Final discussion

For that season, I would make water become a phantom thief in order for my children and my egotism to know an easier life. In addition, having unlimited m geniusy, could kick in been more forgeive in my kids life by non having to work two jobs that made me so tired. Miserably, when I did see them I still was b bely in that location, and we were still broke. As a result, sometimes did not even gravel to attri howevere my kids to bed, or wake them up in the morning, as I was each already gone to work or not national yet. Nevertheless, with the super power of the aura I could keep back given them everything they needed or wanted (within reason).For instance, I could eve afforded to buy completely my childrens aim pictures, along with, not having to say no to things such as, field trips, birthday parties, or even unexampled shoes. This analogy is an example of psychological egoism because of my inspiration of self-regard (Mackinac, 2012). What I mean is our life was unen viable but we would have made it without the ring but my maternal retrieveing would have wanted a better life for my kids and myself. Consider that the normative theory, ethics of c ar, comes into play in this situation because it was my duty to earmark us with a better life.However, if had the same opportunity today, loud not take the ring. instantaneously agnise it is against my personal ethics of what is right and what is wrong due to my firm be pillowfs of my religion. Or do you not go to sleep that the unrighteous depart not inherit the kingdom of perfection? Do not be deceived incomplete the sexuall(a)y immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justify in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 9-11, n. D. ) The word o f God is the theory I live by, and it makes me happy to know my moral reasoning will result in eternal peace. As Kant believes, a key point is the expansion of positive predispositions to act in a bad-tempered manner will empower us to ensure a virtue without difficulty (Mackinac, 2012). In this elbow room, the rules commanded to us in the Bible are the laws ought to govern my life by because they are good. Plain and simple. For this reason, in that location is no chance that I would take the ring, as I would be in fear of it leading(p) me to do things I normally would not do.Moreover, I do not want to eel the shame accordd with, not being just. As a final point, in the video, ethics Ill 3 Ring of Edges, it is verbalize that Glaucoma clams that no one is just willingly. He also believes doing wrong is naturally good and will ultimately make you happy. Accordingly, he also accepts as truth that a person is also doing their self an iniquity if they are against doing wrong beca use nothing good will come of being fair. As wholesome as for Socrates, I disagree with Glaucoma, and do trust that acting just is good. 1 Corinthians 69-11. (n. D. ). hunch over ye not that the unrighteous shallRetrieved from http//view.

But morally I would never attenuate someone to et there. In reading The Ring of Edges by Plato, Edges was a very unjust person and I hope that by me being a just person that all that power would not knock over me unjust and throw all my morals and virtues out the window. Chri plosive consonanther French Email Author NEE Discussion Week 2 Thread 1 think most people would honestly say that they would be compelled to use the ring.From a feminist condole with ethic perspective (Mackinac, 201 2), would attempt to use the ring for good. I would want to use it to value the innocent and those who jackpotnot protect themselves. I would feel had a responsibility to protect society from evil. I would also carry the responsibility of ensuring the ring does not fall into the wrong hands. I would like to say that would be prudent to resist the temptation to use the ring for the wrong reasons. It is gentle nature for us to be tempted and to make the wrong choices. Could have good intentions, yet make all the wrong decisions.When we stop and think or so from a legalistic point of view, even Robin Hood, who stole from the well-situated to give to the poor, had a moral dilemma. up to now though Robin Hood had good intentions and gave the money he stole to the poor, he was still erring and that is morally wrong (Mackinac, 2012). loud like to think I am a virtuous person, but I am only human and human are not without sin. We endure relate the power and temptation of the ring to ecstasy and Eve and their fall into sin. Adam and Eve wer e virtuous and without sin. Then they were tempted by the knowledge of good and evil.They knew that the knowledge was forbidden, yet they fell into temptation anyways. I am sure they had good intentions, but with that knowledge and power comes responsibility and consequences (Mackinac, 2012 Genesis 31-814 (King James Version)). References Mackinac, B. (2012). Ethics Theory and contemporary issues (Concise 2nd d. deed. ). Boston, MA Coinage Learning. Hi Christopher. practiced Post. I certainly appreciated your correlation of the ring in the last paragraph. It is a pity that the nonplus tempted Adam and Eve. If they had not, we could have been forever free of sin and always joyful.Indeed, the world is paying for their consequences. However, we know the parenthood of Jesus Christ is a filter that can enable us to live someday in the presence of our Almighty Lord, along with only peace, love and happiness. In your first paragraph, you compare your morality to that of womanly care eth ics. I too feel that it is important and my duty, to defend the