Essays on Trolley

The chosen example of nonverbal communication is the ad of Pepsi. The ad shows a girl with a trolley full of boxes of Pepsi and some boxes of Pepsi under it; it seems that they just did not go in the trolley and fell out. One can say that the girl buys the beverages to go to the party, and such image is achieved through her physical appearance. As far as drinking Pepsi is typically associated with the fun and pleasant amusement, the message of the ad is based on the physical attractiveness of the model. She is tall ...

Introduction

Human society has been based on mere moral factors that are the basis of governing the behavioral aspect of any particular society. However, it is quite intriguing to look into the doctrine of doing and allowing and this basically narrows down to the moral threshold that has been set forth in any particular society. Therefore, this brings to light the concept of whether, there is a fatual difference between actually being the perpetrator and carrying out the particular act or being a mere observer and letting the particular harm escalate among the people. Moreover, based on the doctrine of ...

Thinking big and taking control of most of the space on the board is the key to win the GO game. The game rightly typifies the Chinese strategy of taking control of most of the market segment across the world. Unlike, GO that requires a broad long-term thinking, Chess concentrates on a single point. In other words, Chess teaches the importance of short-term alternative thinking skills. Also, the game of GO has the advantage of flexible thinking; flexibility is always advantageous for a world player like China that believes in understanding the local situations before exploring new opportunities. The ...

1. The Chinese board game of GO is entirely different from the Western game of Chess. No doubt, both games involve a high deal of strategic thinking to make each move in response to the progress of the opponent; however, unlike Chess that aims at a single point or attacking the king to win, one wins a Go game on getting a competitive edge over the other. In other words, extinction of the opponent is not the aim of the ancient Chinese game. This reflects the Chinese business value of winning a comfortable position in the market crowded with ...

The main belief behind the theory of self-defense as given by Judith Jarvis Thomson rests on the phenomena that a person must become liable to be attacked if somebody else is threatened by him/her considering that he/she is violating the rights of the defender who must not be attacked. Moreover, Judith also assumes that everyone as a human has a fundamental right that must be respected of not being attacked by the other person, but if this right is being violated then the other person loses this right of protection for himself. This means that if a person is being threatened of right ...

The renowned Steel Bridge is a double deck structure that has a vertical-lift and is also known as through-truss. It goes across the Willamette River in the city of Portland in the United States and was opened in 1912, so it recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. The bridge has the dual function of carrying rail and bicycle traffic on its lower deck whilst the upper deck is dedicated to road traffic. This innovative arrangement makes the bridge extremely innovative and the fact that it has an independent lift continues to emphasise its prominence as the second oldest vertical lift bridge in ...

Cranes have contributed to the rise of civilization for many years in the construction industry. The ancient Greeks invented the first crane sometime in the sixth century as a tool to lift massive loads. According to Chiu (42), such evidence that points to the use of cranes by the Greeks can be found on distinct holes that are visible on stones, which indicate the use of a form of lifting mechanism. Back in those days, the basic features of the crane included an elongated wooden beam, which was attached to a rotating base and a rope attached around a drum that was driven by a ...

E-Business: The product

E-Business is one of the strategies in the twenty first centuries that have been successful, especially in connecting with and accessing the international markets. This is due to the fact that the simple transaction will only involve sending of money for the products that the customers’ desire and this will include shipping cost (Kotler & Armstrong, 2008). This is the reason why we have adopted it as our system of operation and customer servicing for our bathroom and bedroom equipment. These are the products that our company is offering to the market. Through our website, the customers will shop through ...

Psychological explanations tend to consider the factors that lead different people to their preferred answers and why different people are sensitive different contexts of the question. They answer why people answer the questions the way they do. According to John Mikhail, the answers given in the Trolley Problem were not dependent on factors such as age, gender, educational background or cultural background. He argued that people were guided by a certain “moral grammar” which was unconscious, and this gave the answers consistency in spite of other factors. Moral explanations focus on the rightness or wrongness of the issue at hand. ...

Discussion 1

I agree with the majority of people regarding these cases. It’s more acceptable to sacrifice someone in the Switch Dilemma because both the group of five people and the single person who were tied to the tracks were already in the same predicament, that is, they were all tied to the tracks. As such, if given a choice on who to save, then the principle of Utilitarian ethics can be applied in that the choice should be based on the consequences. In particular, the choice should be the one that leads to the most people benefitting from the choice. ...

Today there are two different headlines over the news that seem to give opposite information. One common headline tells us that peak oil has been reached and oil is not going to last forever. The story under the headline usually gives information about living a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle by switching to alternative fuels. On the other hand, there are other headlines declaring that there is plenty of oil because petroleum companies are taking advantage of deep sea drilling and sand tars. Our science courses tell us that there is only so much fossil fuel because the amount depends upon ...

Problem Statement - What are the accelerations produced by varying forces on a given mass? Hypothesis - If the force on a cart with a constant mass is decreased, then the acceleration will be greater

In this experiment Newton’s second law of linear motion was being investigated. A cart was connected by a ticker tape and a ticker timer used to get the velocity and time. The hypothesis was that a decrease of the force on a cart with a constant mass results in greater acceleration. This is because removal of certain masses results in an equivalent resultant force, hence more resultant force causes more ...

Introduction

Reconstruction of the Thomson’s Argument In the speeding trolley incident distribution of bad is less when one person dies and five people live. The points of this argument are is it allowable for Edward to turn the Trolley on the one man and the UN acceptability of George to shove the fat man off the bridge. If Edward continued on the path that the trolley was on he would have killed five and the fat man would have lived but for a good distribution of bad one had to die and five live. This presents the first premise ...

Abstract

Currently, it has been assumed that with the declining prevalence of racism and seemingly reduced rate of bullying in the neighborhood, schools in the United States of America are no longer affected by the negative vices of bullying, whether based on the race, gender or otherwise. In this regard, it is further assumed that the counselors within the schools have the ability to eliminate bullying within the schools. However, there is a very great difference between the reality and the assumptions taken so far. In addition, there are several reports on studies that have been developed with an aim of ...
