Value system

“The only way you can tell whether an intention would be good is by looking at whether performing the corresponding deed would be good, in which case the appeal to intentions isn 't really necessary.” This argument made by Peter Abelard is a bit confusing because, it begs the question, “how can a deed be named good or bad if the intention isn’t necessary? While attempting to answer this question, I became conflicted by many of my own moral and ethical ideals. Often I found myself questioning if…

monetary value of necessary labor time. However, to profit, companies need a worker to work more than necessary time, without increasing wages. This extra time is surplus time and is the source of profit. In an attempt to clarify, lets run through an example. Pat works at a book factory and needs 700 dollars a week to maintain their standard of living. Consequently, when Pat took a job at the factory, they accepted a salary for this amount. While working Pat’s labor adds 200 dollars of value to…

Needless to say that value appears to be one of the most important components of every business. The quality of products predetermines its popularity among the customers, so every company tries to add value to its goods and increase the profit. The term of "value chain" is commonly defined as a set of activities, which are aimed to create and build value for a specific type of product (Gale, 2016). This process helps an enterprise to separate beneficial activities, which help a company to…

Plantation Shutters In 1979, Peter Allen, the renowned Aussie songwriter, wrote a popular song for the Broadway show All That Jazz entitled, “Everything Old is New Again”. Those few words completely define the return of plantation shutters as window décors for the 21st century. They are also the must-have accessories for outdoor patios, verandas, porches, and balconies. Beyond giving your indoor and outdoor areas an eye-appealing classical sophistication, plantation shutters come with a…

Frazier also claims that "marginal places are the blue­sky research zones of the outdoors"(Frazier 7). By having marginal places to go to, one can have a place to escape from the real world to do activities that do not really account for any economical values. Simply doing activities like throwing rocks, shooting frogs, making forts, and climbing trees seem to have no purpose whatsoever to most people, but to Frazier these activities were valuable. These activities were valuable to Frazier…

What is value? The question is tricky to answer on its own, but it can be helpful to look at the big picture. When trying to decide what is valuable, one often has a hard time distinguishing between the concepts of “want” and “need.” It is not believable, however, to draw a barrier line between the two and claim that want and need will stay separate unconditionally. For each person, wants and needs are defined differently. The “wants and needs” of a homeless person compared to those of a…

Dubois believes teaching young children moral values is indispensable. “Man has no moral instinct. He is not born with moral sense”- Mr. Dubois. People are not born with morality. They must acquire moral value through lessons, experience and proper punishment. Unfortunately, Anthony Fremont was born with no moral sense and has not been taught by his parents. The only natural sense…
