differing opinions? Is an action good if the
nature or the intentions of the action are

Acute Golden Rule
951 words
To discuss a statement of this nature, it would be
necessary to define the meaning of evil. In my
opinion, any act, which inflicts harm on another
individual (or group of individuals), is evil and
is to be avoided at all costs. Taking that in
mind, one (usually! ) restricts his behaviour to
acts that do not fall under the category of being
evil. Following this golden rule, all is well and
good until we face a situation where evil acts may
(seem to) lead to good. It is not hard to think of
such s...

True Happiness Ordinary People
495 words
Plato tells us that the each human soul contains
three elements: reason, spirit, and appetite.
Appetite consists roughly of instinctive drives,
spirit in acquired desires such as those for honor
and self-respect, and reason in the ability to
acquire knowledge (including moral knowledge).
Having made this simplified distinction, it can be
seen that Plato believes that humans are born
unequal. He draws the conclusion that one shall
have enough reason to overrule the spirit and the
appetite. And na...

Psychology Today, Vol. 31, no. 1, pp. 46 - 49, 78

personality is determined primarily by their
genetic make-up. After a twelve year study by
David Reiss, M. D. , parents are believed to have
little effect on the outcome of their child. As
well as genetics, environment plays a tremendous
role in a childs personality. A childs appearance
(genetics) may bring about a reaction from others
