Obligation

Clinical trials ought to be conducted under calibrated statutory regimes where: 1) There is full disclosure to the patient undergoing the trial. 2) The right to withdraw at any stage without any consequence. 3) Comprehensive medical insurance. 4) Meticulous monitoring after administration of the drug for serious adverse effects. 5) Free access to the drug for the trial participants when it is cleared for commercial use. The bodies responsible for regulation of Clinical Trials are as follows:…

When someone asks me if I feel that the Federal Government is holding up its obligation to the American people, I must stop first and determine as to what it is that the government is actually obligated to provide. When our founding fathers created this country, they dreamed of a small-government that was not all involved in the details of the people’s lives. Thus, there aren’t many tasks the government is compelled to uphold. The first guaranteed function of government was a republican…

My only complaint is that I found little Affleck's moralizing at the end kind of forced. I felt he would have at least thought it over before calling the cops. Legally, it was the right decision to call the cops. Also, he felt the child needed to go back to her mother and he probably felt the child would help sober her up. The mother kind of sobered up at the end but still seemed like a mess, which is more realistic. The audience would have felt nice and tingly if the movie would have had her…

healthy ethical climate. Looking specifically at the ethical responsibilities an organization has, the organization has an obligation to do what is “’right, fair, and just’” no matter the situation (Johnson 339). In the case of Glenwood Gardens, they were ethical obligated to take care of their patrons, who had been trusted under their care. Colleen shared these obligations and was responsible for doing the right thing by administrating CPR even though the company policies through ambiguity…

My purpose in this essay is to explain and evaluate the first formulation of the Categorical Imperative. According to this formulation, whenever someone considers performing an action, it must be something that they would will or accept that all others do. While this formulation does have its advantages, such as that it provides justice for everyone, overall, I do not find this formulation plausible. Since every situation is different, it makes it hard to have universal rules. The Categorical…

The gift can signify the status of a person. A person to demonstrate their high social status might donate money to TCU to construct a building with their name on it. This would indicate their wealth and status in society. This leads to Mauss’s obligations of giving gifts. The giver is obligated to give so they are perceived generous. The receiver is obligated to show respect and potential in the future give back based on your relationship…

Kantianism is an obligation-based theory developed by Immanuel Kant. He did not believe that moral truths should be based on one’s religion or culture. He created a theory he believed would be applicable and followed universally. Kant believed that individuals should be morally obligated to do something because it based on reason and not desires. Stealing and deceiving others is wrong universally, therefore any act where one chooses not to deceive others is done so because it is morally required…

between a responsibility and an obligation is, being responsible means you have a sense of moral or ethical duty to something or someone which may imply an obligation to do something. An obligation is simply a mandate to do something that does not connote any moral or ethical dimension. The two words can mean the same. For example, my family is my responsibility and obligation. The first example where I have experienced the tension between responsibility and obligations, is between my daughter…

but more explicitly it is because of political obligation. An obligation is seen as a moral duty. If we are politically obligated to obey the laws of a given state, then it is morally wrong to disobey them. Ultimately, political obligations pertains to what the subjects of the state are morally required to do. Citizens have a political obligation to obey the government so that…

is the formula under which every obligation is proclaimed. Every ought presents a necessity of action and is qualified for two meanings: either I ought to do something as a means if I wish something else as an end, or I ought to achieve my real end directly (that kind of something else). The former we can call the necessity of means (necessita temproblem aticam), and the latter the necessity of ends (necessita temlegalem). Through the first necessity no obligation…
