Due to this, people will feel the need to partly objectify others and vice versa. This is the phenomenon Sartre alludes to when arguing that being-for-others is characterized by conflict; that is, people are always in a subject-object relationship with the Other (Stevens, 2008). Even though Sartre canvasses human relationships in negative terms, people desire others’ presence, especially the objectification associated with their presence. From the discussion above, one can deduce that the presence of the Other is vital, considering people cannot discover their identity, which can be very unsatisfying. However, the presence of other people gives individuals a foundation to learn and anchor their identity (Stevens, 2008). Essentially what this means is that people can use the relationships they have with others to discover the identity they do not have and cannot provide to themselves. Other people’s existence serves as the foundation for individuals’ being. In a person’s journey towards self-discovery,

  1. Choose 5 DIFFERENT CASE STUDIES (these can be those we discuss or those we don’t; as long as they are from the TEXT, any case study will work).
  2. You are to analyze ALL 5 of the case studies using ONLY ONE of the following ethical theories: Kantian Deontology, Utilitarianism, Nozick’s theory, virtue ethics, Rawls’ theory, or Marxism.
  3. Make sure you provide a paragraph that accurately describes the theory you will be using.
  4. Make sure you describe the case study before you apply the theory.
  5. Provide a general assessment of the paper.
  6. Avoid using phrases like: “In my opinion,” “I believe,” “Ethics is difficult and not certain, so it is hard to tell if this ethical theory is right or not.” This is an ETHICS course, so don’t do or say anything in your ETHICS PAPER that would undermine ethics as a discipline. Further, you are making an ARGUMENT in this paper, as such there is no room for “personal opinions” or “feelings.” Just turn those opinions and feelings into statements of fact.

Voyages into space are celebrated all around the world. The United States is one of the countries that has managed to organize successful expeditions into space. Despite this, the country has had its fair share of disastrous voyages, with the most catastrophic one being the Challenger’s explosion barely one minute after taking off. According to Wall (2016), traveling to and from space poses numerous risks and dangers. Wall (2016) argues that the Challenger disaster was the first of its ilk in the country. Several wrong decisions played a pivotal role in this disaster. According to Wall (2016), the mission was affected by launch fever, as people struggled to get this mission going on time and get other missions going. This approach contributed to the Challenger disaster. Wall (2016) points out that the shuttle exploded due to the failure of the rubber O-ring seal located on the right-hand solid rocket booster. This failure allowed hot gas to escape and destroy the orbiter’s external fuel tank and the gears attaching the booster to the tank. Wall (2016) posits that several flaws characterized the decision to launch the shuttle.

The theory recommends breaking down complex classroom instructional information, designing clear instructions, as well as offering scaffolding to mitigate extraneous load and improve learning (Paas & van Merriënboer, 2020).

Besides the lessons I integrated into my teaching philosophy, this course also taught me the value of experiential learning. The practice focuses on providing hands-on experiences, real-world application, and reflection during classroom instruction (Cohen & Henry, 2019). As such, I can integrate this into my teaching to improve student’s learning outcomes and success in their future personal and professional lives (Cohen & Henry, 2019).

Aesthetics

/in /by

8 to 10-page paper covers a topic of philosophy; Aesthetic. The paper will be written in APA Style 7th Edition with title page, narrative, and reference page. I chose this topic because I believe that everything has some type of beauty and someone’s trash is another mans treasure. I also believe that everyone shows emotions even when they do not think that they are, we cannot go a day without expressing some form of emotion.

Requirements: 8-10 pages

 

this was my discussion response, I hope this helps!

  1. Does an object have aesthetic value only if it serves some function? Are art objects valuable in themselves, without any functions? Explain.

I do not think that an object can only have aesthetic value only if it serves some sort of function. But I do believe that all objects have a function. The function of Art work is for the artist to express themselves and showcase their talents. Along with the people buying said art work, the function is to add personality to where ever they place the art work. Name one thing that does not in some form or way have a function to our lives? Nose hair, can be an object, the function is to help prevent bacteria from getting inside our bodies.

