Every person has their own perspective of ethics. Each human being has their own set of moral rules, or beliefs, that guide them in their behavior. Though there are quite a few philosophical theories to which a person may rest their convictions, ethical egoism is among the ones most debated. In this paper, I will argue as to why ethical egoism is not a good philosophy to follow. Ethical egoism is the normative theory that it is always morally right to encourage a person's own good. A normative…

Let the value a variable ‘y’ takes in period t depend upon, or be a function f (.) of, the value of other variables, x1, x2 and x3 have…

Individualistic society is comprised of a group of independent people that prioritize furthering one’s own self-interests. On the other hand, collectivist societies put society’s well-being over an individuals’. In the novel “Animal Farm” by George Orwell there is a farm taken control by animals and where animals believe they were equal. The two main character’s of “Animal Farm” are two pigs named…

setting of wilderness as well as elaborate metaphors and other figurative language to explore the internal relationship, and sometimes struggle, one has between their instinctive and rational inner selves. Kinnell’s use of figurative language to represent natural phenomena in the poem blurs the line between primitive and rational to produce an introspective exploration of the human experience. Kinnel also highlights how man is both one with nature while also being apart from it. The poem takes a…

For this curriculum study, I chose third grade mathematics as my unit of study. As far as my objectives go, I would want my students to walk away from this particular section of fractions with the understanding of what a fraction is, the difference between the components of a fraction such as the numerator and denominator, knowing how to identify how many parts of a whole are shaded in, and knowing how to simplify a fraction. As far as my instructional method, I created an original prezi, which…

others completely desist from crime altogether. One of the most prominent and relevant theories to explain criminal behavior is known as the rational choice theory, which was first introduce by Cesare Beccaria in the late eighteenth century. Gabor et al., (1987) claimed that rational choice theory is, “…Found on the assumption that offenders are more or less rational in their decision making and seek to benefit themselves by their criminal activity (As cited in Morrison and O’Donnell, 1996).…

at the ballot box which we gain from our environment around us such as our parents’ political views. In this essay, I, will show why the Michigan model of voting offers an inadequate explanation for the way people vote and why I believe that the rational choice theory of voting specifically the altruistic theory of voting with a focus on a partisan form of altruistic voting offers a better explanation for why people vote the way that they do. I will achieve this goal by at first putting forth my…

paradigm does not appear as an independent category as often as the two others (structural and cultural) in explaining the divergent outcomes and trajectories of the Arab Spring. Rational choice theory is used by a number of scholars in explaining how people in urban areas opted to join the ant-regime protests…

The problem is that we cannot assume whether an individual action was irrational due to our belief’s while he or she considered their actions as rational. This become important when it comes to choosing an alternative options: attend a rehabilitation center or risk incarceration for that crime. Research has proving that the threat of arrest, rather than harshness is the most important deterrent factor, and many programs that focus on rehabilitation have been unsuccessful. An individual will plan…

behaved in such a way. Another theory identified is the rational choice theory, which the offender measures the risks and benefits in the decision to commit the crime through economic terms without truly considering any other factors like time, place, and possible punishment. To explain a real example at the agency some of the following facts have been altered to protect the clients involved for ethically purposes. Client A made the rational decision to steal another client’s several boxes of…
