Objection

I called Will on 05/16/17 and went over everything. I explained to him based on the doctors reports I would file an objection to the Proposed Decision and we would argue this treatment was related whether or not we are going to amend the case. I do not think we need to do that since this seems to be referred pain. This would seem to be more of the nature of a consequential…

The main objection for utilitarianism is the fourth objection, the problem of sheer numbers that it seems possible that the calculation will tell you that doing X is right even though we know that doing X is wrong. In the ramification of it violating our common sense of morality. For Kant 's deontological theory there are four objections but one of them stands out to me. The first objection states that the consequences do matter. In this we can compare…

One of the many subjects that Aristotle tackles in The Nicomachean Ethics is the concept and practice of friendship. Aristotle himself sets three requirements for friendship, as well as three separate categories for friendship, the categories being, utility based, pleasure based, and virtues based. While Aristotle does state that a virtue based friendship is the strongest, one could also put forth the argument that friendship only exists for the benefits of utility that come from friendship,…

The entirety of the Federalist Papers was written on the basis of one singular goal: to ratify the constitution. However, as the Constitution was in the stages of ratification, two distinct groups, the federalists and the anti-federalists formed. One, the federalists, heavily favored the Constitution, arguing that its principles were the ideal base of forming a Country, while the anti-federalists believed that the new changes may threaten liberty. They were opposed to the ratification of the…

well as in society. However the reality is quite different, Anarchy as a system is considered very idealistic and optimistic. Anarchists believe fundamentally in mankind and that we are able to function as a society without a government. The main objection Anarchists have to the current world order…

In this essay, I will compare and contrast Cocking and Kennett’s view with Thomas’s highly moralized view about the nature and value of friendships. Friendship is an important aspect to human life, and many philosophers attempt to understand it to its fullest. To compare the differing views of Cocking and Kennett to Thomas’s Highly moralized view, I will examine why each party believes that friendship is valuable, as well as discuss how morality is related to friendship. I will also determine…

There are a few possible objections to this theory. One of these objections applies to copies of the original art, such as with books and movies. If a person is not reading the original copy of the book, we would still consider what they are reading to be art, even though this seems inconsistent with…

During Reasoning and Argumentation, I felt I put in a fair amount of in class work. I showed up for every class period and stayed the entire time. Also, I shared my opinion during almost every class discussion. I understand that we as humans have barriers to critical thinking through hindrance. This hindrance comes in many forms. For example, there is using defensive arguments, when how we see the world may be questioned, through things such as cliches and ignorance. Although there is many ways…

Second Argument Evaluation, Singer: Morality’s Ambivalent Behavior in the Face of Affluence In the piece “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” Peter Singer puts forth his argument that “if it is in our power to prevent something very bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything else morally significant, we ought, morally, to do it,” (Cahn, 505). In his argument Singer claims that men have the moral responsibility to prevent suffering when it does not negatively impact “himself or his…

a society existing blissfully is not only preferred, but better. And, if we grant what is better for society captures that which is good for a society, then individuals ought to act according to the promotion of this peaceful societal end. One objection to Hobbes comes from whether an individual has the right to opt-out of the contract. This uncompliant individual reasons Hobbes’ security risk worth taking. For those whom believe this is the case, then what would be holding them, in an…