  1. Is it possible to rationally examine an object, person, or thing devoid of emotion/feeling? If so, how so or how not?

I do not believe that you can examine an object, person or thing and devoid of emotion and feeling. I think that we as humans, even when we try not to show emotion or feeling that no matter we do. With that being sad I believe that we can not rationally examine something without some sort of emotion or feeling. For example, you look at a piece of art and someone ask “you how do you feel about this art piece? ” In which you respond ” I don’t know”, but who says that the feeling of not knowing isn’t a feeling? And if they did why cannot be? Not knowing something to me is just as much as a feeling or emotion as any other typical feeling or emotion. Just like when people say they want to be “normal”, well ok, but what exactly is “normal”? My normal is not the same as your normal, so how we do define someone’s feelings when they use the expression ” I don’t know”. I just feel as almost it is impossible to not have or show some type of feeling or emotion, it is as if it is in our human nature. Those feelings and emotions are what define us and help people understand who we are just like those art pieces and object etc., by explaining what you believe their value is and how you see them.

One of the 18th-century philosophers who examined the concept of aesthetics was the Earl of Shaftesbury. He came up with a vital distinction that still holds water today. Shaftesbury distinguished between enjoying something due to the benefit it brings them and enjoying something for the sake of it, or rather just because it should be enjoyed (Townsend, 2013). Shaftesbury dealt with the question of how is it that a person’s experience can be both subjective and, to some extent, also objective and universal. He argued that the world’s beauty and people’s creations push a person’s mind towards a greater appreciation of the beauty of the creation and its creator (Townsend, 2013). David Hume took a different approach when dealing with the same issue. Hume did away with the concept of the creator of beauty, arguing that people move with their imagination towards recognizing some utility, irrespective of whether this recognition is accurate or not.

4. Based on your readings in this section, what is Hedonism?

5. Based on your readings in this section, what is the primary motive of human behavior, according to the Greek Skeptics?

Answer preview

Socrates is considered the father of Western ethics, and he explores the concept and the reason behind doing good and evil. In his theory, Socrates posits that people indulge in wrong actions due to ignorance. He claims that there is only one good, knowledge, and one bad; ignorance, whereby knowledge is regarded as self-awareness; therefore, people who do bad indulge in such acts unintentionally. This is so because Socrates claims that if people knew the right thing to do, they would not be associated with doing bad things. In his argument, people will always do the things they believe will produce positive effects; however, due to ignorance, people end up doing bad things. If people who do bad things were aware of their actions, they would not do the wrong things. Thus, these people do bad things because they believe it is good for them. People will choose the actions they deem to be good for them in the same way; people who do bad things believe that what they are doing is good, despite their efforts being evil.

Requirements: five-page (single-spaced)

 

 please let me know what case you’ll choose.

Answer preview

Aristotle is another renowned philosopher who waded into the discourse about punishment and Mercy. Aristotle used “Nicomachean Ethics” to discuss virtue and justice, advancing the school of thought that punishment should be proportional or commensurate to an individual’s offense (Metz & Metz, 2022). According to Aristotle, justice entails ensuring every person gets what is due to them (Metz & Metz, 2022). Aristotle also posited that punishment serves two purposes. First, it seeks to deter people from embracing harmful actions. Second, it aims to restore the balance of justice disrupted by harm or offense (Metz & Metz, 2022). As such, to ensure these objectives are attained, Aristotle argues that the punishment leveled for an offense should be commensurate to the seriousness of the offense. Aristotle’s conceptualization of proportionate punishment was informed by the desire to promote equity and fairness (Metz & Metz, 2022). According to Aristotle, individuals should be perceived and treated as per their actions and moral culpability (Metz & Metz, 2022). By suggesting this, Aristotle was acknowledging that varying offenses cause varying levels of harm and have different moral significance. In line with this, punishment must be tailored to reflect the seriousness of the offense as well as the severity of the harm imposed by those affected by it (Metz & Metz, 2022). Aristotle’s emphasis on proportional punishment also considers the notion of deterrence. By guaranteeing that the punishment leveled for an offense matches its severity and harm, likely offenders will be dissuaded from perpetrating similar actions due to the apprehension of dealing

Write two paragraphs regarding the German system and how it’s clearly based on a different philosophy of human nature because the conditioning techniques they use are quite different in many ways from the style of behaviorism practiced here in the U.S. prison system. Your first paragraph should be 4-6 sentences long and explain what you think are the three most important differences in how the German system treats its prisoners compared to the system we have here in the United States. This paragraph should reference direct and specific examples from the video clip. In your second paragraph of 4-6 sentences offer your overall impression and opinion after watching the video. What do you like and dislike about their system? Do you think it could work well here in the U.S.?

