ourselves. True good and true evil don’t actually exist. Every moral is just an extension of our brain. If we didn’t roam the earth the earth would not have these morals that we stand by today. We create our own morals through our personalities and cultures. Everything about ethics and morals can boil down to the context of the beholder.…

not build character. I partially agree to this statement; however, I believe that sport can build character when it is practiced in an environment that thrives on and teaches character and moral development. Then the athlete has an opportunity to become morally developed and gives them situations to test their moral maturity. Personally, without sports I do not think that I would be as well versed in working together with people that I might not like personally, dealing with criticism in a…

relativism explains how different people have varied means of expression, how they have contrasting morals, and it validates conflicting wants. In The Light Between Oceans R.L. Stedmen endorses the idea of relativism as opposed to universality. To begin, R.L. Stedman makes a case for the individuality of expression.…

convince his readers that when forming our beliefs in a certain way is of real ethical importance (Clifford, 2008). Moreover, Clifford expresses his belief that what we believe is not merely a private matter, but rather, a moral issue (Clifford, 2008). Furthermore, that it is a moral failure to form beliefs based on insufficient evidence (Clifford, 2008).

complementary concepts, one is the obligatory result of the other. Human beings engage in acts of moral code from one side and non-moral rules from the other side in social life. The basic questions of philosophy are, Is there a purpose of moral action? And Is man free in moral actions?. By the end of this essay, I`m hoping to show that human beings are responsible for their actions and also moral actions by proving how free-will and determinism works in this concept. As an independent…

In order to understand what is considered right and wrong, we must be able to understand ethics. Ethics are moral principles that govern an individual’s behavior, but also what a human should do in life when facing situations. In the article “Thinking Ethically” by Manual Velasquez et al, we are introduced to 4 different types of ethical approaches; Utilitarian, Rights, Fairness, and Common-Good Approach, in which we are able to analyze ethics for a more profound meaning. By grasping these…

An ethical standard refers to the rules or standards governing the conduct or moral values of a person from the definition given by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary. A mantra on the other hand as based on my understanding is a phrase or a sentence that you constantly repeat and say to yourself which reflects the person’s moral principles or beliefs. Personally, the number one mantra that I always remind myself was a saying by an author named John Geiger. He said, “The real measure of your wealth is…

Ethical relativism states that morality is based on what a society or culture believes is right. An ethical relativist believes that what is moral in one culture or country may not be moral in another if they have differing values. As such, one really can’t criticize how another culture or segment of society lives. There is not one moral code or standard that applies to all under this theory. In fact, the only criteria for deciding if an action are immoral or not are if the culture dictates it…

Define morals, values, and ethics. Although values, moral and ethics are often used interchangeably, these terms are not identical. According to Corey, Corey, Corey and Callanan (2015), values are beliefs and attitudes that gives directions to one’s everyday living, whereas morals deals with the issues of right versus wrong. Morals are also influenced based on the individual’s cultural context and or religious standards. Ethics are principles and standards we hold to constitute right conduct…
