besides pleasure as ends in themselves may best serve hedonistic ends’ (Hewitt, 2010, p.331) and thus casts doubt on whether these apparent anti-hedonistic intuitions provide evidence against hedonism as a theory of rational action. She argues for the possibility that whilst only pleasure has ‘objective, intrinsic value’, we are disposed to ‘desire many things besides pleasure as ends in themselves’ (Hewitt, 2010, p.332). This disposition comes about because of the benefits in regarding some…

Tracy suffered from severe cerebral palsy, but was not considered to be terminally ill. When she was 12 years old she became quadriplegic and was bedridden. Tracy could only get around in her wheelchair and needed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week care. Her condition was irreversible due to brain damage at birth. Tracy had the mental capacity of a 4 month old and only communicated through facial expressions, such as laughing and crying. She could not walk, talk or feed herself, though she responded…

campaigns in support of minorities such as the lgbt community and this has shaped my worldview on the value of support and especially of the impact the support can make. Saturday Night Live is another place that I gained feminist views from. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are two of my biggest role models as they are very strong women who don’t take shit from anyone and they have helped me to place value on myself and become a strong leader myself. Entertainment is such an important thingpasstime in…

see it as an evil thing. The answer to if we make money or does money make us will vary from people to people depending on their ideas and views about money. These two ideas work hand in hand. We make money by creating it, earning it and putting a value on it, which then makes us by giving us power, security, and self-worth. This paper will illustrate how we make money and how money makes us. To prove this notion, this paper will first analyze an article by Adrian Furnham, Sophie von Stumm and…

However, some philosophers argue that comparison is not always possible between values or bearers of values. Suppose that one (S) has to…

more valuable than the life of a Mcdonald’s worker? Do our lives have equal value? How exactly can the value of an individual’s life be measured? Many people contemplate the actual value of life and there are numerous opinions on how and why life should be valued. While some argue that human life is priceless, others claim that a human being is worth approximately $50,000. No life holds any value over another, a set dollar value on someone’s life is surreal, and life should be valued regardless…

were when they started in the fields, like 12 year old Zulema. It was passed down to these children like their parents had it passed down to them and so on. It’s a perpetual cycle of generations, partly because it is all they know and also due to the values instilled in them. Family, helping each other and hard work are all important to the children because that is what they were shown. They fear what would happen to their family if they didn’t help. The children take on the responsibilities…

status, which slowly ate away his honesty and moral value. What made it worse was that he endured endless accounts of pressure from his family and was expected to do better even though Ethan struggled to maintain his belief in this corrupt society. He came back to realize the mistakes he has done and wanted to change back to his old ways. We can compare this to the recent Occupy movement that happened…

obligatory by a culture or subculture’ (Haidt, 2001, p. 817)” (Schein and Gray 35). They deem that our moral compass is in part due to the moral standards held by the culture we are a part of and those ethical standings are a direct reflection of the character and values of each person. There is a basis for what is right and wrong, and those who are in the wrong are determined by the society they live in. The emphasis of how the structure of the values and ethical standards surrounding a society…

Organizational Values and Codes of Ethics A mission statement, in my opinion, is like a road map. You can use your mission and values to set a course. Keeping that course can help you reach your goal/destination faster and easier. We can see in the example of Clay Walker that a mission statement can be derived from a very personal experience. JEAN E. PALMIERI (Dec 2011) explains how Clay took his firsthand experience and turned it into his life’s work. That to me is a true mission. Keeling,…