This youtube is necessary to view: The German prison program that inspired Connecticut – YouTube

Requirements: 1-2 Pages

Answer preview

Germany relies mostly on fines and community-based sentencing and not prison sentencing. That is why many German prisons are not crowded. Unlike the U.S, some people have spent years in prison awaiting trial, and that’s why prisons are overcrowded with no leisure time. Separating prisoners from their family members is traumatizing already, and therefore, German prisons try as much as possible to make them feel at home.

From the video, I can say that Germans treat treats prisoners with a lot of humanity so that they don’t stress the correctional officers. Their use of weekend gate-away and rehabilitation helps them recover in a way that will be easy to interact with the community

Psychological egoism

/in /by

Egoism is a broad ethical doctrine that claims moral decisions are (and, in some cases, should be) made in self-interest. At the opposite end of the spectrum would be Altruism (also sometimes called benevolence), which states that decisions can (and, in some cases should) be completely selfless. Hobbes argues that even apparently altruistic acts can be viewed through egoism (as selfish) in that a person may gain a good feeling or some other benefit by helping others. His opponents would argue that this is a pessimistic or negative worldview. What do you think? Do you believe moral decisions/actions can be selfless? Or are all of our decision made with at least some self-interest in mind? Whatever your opinion, explain your reasoning.

Answer preview

the driver’s behavior is altruistically motivated (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2020). The driver’s actions show genuine care towards the children’s wellbeing. Hence, I acknowledge that an individual’s actions can be selfless due to the intuitive nature of kindness and helping others improve their welfare. Being selfless is a choice an individual makes for the good and wellbeing of others. However, these actions may not be merely right to others, but this does not prevent the altruistic individuals from being charitable.

Logical fallacies

Tittle: Fallacies to Persuade and Possibly Manipulate
Choose Topic: Philosophy
Number of Pages: 1

Question Description: (GerMeka)
W3: Fallacies to Persuade and Possibly Manipulate
Goal: Observe how logical fallacies are used to persuade and at times, manipulate.

Course Objectives: CO2

Description:

Advertisements exist to sell you a product. It might be soap, music, political positions, or ideas. Most advertisements use a variety of logical fallacies to persuade but some use them to subtlety or overtly manipulate the intended audience.

Find an ad. You don’t have to repeat the entire ad, only enough to familiarize us with it…

(1) name the fallacy it commits

(2) define the fallacy and

(3) explain in detail how this ad is an example of this fallacy.

Perform the given exercise to understand it better.

Example:

The appeal to ignorance is a fallacy based on the assumption that a statement must be true if it cannot be proven false — or false if it cannot be proven true.

An ad claims that “Nobody has ever proved to me that Shrest Whitening Strips are harmful” which erroneously implies that you know they aren’t.
– Review the list of logical fallacies in your content and study the ads presented.

– Select at least two (2) ads that you feel represent two (2) different logical fallacies.

– Determine how the language and images of the ads appeal to the consumer; identify the kinds of fallacies being used; and describe what needs or insecurities the ads are trying to reach.

– Explain the ads’ effectiveness.

Answer preview

Customers will tend to purchase the products since the ad shows the threat’s possibility and offers a solution to prevent the risk. This is a logical fallacy since it is based on the assumption that a particular threat or risk can occur to the customer even if there is no evidence of its existence. An ad example of a home security company presents a robber breaking into a house with only children in an aired commercial. This ad creates fear in parents that their children can be attacked when left alone at home. The company presents its products as a solution to the fear.
