Prima facie

I was contacted by the claims adjuster Renee Dubiel to reopen my case management file on Mr. Heintz, as he still requires a case manager. The previous company has closed their file. I spoke with Mr. Heintz regarding his general status and that I noted he had an upcoming appointment on June 4 with Neurosurgery. Mr. Heintz provided me with the address and reported that his aide would be transporting him to the appointment. Communication seems best with Mr. Heintz through text messages as Mr.…

The categorical imperative, to Immanuel Kant, is an overarching principle of acting towards others the way you would like for them to treat everybody else; a slight furtherance of the ‘Golden Rule’(Where your actions are based upon the way you would like them to treat you). The categorical imperative creates a moral basis based upon one’s understanding of their own individuality coupled with an empathetic understanding of those around them, based upon their precepts that they’ve come to…

“Is There a Prima Facie Obligation to Obey the Law?” M.B.E. Smith posits that the questions asking, “have the citizens of any government a prima facie obligation to obey the law?” and “what governments enjoy legitimate authority” are two distinct questions, and thus should not be conflated. It is my contention, that while these two questions are—and should be kept—separate, the latter can inform the former. Smith argues that “although those subject to a government often have a prima facie…

determine what moral standing a person should take in a situation is a prima facie duty. A prima facie is what a person feels or sees at the very first glance. Some examples of prima face duties are to tell the truth, don’t kill people, and help other people in need. These all seem like things that are obvious, but they shouldn’t always be true if there is another conflict at cost. Because people do not agree that a prima facie is making the most for the majority of people affected, it is best…

W.D. Ross’ Prima Facie Duties vs. J.S. Mill Throughout life, you are often faced with conflicts. These conflicts may not be entirely avoidable, which could result in challenging choices that may need to be made. The conflicts may be present because of the choices that one made for themselves—the consequences of their own actions—or may be because of situations that arise from other people’s actions. Whatever the reason for the conflicts, one is put into a position that they need to arrive…

This ancient statue seems to be very significant, due to the clear visual understanding. The height of the statue shows power and strength. His physical traits might be a lot, but looking at it; proves that he might be a leader. The image shows a man standing tall with his right hand up high as if he is about to give a speech. He stands nude with a sandal on and a scarf on his left shoulder. Idealistically looking, he looks like old person. His ears are a bit big, and if he is closely look at,…

Consequently, some prima facie duties create ethical dilemmas such as having to choose between helping a friend in distress or fulfilling a promise. Ross states that the prima facie duty is to fulfill the more important duty. Furthermore, the choice should be self evident. For example, a promise to be home by 11:30 PM, and on the way home a friend is notice in a burning vehicle at 11:20 PM and pulling the friend from the burning vehicle would take more than 10 minutes is an example of a prima…

Jordan Curnutt claims that utilitarian based arguments to defend vegetarianism are inadequate. He presents his own argument, NEW, for vegetarianism and exposes flaws in various attempts to override the prima facie duty of not harming animals. Utilitarian arguments can both favor and oppose vegetarianism. Several philosophers have insisted that utilitarian based arguments require that people eat meat because it improves the economy, helps people who work in the meat industry, and because people…

Issue #1 Was the Plaintiff’s claim of prima facie barred by res judicata? Issue #2 Does the Plaintiff meet the requirements of Prima Facie? Holding #1 No, the plaintiffs claim…

The Sanctity of Life theory (cf. section 1) treats the foetus as a human life, which, as such, is deemed to be sacred. Since the foetal life as a human life is sacred, the theory concludes that it is prima facie wrong to kill the foetus. Two major problems have been identified earlier. First, the appeal to “human” life is an appeal to a particular species and as such is criticized as a “speciesist” argument, in a way analogous to sexist or racist. Based…
