Point Of View Cause And Effect
1,233 wordsIn a purely existential sense a religion or at least an old religion is one that is based on values and virtues that allow a sustainable community to survive and thrive. Using the same principals of survival of the fittest one can deduce that any religion with rituals or traditions that harmed or hampered the community would die out and any religion that encourage procreation and community would have a greater chance of surviving. It is from these laws and rituals that, over time, ethical standp...

Torturers Are Made Notion Of Authorization Torturer
698 wordsRonald D. Cretlinsten contends that torturers acquire the ability to cope with the moral dilemmas of inflicting pain upon and murdering their fellow humans primarily through the processes of routinization and dehumanization, and also through the notion of authorization (191). With such as the case, an individual adept in the art of torture would necessarily have learned to be cruel, however, that argument neglects the very reality that many engaged in such activities are intrinsically perverse, ...

Claudius And Gertrude Hamlet And Laertes
1,594 wordsI do agree that the characters in this scene are portrayed in a very ambiguous manner. At this point in the play, many of the characters are masking their real feelings; this is usually quite apparent in their language and behaviour on stage. The structure of the scene is an important feature used to display the characters ambiguity, especially with the characters of Hamlet and Claudius. Only Hamlet is alone on the stage at any one time, and is therefore the only character who can express his tr...

Hence, killing the doctor would be the wrong thing to do and through Kant that action is not morally justified, since the moral law demands that we treat others as ends in themselves, and never as mere means to other ends.

Civil Disobedience One Man
926 wordsIn a concise essay, Thoreau proffers a challenge to all men, not to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. Over and over, almost redundantly, Thoreau stresses simplicity and individualism, as most transcendentalists (the new philosophical and literary movement of Thoreau's time) did. Thoreau clearly states, in his On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, that the government is unjust and doesnt represent the will of the people, that one man cant change the government, and that peop...
