Over the past decade, there have been ongoing debates about limiting marriage rights for people involved in homosexual relationships or not. The debates rely on the arguments that it is discriminatory to exclude any sorts of people from marriage. Alternatively, extending marriage to homosexuals destroys moral values. The polarization is mainly connected with individual differences: political values, ethnicity, contact with lesbians and gays, and sexual prejudice (Jowett 39). Despite the polarized views, people engaged in homosexual relationships have the right to marry. Nowadays, the population feels more favorable toward civil rights for lesbians and gays. In this regard, supporters ...

Nowadays, the United States of America sets an example of the loyalty towards homosexuality to the rest of the world, but it was not the same at the second part of the twentieth century. During the Presidency of Eisenhower, the country advocated the “American dream” and actively led the Cold War. American government considered everything strange and non-understandable including homosexuality to be a reflection of communism and a threat to traditional American values that needed to be abolished. This paper aims to discuss the reasons for Eisenhower’s hatred towards homosexuals and the ways he waged a fight with ...

Is Torture Permissible?- Deductive Reasoning

Torture is against international human rights (Human Rights Watch, 2012). Torture causes human suffering (Reyes, 2007). Intentional causation of human suffering is immoral. So, torture is immoral (by 1, 2, 3). Immorality is not permissible (by 1). Therefore, torture is not permissible. (by 4 and 5).

Explanation:

The laws against torture are stipulated in The International Human Rights Law which prohibit torture of any kind and during all occasions, including during war (Human Rights Watch, 2012). These laws have been ratified by the United Nations Convention which engaged many countries; this points to a general agreeable position that torture is ...

In the modern world, there has been a trend to redefine the terms and acceptability associated with sexuality. This is perhaps best explicated by the presence of modern-day laws that advertently protect sexuality that is known from the basic laws of nature to be ‘unnatural’. Humanity in the contemporary world has seemingly yet very certainly so, changed the whole concept of sexuality to suit the status quo of modern-day sexuality. Additionally, there is quite a lengthy array of sexual misconduct accorded to humankind by God through the Bible, and that has apparently become a mere ‘conjecture’ to the present ...

In Parts one and Two of Volume One of Michael Foucault’s Philosophy on Sexuality, he analyses and distances himself from what he calls “Repression Hypothesis,” using our desire to analyze and investigate the “science” of our sexual behavior, our need to confess what we deem sexual immorality, and the productive nature of the relationship of sex to power and knowledge, as the key elements of his argument. A definition of “Repression Hypothesis” is necessary for us to understand further why Foucault rejects it. According to American philosopher and University of California, Berkeley professor of Philosophy, Hurbert Dryfus, and ...

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 ...

Introduction

Secular states are based on the need to separate the state from religion. Secular states are neutral and do not support any religion. On the contrary, Islamic countries are based on the need to introduce Islamic law within political systems. Religious laws restrict democracy and respect for freedoms and rights as part of secular states restricted by religious laws. The true political rule should be based on divine laws such as Islamic laws. This discussion is based on case studies of Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966) and Jamal Abd alNasser, Egypt’s Liberation, 1953. In Iran, case studies ...

Nevertheless, the ...

The issue of morality in acting

The Book of Amos

Introduction The Book of Amos is part of the group of twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament. The twelve Minor Prophets were not less significant than the Major Prophets. Their expressions of prophecies were just shorter than the longer and more detailed prophecies of the Major Prophecies (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel) (Keathley, III, 2016, n.p). One could call Amos a pastoral prophet, since he was not in the courts of the kings and of priestly lineage (such as Jeremiah). He was a herdsman, and spent time caring for the sycamore trees as well (Amos 7:14). It is important ...

In Ayn Rand’s version of ethics, called objectivism, the individual is motivated by morality to place his/her individual interests above any others. Rand states the highest moral principle is the attainment of happiness, and that any endeavor that elevates someone or something that the individual does not value is irrational. Sacrificing something or someone of value to self in order to preserve something or someone not of value to self is an act of immorality.

In an example of objectivism, Rand tells the story of a man who has the option to save his wife at the expense of ...

Concerning personal identity my position is similar to that of John Locke. I reject the idea that my personal identity is tied to my soul, as Cartesian theory suggested. I also do not believe that my personal identity is tied to my body. It seems more plausible to me that my personal identity is tethered to my memories because I am a culmination of my experiences. What I have endured, learned, and observed have made me into the person typing this. Memories are what have created my personal identity. My position on the mind and body problem, or that ...

Philosophy

The Divine Command Theory purports that a particular act becomes either moral or not (immoral) on no other basis other than God has commanded that it be done or forbids us from doing that particular act. According to this theory, an action is only made wrong by the fact that God Himself prohibits it’s doing. As seen in the definition, whatever it is that God commands automatically becomes the basic standard of morality, and there exist no other moral values other than what God prescribes for man. The belief that there is no limit whatsoever as to what ...

