone’s fate. Capote inserts a phrase and an idea, a parenthetical, in his writing in order to convey his point that no one can hide from destiny. He uses this parenthetical to lift the blame off of poor little Perry’s shoulders when he writes, ‘But I’m afraid of…

In Emerson's essay Self-Reliance, he argues that people trust their own intuitions instead of depending on society to dictate their lives.

People follow what they think is “popular” or that they think would be acceptable in general. According to Tastes, Castes and Culture: the Influence of Society on Preferences by Ernst Fehr and Karla Hoff,…