innocent and feeble. Think it is admirable that you wrote from this viewpoint. As we read in our book, the psychologist Carol Gilligan led discussions that showed that both men and women depict their ethical views differently.It also delineate that no man in the study focused on the dilemma of pity. This caring philosophy considers the virtues of lenity and kindness in the context of personal relatedness and how their affiliation will be inclined to a particular action. (Mackinac, 2012). On the new(prenominal) hand, this survey also showed not all women followed this morality. In this interview, think if participated I would have been one of these women. Although I agree with these some of these caring principles, tend to think more in term of universal ethics, as do men. In this way, men are more inclined to talk in terms of fairness and justice and rights. (p 68) Also, I sense that if all nations were charted by unbiased laws that put all people on equal grounds, we could live in a more productive and serene society. (Mackinac, 2012). My disbelief to you is, do you primarily associate yourself with the understandings of caring ethics or do you also relate to other principles like me? deed. deed. ). Boston, MA Coinage Learning I would have to say that I primarily associate myself with the caring ethic. Since childhood, have always care about and for others. During lofty take aim, was involved in several affectionate justice projects.I also spent several hours a week babysitting, which is not that common for males to do. After high school, decided enjoyed working with children. Began studying early childhood education. Also took additional course work in human development. I am currently a child development major here at Walden University with a concentration in psychology. I plan on doing graduate work in every school psychology or school counseling and eventually work with elementary a nd middle school children. I am currently training to be a first responder (Emergency Medical Responder) and am also planning on getting C.E. R. T. Certified as well (Citizen Emergency Response Team). Even though I am currently not a teacher in a cosmos school system, I love working with children and teaching them. Yesterday, drove about 30 miles to a friends family line to spend the afternoon and evening with their children teaching them science. I have also worked with a few home school families teaching various subjects to children grades K-8. I worked in a child care concentre caring for children from infancy through school age. Unfortunately, I found it to be a very hostile environs to work in. As the only male teacher amongst about 50 women. The executive director did not think men had any business working with children. From the first day I worked in that center the executive director did everything in her power to get rid of me. Finally about two eld later, the board me mbers of the center voted to fire me simply because they got tired of listening to the executive director complain about me. Christopher, you write very well My mother was an MET in the early asss. N fact, she became the first paid women paramedical in Prince William County Virginia, a suburb of Washington DC.Then she worked as a paid paramedic in the regulate of Columbia, where she was retired because she broke her back on the job. Remember how more than she loved her job, helping people, it hurt her to have to stop working. Good luck with your training Also, commend your love of children, too bad there are not more people like you having so much interest in wanting to nurture our children. What an encouragement you are. Alt sounds like those people who brought you done, lost a good thing Joana Wilkins Email Author I grew up taught to be respectful, not to lie, or steal.Like many of you this is how we were taught by our parents or by the person(s) who was in our lives as we gre w up. This is our ethical egoism, what we ought to do, how we ought to act (Mackinac, 201 3, p. 25). I grew up also looking up to my Mom. She went back to school as an adult with kids. She became a nurse, someone who helps another person during an illness/sickness. She always put others a aim of her. I admired this and want to be this. As a nurse I do put others in front of me. I love to help and heal others. I work in extremity medicine for his reason. The front line of the hospital.I love to get the sickest people in and to be able to steady them and get them to the floor feeling better and on the right road to healing. As a Catholic, I do believe in Karma. What goes around, comes around. So with that being utter, would not use the ring. I dont think could keen this. I would love to be able to be debt free, know what others know, but what is all that charge? Is it worth having the knowledge you did wrong? You may think it is k because you can get away with it, but it is not. To steal, lie to get what you want is never k. I know there are people UT there that do this but do they have the respect they deserve?I dont think so. The question regarding can you use the ring for good? I don t think that you can use it as a Robin Hood type story. You are still stealing and possibly lying to get things for others. If you could imagine any one obtaining this power of becoming invisible, and never doing any wrong or touch modality what was anothers, he would be thought by the lookers-on to be a most wretched idiot, although they would praise him to one anothers faces, and keep up appearances with one another from a fear that they too might suffer injustice (Plato, n. ).

