The dispute between rationalism and empiricism is found within a branch of philosophy called epistemology, is all about the extent to which humans are dependent on sense experience in the quest to acquire knowledge. Rationalists think that there are ways with which our concepts and knowledge can be gained independently of sense experience. On the other hand, empiricists think that sense experience is the only source of all concepts and knowledge. But Immanuel Kant sought to give a solution and therefore solve the dispute between these two arguments.
Kant argues that the method and the content found in these two ...

Do we have a duty to intervene in conflicts around the world? Why or why not? Use Kant/vices to answer this question.

Abstract

A nurse is likely to face different worldviews constantly in their line of work. Such worldviews are often shaped by different religious and cultural beliefs. The question of euthanasia for patients with terminal illnesses lends itself to different worldviews and interpretations. George’s condition of ALS has forced him to consider euthanasia. From, a Christian standpoint, this choice is wrong because only God the Creator has the authority over life and death. Also, Buddhism does not favor euthanasia. The question of the causes of sickness also lends itself to religious interpretation. Christian interpretations are varied. One view is that ...

Abstract
One of the most important actions an American citizen can take to uphold their role in the social contract of American democracy is to exercise their right to vote.

This paper takes a look at the effects this has on job satisfaction—specifically workplace morale, productivity, and job security—and argues that greater investment in the social contract of democracy on the part of the working classes is likely to yield positive results in each of these areas. American voters, and potential ...

John Locke’s argument is based on refutation of the notion of existence of innate ideas in the human mind. He argues that all ideas existing in the human mind came about because of particular experiences and encounters. The concept of a yellow banana, if it was to be analyzed in terms of John Locke, would entail deep mental analysis and synthesis and prove that its inception is not as simple as it seems. We have to analyze the concept of a yellow banana in terms of its primary qualities and its secondary qualities. Primary qualities mainly entail the physical qualities ...

John Locke’s Social Contract Theory:

Introduction:
The Social Contract Theory argues that people’s morals and obligations depend on an agreement among them in order to form the society in which they reside. John Locke's argues that the state of nature of man is perfect, and no one is to interfere each other’s’ lives. He states that even though the state of nature is one without punishment from the authority, it is not pre-moral (Friend, 2004). In Hobbes's argument, he points out that without identification and recognition of a universal authority, chaos is the order of man. In contrast to this, Locke and ...

Introduction

Social learning theory is a comprehensive theory that encompasses interrelated concepts about human behavior. The first to develop this theory is the American psychologist, Albert Bandura, in the 1960s. Bandura theorized that people learn behavior through observation, which he proved through his ‘Bobo doll’ experiment. Social learning theorists believe that human behavior is not just a product of the ‘cause and effect’ phenomenon as what behaviorism suggests, but rather, human beings processes information from the environment and learns their behavior over time. According to Bandura, man is a thinking creature; that he is not helpless to the psychological and ...

Therefore, an American leading bank that opened a subsidiary in Italy was faced with a moral issue when it was forced to apply the “Italian style” for declaring its tax return, which implied lying about the actual tax return by downsizing it with 30 – 70% of its real value (Kelly 54). Although ...

Question 1. Why should Starbucks, Kraft, and Nestle create "ethical supply chains”?

The concept of ethical supply chain has grown more and more popular in the recent years. Ethical in this case should not be confused with legally right, since ethical considerations go far beyond legislation or business relations. Ethical behaviour is usually linked to social responsibility of the companies, which is embedded into their strategy and operations. In businesses related to the global sourcing of inputs, ethical behaviour largely depends on the fair trade concepts, which promote supporting suppliers in the poor countries in order to improve their productivity and enhance competitiveness (Barrar, and Gervais). Since supply chain is in ...
