Voluntary Simplicity Meets Modern Consumerism

INTRODUCTION
When people look at the modern world today the first thing they recognize is the evidence of humanity’s development of the world, how they harvested the needed environment for energy and rejoice in the modern technological advances that allow for a fantastic amount of convenience to many people’s everyday lives. However, many of these same human beings fail to consider the consequences, on many levels, that all of these developments and advances may lead to. Many argue that these advances and conveniences have led to an unhealthy kind of consumerism; ideologies that place a great deal ...

Introduction

Euthanasia refers to the termination of a patient’s life for the sake of mercy. Euthanasia raises several ethical concerns about the value of life as well as the measures that healthcare facilities and governments need to undertake to protect and uphold it (Weir, 1998). Countries fear to legalize euthanasia because of the ethical concerns about the sanctity of life. Furthermore, the general notion by many countries is that legalizing voluntary euthanasia would automatically lead to the legalization of involuntary euthanasia (Saaty and Vargas, 2012). There are many divergent outlooks concerning upholding life, and many individuals are of the ...

The topic of euthanasia is one of the burning issues of debate all over the world for a long time with the advocates for and against the act of mercy killing coming up with their explanatory views and perspectives regarding the matter. It is beyond doubt that the ethical dilemma encompassing the act of euthanasia would make one ponder about the correctness of ending a life. However, to shed more light on the matter, one should delve deep into the concept of voluntary euthanasia, non-voluntary euthanasia as well as involuntary euthanasia so ...

There is a sharp distinction between active and passive euthanasia. The former is the voluntary act of ending life or “mercy killing” while the latter is the cessation of the activities used to prolong a patient’s life. There have been strong debates concerning the moral permissibility of the active euthanasia. In this essay, I will present the arguments put forth by Rachels and Callahan concerning the issue and argue that the active voluntary euthanasia is not morally permissible.
In his justification of the active voluntary euthanasia, James Rachels stands that judging from moral grounds active and passive euthanasia ...

Currently, the population expresses interest in the influence of companies’ activities on modern life. In turn, companies feel inclined to legitimate their practices to society. The interest is connected with the moral aspect of pursuing profit and implementing regulations of companies’ activities. Such practices reveal the idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) which presents a complex area as it centers on issues of humanity, sustainability, and environmental responsibility (Crane, Matten, and Spence, 2013, pp. 3-4; Fleming, Roberts, and Garsten, 2013, p. 340; Wright, 2010, p. 1). In this regard, the following social ...

Health care standards have been evolving over time. A plethora of processes and forces take part in igniting the developments. These changes could be ad hoc, systematic or even consensual. At the bottom lurks a well-established organizational structure whose object is to review the performance of the standards and propose advancement where circumstances so require. However, certain areas lag, occasioning serious inefficiencies to the system. Often, the legal framework is a serious undoing and affects the realization of these standards. Besides, diverse standards contain varying recommendations, and this tends to atrophy the efforts therewith. Perhaps a biggest of all ...

The legalization of Euthanasia is an ethical concern in Canada. Euthanasia refers to the process of medical assistance in dying. It is one of the easiest methods to terminate the life of a person who may be having a terminal illness like cancer and HIV/Aids in their lasts stages. However, some people argue that the individual must be sure that they have to die in the end. Recently, the Canadian legislator changed the rule and advocated for euthanasia among the terminally ill patients. The law is unethical as most people do not identify with the effects of the law ...

The Safe Medical Devices Act (SMDA) is federal legislation that promotes the security and safety of medical devices and products. In particular, the Act came into existence back in the 1990s owing to the need by the government to combat injuries and illnesses brought about by the consumption of wrong products (Curfman et al. 976). From MedWatch, the hospitals have to follow laid down instructions on how to report mishandling of medical devices. The instructions from med watch also govern the administration and prescription of over-the-counter medicines ("MedWatch Voluntary Report"). The Safety Medical Act requires hospitals to report any ...