The republic, 2012), it presented the idea of using a magical ring to become invisible. If I were given something like this to do something without being caught I would honestly say I would not steal or do anything mean or half-baked.In fact I probably would be that person to do nice things without anyone knowing. I am no one who likes to be in the spot light and like people to know what I have I done. I believe my rewards come from someone much higher and thats the reward I want not someone knowing that something was done for them so they can keep talking about it. There are many times in life where I may have had a situation to do something bad or not get caught doing it but I didnt choose those paths, they would lead to nothing but darkness.There are many celebrities who have done crazy things and must have thought they would get away with it or even et wrote off just because they were a celebrity but they w ere caught and brought to justice like anyone else. Dear Kimberly and ALL Care Ethics and gender differences in ethical perspectives Kimberly This is a powerful personal testimony of spiritual growth. It reminded me of an enthralling book by V. Hog, slight Miserable. Perhaps you read it or watched the Hollywood musical with the same title. It was released in 2012.Its heroic and noble protagonist, dungaree Vallejo, became a prisoner after stealing a loaf of bread to help his family. This act represent him not only the loss of reputation, but also moral and physical sufferings. On one occasion, he stole again from a priest who gave him shelter. The priest, knowing the real cause of his crime, testified on Jean Baleens behalf. This act of kindness became a turning point in Jean Baleens story, leading him on the path of a noble life. Do you think that the female and male ethical perspectives on The Ring of Edges will be alike?Would Care Ethics, on the contrary, advocate their signif icant differences? Hi Dry. Workman, Funny you asked this question. I did a humble survey on Tuesday of men and women, from church and my neighbors. I told them of the story of The Ring of Edges then I asked if they assessed the ring would they steal money, and if they did, what would they do with it. There was a total of ten people, sestet women and four men. Firstly, cardinal of the six women agreed that they would not take the ring to steal, but would take it and do good deeds similar to helping others in need, without anyone knowing.Suitably, these women showed characteristics of care. Similarly, one woman said she would have no problem stealing because no one would know, and her family could use the money. Aptly, this dilemma shows her caring morals. Also, two of the women whom I talked to at Church aid if they acquired the ring, they would extirpate it because they ought to not let the ring tempt them to steal because it is wrong. Showing, they had deontological morals as t he Bible tells them stealing is bad. Now for the men. ace out of the four men said they would not do it for the same reason as the three women. Then, two said they would take the ring and steal as much as they could for themselves, and use it live it up with their friends. They pretty much said to hell with everyone else, as they would not know, selfishly showing signs of self-egoism. Next, One man said he would use the money to aka care of his ailing mother, and then take care of others, such as the Church and other family members. This premise shows his caring morals.So to answer your first question, I am predicting yes they could have comparable perceptions, depending on that persons particular reasoning or aspects of human character, rather than assumed male or female qualities. (Mackinac, 2012). To answer your second question, if the norms were the same as say 50 years or more ago would say that yes Care Ethics would show significant differences between male and female. Appropr iately, it is said that elatedness is the framework that forms female decisions. Mainly due to the fact they were nurtured and sheltered closely by their mother.
