Perhaps the most important to a physician, the medical ...

Introduction

There are periods in life when it seems that it is impossible to go on, rise from ashes, or simply continue a journey.

It is challenging to encounter with the most difficult circumstances and to have strength to overcome them. Not everyone has an inner will and power to overcome the barriers and find a guiding threat again. However, literature presents the readers with the invaluable gift of experience, inspiration, and guidance, which helps to continue ...

Philosophy

Question 1 Kant talks about two kinds of imperatives that create groundwork for metaphysics of morals. The two kinds of imperatives that Kant talks about include; hypothetical and categorical imperatives. Hypothetical imperative focuses on the consequences of an action that a person takes. A person can lie to save a life which is allowed under the hypothetical imperative. On the other hand, categorical imperative is the moral obligation that is absolute. Categorical imperative focuses on people acting on a principal that is deemed rational to all people in the society. According to Kant’s deontological ethics, morality is measured ...

This paper addresses the issue of abortion as a societal concern. Evidently, abortion remains both an ethical and social policy issue not only in the United States but also the world society in general. Defined as the act of terminating a human pregnancy in deliberate terms, many people argue that the woman’s decision to abort is their right (Guttmacher Institute, 2016). However, being a social issue, other members of the society, specifically religious leaders, argue against abortion. For those against abortion, they say that it is only ethical not to terminate the child’s life as that may ...

Civil and human rights involve many dynamics. They are also a question of evolving law. Although the declaration of human rights is categorized on the scope of human entitlements, it nonetheless leaves out important information on the modalities of implementation.

Natural Law is something of a slippery subject and one that many different ...

Professional services became available for the purpose of the drafting of wills and last wishes. The immoral practice in ...

Landfills are a necessary evil that only deserves to be properly managed in order to avoid related problems.

An in-depth analysis about the topic was made by Zelizer in her journal article entitled ...

The value of literature in human life cannot be overestimated. This kind of art is one of the most ancient and important for humankind. Though this type of art has a connection with such term as fiction, it still has quite a real basis. Literature has arisen much earlier than it was given a definition and typology. The man, who existed before the literature, had already used its main elements even earlier than ten thousand years ago, which played a very important role in the life of the whole humankind. Using the words that were written on stones, people ...

Stem cell research and therapy are not new and continue to be a controversial topic. The benefits of stem cells, and what most scientists agree are the potential benefits of stem cells, in curing disease and regenerating tissue are seemingly limitless. In the past bone marrow transplants were the primary method used to obtain stem cells for research into cures for contemporary diseases such as cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimers, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes as well as spinal cord injuries. However, Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR) is much more controversial. There has been a recent shift to use ...

The author of the book characterizes Indians as passive victims of dark pages of their history. In fact, the author provides the description of separate stories which prove how American Indians became the active creators of their own history and moved from dispossession and darkness to well being and flourishing.

Many times Jung found himself seeing strange dreams and visions of another world, full of darkness and emptiness. It reminded him the world of the dead, or the trip to the moon. These psychedelic experiences helped him to discover the depth of his imagination. Through the voyage to the unconscious, Jung draws the connection between religion, psyche and human consciousness. Under the psychic reality Jung understands the experience of human personal unconscious, that is, all its processes, in particular, instinct, imagination, as well as the energy that is present in human mind all the time, from birth to death, ...

In the system of practical philosophy, ethics occupies a special place. It specifies the ethics and inspires a well-known formula of the ancient philosopher Protagoras that man is the measure of all things, justifying the idea of man as the highest value and self-worth, the sense of life and how to achieve happiness.

The concept of morality is often limited to the level of elementary culture of communication, so the meaning and the ...

Sadness is a construct, and as such cannot exist alone; without happiness there is no sadness and vice versa. They are the yin and yang that propels human beings through life, with happiness being the goal, and sadness being the benchmark by which human beings can assess the progress toward their goals. Ancient Philosopher, Aristotle, who studied under Plato, student of Socrates, touts “happiness” as our raison d’être. He is supported by philosophers who taught after he did, by the United States Declaration of Independence which purports the pursuit of Happiness, and by the fleeting American Dream, which ...

Human overpopulation presents one of the most pressing social, political and environmental issues in the modern world, dramatically aggravating the forces behind environmental pollution, global warming, mass extinction, loss of natural habitats and overexploitation of finite natural resources.

Yet, this resource is being depleted at a higher rate than is being replenished. As the human population expands, the amount of fresh water available decreases, which puts the human species at a great danger. It is estimated that by 2030, ...

Sexuality and Christianity - often these two topics are opposed. This is not surprising because the negative attitude towards sexual relations and sex-phobia, fear in relation to sexuality, negative attitudes towards sexuality accompany the entire history of the Christian churches. One theory of the fall of humanity says that the sin of Adam and Eve was that they have entered into a sexual relationship. (Kamitsuka, M.D., 2010, p.26) In turn, the Christian asceticism tried to instill in Christians a feeling of contempt for their own corporeality (by the way, another theory Fall states that "leather garments" that God gave ...

