Essays on Goodness

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

In “Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: A Review,” C.S. Lewis famously said: “The value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity” (Lewis).

The tragic hero according to Corrigan (206) is the good man who faces trouble due to his errors or shortcomings. The shortcomings or errors are the real motivators behind the action of the ...

Alcibiades, a young man who wants to enter politics, enters a dialogue with Socrates about the qualities of a good political leader. While he believes that his education and experiential knowledge are enough to make him a good politician, Socrates proves to him that he needs to learn about the true meaning of abstract and controversial concepts, such as justice or goodness before being able to counsel others about it. In particular, Socrates shows young Alcibiades that he does not have self-knowledge and persuades Alcibiades that a man who wants to enter politics first needs sufficient self- knowledge in ...

It is difficult to make someone believe in something unprecedented, but the church was able to do it. It is difficult to keep the influx of non-believers, but the church was always doing so until the freedom of speech and thought, of course.

Religious ideas, rules, basics are described in the sacred books, which allegedly have been dictated by God. Of course, no one can currently prove ...

Philosophy Questions

1. Ross’ s Moral Theory is considered to stand between Kant’s strict deontological theory and theological theory of utilitarianism. According to the philosopher, there existed several prima facie duties that people had to hold in respect if they did not contradict one another. In case they conflicted, human’s intuition would help to make the right choice and find the weightiest and the most important duty. Ross stated that any prima facie obligation could be redefined by more important ones. While Kant saw all obligations absolute and exceptionless, Ross allowed maximization of the good as one of the ...

Report on the relationship between assets and sales

Executive summary A company’s investment in foreign assets has a bearing on the amount of foreign sales it makes. The regression analysis indicates a positive association between the ratio of foreign sales to total sales and the ratio of foreign assets to total assets. This implies that transnational companies should invest more in foreign assets to improve their foreign sales. They should also consider other factors affecting foreign sales such as international marketing strategies including advertising expenditure, among others. Investment in foreign assets is not the only contributor to foreign sales as indicated by the model’s coefficient ...

Nurses have to face different concerns while on duty because they serve different patients from different locations and religions on a daily basis. To address these concerns, a majority of the issues considered as an ideal show that the community has a varied way of looking at everyday existence. The aspect of humanity is quite different from many, yet, they all agree that something higher and more supreme than humanity exists. The acceptance of this differs from one person to the other, an aspect that shows a different way of observing the concept of one’s life. Nurses must ...

Justice is something which underlies our own society – without it, indeed, some people posit that there can be no such thing as society. While many people state that justice is the same thing as the law, with Plato being the most visible proponent of this theory, others, such as Socrates, hold the two to be very different things. As we shall see below, while Socrates and Plato disagree on whether or not justice and law are the same, they both agree when it comes to addressing the role that justice takes in internal adherence to the values of the ...

Introduction

Initially, the problem of evil was tied to the syllogism that everything was created by God and since evil is a thing, therefore evil was also created by God. However, this approach to the problem of evil was devastating to Christians core belief of God being an omnibenevolent God. St. Augustine, therefore, sought to provide a solution to the problem and formulated an approach that prompted two syllogisms which stated that, according to the bible, all of Gods creation are good. Evil cannot be considered as good. Therefore, evil is not a part of God’s creation. The second ...

In the contemporary society, living a moral Christian life is difficult, particularly because of the different messages that people receive from various sources, and as a result of the distancing between man and religion.

Besides, the globalization of today’s developed societies means that people often live in diverse and non-traditional families, that communities become less homogenous and various religions can be found within the same families and communities. In this context, the Christian believer often finds that the ...

The analysis of friendship as a life concept and universal phenomenon is evident in Aristotle’s The Nicomachean Ethics.

The decision to like them on Facebook or to follow them on Twitter does not mean that the fan and the famous person are friends. On the contrary, in Aristotle’s views, such a situation does not even ...

As indicated by utilitarians, the correct thing to do is dependably to expand bliss.

The popular savant Immanuel Kant believed that each of these perspectives was mixed up.

Introduction The evil-God challenge is an offshoot of the unending debate over the existence of God on the basis of the problem of evil. In this current presentation, Law simply improved the discourse by enhancing its sophistication through his theory of reverse theodicy and theory of symmetrical logic. However, the persistence of this discourse without conclusive resolution flows from several flaws that will be discussed in adequate detail in Critique section of this paper. The critique will be grounded upon the accepted definitions of ‘evil’ and ‘God’ from the religious tradition of Catholicism, ...

“Mind and Body” Descartes claims that the mind and body, though inextricably linked, are actually completely separate entities. This dualism confirms that mind and body each possess distinct natures which cannot be categorized into one. While the human body is a material object that possesses all the features of physicality, humans likewise harness the capacity to conjure up judgments and ponder their own being-ness. In other words, humans possess minds. While the mind encompasses all mental functions including thought and consciousness, the body encompasses neural and structural facets of existence. In exploring the nature of this mutual interaction, Descartes ...