Voluntary or the assisted euthanasia is taking the option of ending one's life. This can be done voluntary, passively, actively or involuntary. The doctor may provide an overdose of a prescription that will result in death. Schiavo case represents non-voluntary euthanasia.

Barry Peterson is one of the many people who have lost their spouses to Alzheimer’s disease and, therefore, it was wise of him to begin a relationship with a woman who would recognize his presence and also adequately take care of his emotional needs, especially as he dealt with giving care to his wife.

Introduction
In 1990, pollution prevention was set as a priority in the American national objectives of environmental management through the Pollution Prevention Act (Weinberg, 2006). According to EPA, pollution prevention is decreasing waste before recycling, treatment, or disposal.

The various types of programs administered are Voluntary, Regulatory, Enforcement, and market based programs (Bishop, 2000). Enforcement programs are aimed at enforcing a strategy that will achieve full compliance with environmental laws. An example of these programs is Septic System Pollution ...

Introduction

One of the most common strategies of criminal defense attorneys when representing a defendant who has an unusual condition such as a mental abnormality, is to argue either that regardless of their actions, they are nevertheless not responsible for the crime or that they never had the capacity to commit a crime. The reason that criminal defense attorneys can make these arguments is that criminal law recognizes a number of unique situations where otherwise criminal conduct should not be subjected to a determination of guilt and the offender should be exempted from the crime (LaFave, 2000). These arguments, which ...

Background

I volunteered to work with Goodwill Easter Seals of the Gulfcoast. This organization was founded in 1902 by Rev. Edgar J. Helms, an early social innovator and Methodist minister. Helms used to collect clothing and household goods from affluent parts of the city, then proceeded to hire people who could mend the goods. After that, the goods were resold or given to individuals who repaired them. This system became successful and resulted in the Goodwill philosophy which stated that “a hand up, not a hand out”. Dr. Helm’s vision set the precedent for the $4 billion non-profit organization ...

How the Changes in the Insolvency Act of Mauritius in 2009 Have Changed How Mauritius Handles Bankruptcy and Insolvency?

Insolvency is having more debts then assets that are available to pay them. Insolvency is also determined when a bankruptcy court decides that a person or a business cannot earn the needed funds to pay off all of their debts. The court can then choose to discharge some or all of the debts. This leaves the creditors not getting the money that they are owed. In many cases the insolvent is permitted to retain a few assets.
The changes brought to the insolvency act of Mauritius in 2009 have modernized the way Mauritius deals with bankruptcy and insolvency. This ...

The primary concern of the sit-to-stand and walk training tasks, prominent in the health institutions target patients with knee problems or those recovering from surgical operations as a safe means of initiating rehabilitation or healing process. The use of gait initiation process sustains the efficiency with which the patients gain their mobility through the dynamic processes anchored for coordinating center of pressure and the body center of mass of the individual patient.

Physician-assisted suicide is a highly controversial topic which tends to polarize people’s views. Around the world, there is much debate in governments about laws regulating physician-assisted suicide, and several countries now allow the practice. There are many strong arguments on both side of the debate and taking all of these arguments into account is helpful when assessing the topic. Against this type of euthanasia, the slippery slope argument asserts that legalizing assisted suicide could lead to desensitization around killing, which could in turn lead to involuntary euthanasia being legalized. Perhaps the most important to a physician, the medical ...

Significant increases in the national debt, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem, and its effect on the economy
An increase in national budget, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem, will result in a deficit, or more spending with less national input. Repercussions for a budget deficit can mean more borrowings for the national government from the private sector, such as the selling of bonds or gilts to the private sector.
The debate over the budget deficit has two opposing views. The first one is that the deficit is destructive to the ...

Helga Kuhse, Bioethics News, July 1992 Background Briefing* (from BIOETHICS NEWS Vol.11 No. 4 July 1992 page 40)
The article concerned deals with the issue of euthanasia, which is literally translated as “merciful death”. Generally, it implies deliberately robbing a person of his life. The article engages historical genesis of euthanasia, in particular examining the issue back in Ancient Greece and Rome (Young). The author of the article asserts that such medical procedures as euthanasia and suicide were rather acceptable in the ancient times. Nowadays, however, the general understanding and attitude towards these ...