Introduction

The social behavior of an individual, even though impacted by the norms and outlook of the society, is solely dependent on his or her individual perceptions. Social interaction may include business meetings, meetings with parents, relatives and friends or even meeting a member of the opposite sex to which an individual may feel a special connection or bond. It needs to be highlighted that the kind of interactions and the depth of the relationships are dependent entirely on an individual’s sole perspective. Many a times, questions are asked as to what happens when individuals are not able to identify the thin ...

“There are only two ways in which humankind can produce knowledge: through passive observation or through active experiment.” To what extent do you agree with this statement? The argument whether knowledge can be attained through passive observation or active experiment defines the meaning of knowledge. When you look at two people argue, philosophers argue this is passive knowledge of the argument as you are not actively being engaged in the argument. However, as you argue with your friend, this is defined as active knowledge since you are in a position to experience the argument and get to know something ...

In a country like the USA today, half of the pregnancies formed, especially among young ...

The future of human-kind depends on state’s capacities rights.

Executive Summary

Purpose and Thesis Statement This is a paper that explores how two persons made their lives count in the historical accounts of generations in which they existed. John Wesley who lived in the 18th century engaged in actions that many look back to and this seems to have motivated actions of later persons ready to learn from his endurance and diligence with enthusiasm as did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The paper argues that most of the significant changes that people desire in society can be achieved through dedicated efforts of few rather than uncommitted ones of many.

Shakespeare is remembered as a legendary play writer. Most of his works are defined as tragic plays which results in the untimely death of the main characters. The main characters in his plays meet their “tragic” death through breaking the norms of the society, “Vienna and Verona”. Fornication and adultery are sexual crimes that trigger mixed reactions in a society, some debates on the person who ought to be punished, the lady or the man or both? However, what causes a greater storm is the acceptable form of punishment for the offenders. While some societies have “friendly” punishments, others punish the sex ...

The story of Samuel, the thirteenth judge in ancient Israel, overlaps with that of some of ancient Israel’s most famous and first kings: Saul, David and Solomon. The reason is that Samuel was the last of the judges-rulers who governed ancient Israel before the era of the Kings began. Some of the Bible’s most popular narratives revolve around him: including that of Eli and his own mother Hannah. Samuel’s father, Elkanah, had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Hannah was childless and apparently incapable of bearing, whilst Peninnah had children. Elkanah used to go to offer sacrifices ...

Politics is intricately intertwined with power and influence.

In the antiquity and the middle ages, power was concentrated to the aristocrats and monarchs. It was left out to the rich and well-of in the society.

The modern practices and belief systems are traceable to ancient societies. These modern societies are a product of the evolution of the ancient civilizations through a period spanning many centuries.

The modern social systems in art, fashion, religion, language, science, economy and political administration have their foundation in the ancient ideologies. One of the ancient civilizations that have a profound effect to the modern society is the ancient Mesopotamia. Through its successive insightful and visionary leaders, it emerged as ...

A secular society is one which seeks and maintains a tendency of independent from religious inclinations. As such institutions and the government under a secular society are usually free from religious influence most probably to avoid bias. Humans however are religious beings that have the will and discretion to belong to any mode of worship or follow any religious doctrine of choice. A secular society gives freedom for individuals to do whatever they will and many religions find this almost unacceptable. Secularism however still thrives especially where there are many religions pitting individuals to get spoilt for choice or even doubting ...

Imagine a teacher killing his or her student and then making the claim that this action was not only the morally permissible thing to do in the circumstances, but that acting in any other way would have been immoral.

A wave of religious revivalism swept over the United States in the 1820s and 1830s which led to increased calls for temperance and other perfection movements like abolition of slavery. By the turn of the century, women played a huge role in the temperance which occurred in 1920s and 1930s.

Nearly all the parents in the modern world advocate for better and quality education to their children. Prevalently, parents perceive education as a tool and ladder of success for their kids. Due to this, several modes of learning have been initiated. First is home schooling; this situation whereby the students are taught at home by either their parents or tutors. On the other hand, there is public schooling, which is a situation whereby, students of almost the same age group are confined in a classroom.

PHILOSOPHY

I may define Morality as codes of conduct that are put together by a society, group of people or even religion. These codes are meant to enhance good co-existence with one another in that particular setting. Each individual is at least linked to some moral values set either by their authority or even by their religion. Without morals, indeed the world would not be a worthy place to be as there will be friction among people that may eventually lead to fights and wars. I thus totally agree with Pojman’s perception on the importance of a society having its moral values ...