What ethical principles surround the abortion issue? Discuss these principles?

Abortion is referred to the deliberate or forceful action of expulsion/removal of a human fetus from the womb of a woman. The subject of abortion has always been covered in a raging argument about whether abortion should be labeled ethical and voluntary. In order to determine this, one has to understand the underlying principle that surrounds the issues of human abortion. There are many ethical principles that arise from abortion; however, one that is needed to be discussed is that whether fetus removal can be viewed as taking a human life, and whose choice is it to figure out ...

Literature is the reflection of the contemporary society. Early 20th century was generally known as the modernist era in art and literature. The contemporary society was majorly affected by the fatality of World War I and World War II. During the period, the whole generation had become very pessimistic about everything. They were trying to find the meaning of life and their existence due to the political situations and horrified incidents such as holocaust, concentration camps, and the drop of nuclear bombs on Japan. The feeling of nothingness, futility is very strong in contemporary English literature. The literature of ...

The nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century have brought some dramatic changes in all aspects of human life.

Abstract

Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) incidents are a real threat to human life and property in the modern world. CBRNE incidents involve a significantly higher risk as compared to hazardous material (Hazmat) events primarily due to the involvement of terrorist elements. The rapidly increasing risk of terrorism along with a significant increase in nuclear threats considerably elevates the importance of CBRNE preparedness. CBRNE defense involves the readiness, prevention, response, and avoidance of events that may adversely affect human life, health, property, and infrastructure. The United States has training programs and professionals in all divisions of the armed ...

The science-fiction authors are interested in writing about the robots which develop the ability to behave or think like the human being. Isaac Asimov and Brian Aldiss are two of these authors. These authors exaggerate the influence of the robotic contribution to the human life. Even, they try to develop the idea of replacing humans with the robots as relatives more than being a part of productions humans need. I will compare and contrast the two authors’ stories in this paper. The main subject I will discuss is the idea of robots can play an essential role in human ...

Individual Reaction to the Advent of Artificial Intelligence

Introduction Through advancements in science and technology, human beings have managed to create machines that work more or less in the same way as the human brain, performing tasks like mathematical calculations and language translations. This is what has come to be known as Artificial intelligence (AI) which is the kind of intelligence that machines exhibit when certain manipulations and programming is done to them. Some of these machines like the IBM computer, Watson, are capable of mimicking or performing certain cognitive functions that are normally associated with the human brain only. Artificial intelligence research thus deals with problems ...

Deontology is an ethical branch dealing with good activities, duties, and right obligations. It originated from a Greek word deon meaning duty. Abortion makes people take sides thus causing polarization of individuals, especially opportunists such as politicians and the liberals. Liberals and feminists use the utilitarian argument while politicians use the deontological positions. Deontological approach uses moral actions and duties to murder those practicing abortion. However, pregnancy interruption before birth is viewed from different angles and ethical conclusion from different perceptions are allowed from various rights and theories.

Abstract

While power is a secular affair these days, ethics and moral with their connection to religion seem related to what refers to activities associated with the governance of people and territories. Of course, neither of the two provides a comprehensive view of the complex notion of politics, yet both complement the concept with precious meaning. Thus, moral adds an important dimension revealing domestic politics as a set of activities prioritizing social welfare. Furthermore, the perception of governance through the prism of virtuous leaders, as done by ethics scholars, such as al-Farabi, allows people to perceive politics as a unique ...

Human life and survival are connected with the environment. With the changes in the environment, human surroundings appear to undergo an adjustment or modification to continue the life. More probably, some climatic changes tend to interfere with the human life from several corners. These could be lethal or life threatening. For example, climate change might modify the occasional examples and plenitude of irritations and illnesses; in turn, this may influence the use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Reactions will vary in the middle of harvests and between geological areas. There are studies that use of these pesticides within the ...

1) Past events contribute to the present actions of a character: Dr. Manhattan The character Dr. Manhattan is shown as tremendously powerful, with godlike abilities, and has a decreasing capacity to relate to humans. In fact, for most of the story, the character is portrayed as trying to act as a demi-god, but somewhat failing at it, displaying at different times lust, anger, impatience, compassion, and other human traits. I posit the opinion that his aloofness and predetermination belief are not only due to his altered perception of reality – he sees the constituent particles of the universe – or of ...

Personal Paper

This paper is devoted to the issue of such definitions as “identity” and “religion”, what they mean for me and what is their role in my life. In my opinion, an identity is a definition that is worked out to show the social nature of human, considering him as the subject of social and cultural life, identifying him as the bearer of the individual principle, self-expanding in the context of social relations, communication and objective activity. The definition of identity is quite complicated and it changes constantly. At the same time, the definition of “religion” is closely connected with ...