The book starts with the definition of ethics, its historical attributions, moral reasoning, and bioethics. One of the most interesting parts of the book is chapter 13 on euthanasia and assisted suicide. A distinction was set to differentiate euthanasia from assisted suicide where euthanasia is referred to, as medical killing while assisted suicide is medical suicide. In euthanasia, the doctor alone is instrumental to the death of the patient for reasons attributed to the ethical concept of non-maleficence. The practice of euthanasia can be classified as passive and active where active refers to the act of removing the life ...

The issue of responsibility always stood acute in the minds of humanity. Throughout history, the fair division of responsibility was upon judges and rulers who decided what would be fair. Individual decisions without any systematic basis are not always fair, so there were made numerous attempts to give the answer to the question and resolve it once and for all. And while the cases where a group is responsible for an individual’s action seem more understandable and reasonable – Feinberg (1968, pp. 679-680), for example, even mentions the historical examples of collective responsibility, when the whole village was liable ...

Introduction
Assisted suicide is a term used where doctors knowingly provided a patient or helps a person commit suicide. This can be done through inducing lethal drugs to the patients. Assisted suicide occurs in many cases due to some circumstances that leave the doctors with a choice to either save a person’s life or not (Asch 123). When doctors have to induce the assisted suicide, there has to be an agreement reached with patients, patient’s family and the doctors in order to ensure that the case is not conducted without the knowledge of the patients. When there ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

In this essay I will dwell upon the issue of euthanasia. I will consider different views on this issue and discuss the contradictions that arise in relation to the use of euthanasia in different situations. I believe that passive euthanasia is possible and even desirable to alleviate the suffering of a terminally ill patient, when there is no hope to return the essential functions of his body, provided appropriate control over the lawfulness of the procedure implementation.
Euthanasia is a conscious action, resulting in the death of a hopelessly ill and suffering person in a relatively quick and painless ...

Business ethics provide greater awareness about the important and valuable business activities that can help enhance performance (Malachowski, 2001). The observance of business ethics assist in clarifying the business goals within an organization and the conditions that are essential in achieving them. Ethics draw the line between what are ideal business practices and what are not. Among the benefits of practicing business ethics include wasting the organization's resources on attaining its objectives while avoiding what would naturally be wrong for a business practice. The observance of unethical conduct can hurt the organization itself and may result to negative consequences.

In examining the criminal liability of the four persons about the death of Betty, several issues should be focused on approval or disapproval of any liability. In the case of Naveed, there is a need to prove whether he committed an actus reus in his threatening Betty. In the case of Peter, we need to establish under which circumstances and criminal law he might have been the causal link in the shooting, injury and eventual death of Betty. Also, there is a need to prove whether there was any state of mind with criminal liability and intent to cause ...

The economic development of Vietnam after the end of long-lasting war was quite complicated and controversial. The infrastructure destroyed during the war almost to the full extent and the human capital lost due to the same reasons constituted additional difficulties for the communist authorities that tried to foster its economic development.

The Deeper Meaning and Effects of Gender Roles in Religion

Both males and females according to the story of creation are were created in the same likeness and image, but the bitter truth is that they share so many differences in the same way they do things, even in religious aspects. Religious roles are divided based on gender. The kind of gender separation in religious duties as well as the control over gender roles has in great extent led to a deeper meaning and understanding of societal power and their reputation, as well as their consequences in religion.
In Jewish for example, male and females differ in so many ...

Modern America is in a situation of global transformation in all spheres of life. This is most clearly manifested in the radical change in traditional family values ​​and marriage, which leads to the erosion of semantic values ​​of the American mentality, the historical model of social change in the institution of family and marriage. “There is evidence, however, that the structure of social relationships in the United States has shifted in recent decades” (McPherson et al., 354).
