response was more complex than the World Trade Center attack, thus creating additional problems for responders at the scene. When the Arlington County Fire Department (ACFD) established the incident command structure, the ACFD based their response efforts on the Incident Command System and Unified Command (reference). Additional units from the Department of Defense (DoD), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Urban Search and Rescue Task…
and therefore possible sources of knowledge. Identifying one source of knowledge becomes problematic. Finally, morality cannot depend on the commandments of God. If morality depended on the commandments of God, either morality is arbitrary or God’s command is irrelevant. After careful examination of the arguments supporting the view that religion is essential for morality, it is clear that morality can exist independently from…
Socrates during Plato’s Euthyphro. The question is seen to object the Divine Command Theory. Socrates asked, “is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?” or in other words, “Are morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they morally good because they are willed by God?” (Philosophy of Religion The Origin of the Euthyphro Dilemma). The Divine Command theorist faces problems that will not allow them to be able to…
look towards the future and actually sets a guide for the organization to follow to achieve certain goals and or benchmarks that have been set by the plan. These goals and or benchmarks are time sensitive and can be set by the organization of the command staff; the plan might be a year, three (3) years or five (5) years. The plan could very well be altered at a certain point and time if the priorities of the organization changes. This plan is very important to the success or the failure of…
Does morality depend on God? Is it God’s commands that make actions right or wrong? These arguments were originally inspired by the story of Euthyphro, written by Plato, where a dilemma, commonly known as Euthyphro’s dilemma, stems from the dialogue between the two main characters. It poses the question of whether an action is pious because it is loved by the Gods, or if it’s loved by the Gods because it is pious. As time went by, a modernized model of this argument came to life and from that, a…
and Hazard Investigation Board, 2013). Senior emergency response personnel arrived at the scene of the WFC incident at various times and did not properly appoint an IC, who would have been responsible for conducting and coordinating an Incident Command System (ICS) (U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, 2013). There was also no evidence found of pre-incident planning involving the WFC facility (U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, 2013). More likely than not,…
Divine Command Theory is a normative theory that states we should follow the will of god. A similar variation to Euthyphro’s question to Socrates is; does god commands what is right because it is right, or God commands what is right? This question can be quite confusing, and can be difficult to explain which of the two corresponds with Divine Command Theory. After carefully analyzing both scenarios, it can be concluded that a Divine Command Theorist cannot choose one. Therefore, let’s examine…

The data were tabulated using Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) method, which is non-laboratory test and 2 classification of soils based on laboratory test. The two laboratory test classify soil methods are Classification of soil based on particular size distribution and Classify soil based on Atterberg Limits…
