The idea of a trial is for a victim to get justice and for a criminal to be punished for his or her crime. The way that the punishment is decided depends on the jury and on the judges chosen to listen to the case. The novel The Stranger by Albert Camus is based on a man who is charged with premeditated murder and sentenced to death by guillotine. The book starts off with the death of the central character, Meursault’s, mother. In the very beginning of the book we are introduced to Meursault’s…

structure behind moral philosophy, many theories of morality have been developed. I have elected to argue the Principle of Humanity as the most valid moral theory due to the fact that without following this formula humanity would be treated as objects of no intrinsic value, counteracting our superiority. According to Kantian’s, the Principle of Humanity is the ultimate moral formulation, claiming that one must always…
The people of this world lack many things but an open mind single handedly tops the list. I simply cannot stand close minded people that have obviously been brainwashed and programmed for generations to believe the most ridiculous ideas. What infuriates me more is fact that a few of these folks will enter positions of power varying from teaching to political office. Now with a massive set of listening ears can these pests spread or attempt to spread the most repulsive ideas and ways of life. The…
what Singer implies, humans have a right to various things in their lives, such as their body and money, and there is no obligation to contribute every extra possible help simply because there are people who have poorer lives. Arthur states that morality does not lie in doing the greatest action possible at any given moment, and humans are under no moral obligations to contribute thousands of extra dollars to third world countries merely because the sacrifice would not be as rough as what the…
In Francis Fukuyama’s “Human Dignity” and the Dalai Lama’s “Ethics and New Genetics”, the authors are questioning new biotechnologies and their influence on human morals. Fukuyama, like the Dalai Lama, sees the threat in these technologies and they are both concerned about proper use of them. This paper will examine how new biogenetic developments and moral ethics can coexist together. Through this careful examination the evidence will explore views of both of the authors on biogenetics and the…
The moral theory of Kantianism deals generally with the basic of determining the fundamental principles of morals in life. The first main part of Kantianism is the qualification of will for, “Nothing can possible be conceived in the world, or even out of it, which can be called good, without qualification, except a Good Will” (85). With that being said, Kant is stating, attributes that an individual may be capable of having desirable traits such as intelligence. But the way a person makes use of…
his or her community and incorrect when they promote pain or suffering. To further capitalize the importance of the principle of utility, Mill makes it out to be the foremost precept of morality, or the “First Principle” of morality. When Mill establishes the principle of utility as the “First Principle” of morality, he means that it is the foundation of one’s moral compass, that it is similar to the “roots…
Does the claim that moral judgements are intrinsically motivating provide a good justification for non-cognitivism? The cognitive/non-cognitive divide posits that mental states and processes fall into either a category of perception which is analytical, or a category of attitude which is affective or impulsive. A moral judgement must be linked to some mental process, and according to some theories, moral facts in fact originate from mental processes. Moral judgements seem to stem from a…
The under developed nations are currently in quest for formulas that could help their economic development and social progress. This has given much limelight to the area of practice and management of institutions which have been the key contributor to a state. Efficient management, sound economic institution coupled with great strategies is essential to erode the root of backwardness (Ali, 1988). The conventional view management as a process towards organisational goal by engaging in four major…
