Peter Rabbit

In Peter Shaffer’s Equus, the plot revolves around seventeen year-old Alan Strang’s obsession with horses, culminating in his blinding six horses in one night. Despite committing this terrible crime, Alan is not inherently a bad person; instead, he is the victim of social taboos surrounding religion and sexuality as enforced by his parents and social heterosexual expectations as represented by Jill. Furthermore, no one will hold these people and concepts accountable for their actions. This…

Utilitarianism seems to be most consistent with my own personal moral framework and perspective. One would think this particular theory would be one most medical professionals could relate too, especially nurses. Nurses being that we are always or should always be thriving to do the greatest good, the largest number of people within a community (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2014). The theory dates back to the early 19th century, and was founded by an English philosopher and social…

What Is The “Beast” Let’s face it everyone has a wild and crazy savage side to them. Well in the Lord of The Flies the characters that are all boys are all going and growing into savages except a couple of them but the one thing that they all keep saying is that there is a beast on the island with them. One thing that the boys thought was the beast was the Pilot that had crashed on the island while in a War. While on the island each boy believe it or not they all are going through fear and…

The journalist, Judith Martin, states “The greater the controversy, the more you need manners.” In other words, no matter a person’s position on someone’s beliefs, they should respect them regardless. Some people have a plethora of negative opinions of Family Guy, whereas others are huge fans. In Antonia Peacocke’s controversial essay, “Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious,” she portrays the belief that Family Guy is actually more logical and less ignorant, than…

The elemental idea of Utilitarianism is that actions are morally right only if and because they produce the greatest good. The greatest good in this case pertains to taking in all the effects of the action, be they long or immediate, and taking in to account everyone that will be affected. The net effect of the action is then formulated by subtracting the sum of bad effects from the good. Furthermore, Utilitarianism is a doctrine that all actions should be judged in terms of their utility in…

Utilitarianism is a moral theory in which a “good action” takes into account the greatest overall happiness for the greatest number of people. The most essential feature of utilitarianism is that it is “a goal-oriented moral theory because it places all of its emphasis on the actual consequences of moral rules and principles, and insists that they be justified only by appeal to how happy they make us”. To further explain, utilitarianism justifies the actions and decisions made by focusing on the…

In The York Corpus Christi Play: The Crucifixion, Jesus speaks only two times in the three-hundred lines. The rest of the dialogue is between the four soldiers who are attempting to crucify him. There is an odd dark humor among the soldiers while they are crucifying Jesus. More interesting, however, is Jesus’ response to his crucifixion. The first time he speaks his words are directed at God only. The second time he speaks, the first half of his text is directed at man, while he still ends with…

During the year 326, St. Helena and Constantine ordered the town to build a church right over the cave where Jesus was born. The project – the Church of the Nativity – was finished on May 31, 339. Not only did Jesus’ birth take place under the church, but St. Jerome was actually buried underneath the church as well in Bethlehem. Later on, in 530 A.D., Justinian had the church destroyed. In place of it, he built a bigger church. The church Justinian built is the one there today. The Persians…
