The concept of crime and justice in the West ends up based on the individualistic concept in which units for examination are individuals.

1. Task one critically reflect on the meaning of the flowing sentence " the key to seeing these infant initial seeking and feeding behaviors is to permit both mothers and baby to be calm, relaxed and interacting with each other, with no other agenda"

There are many factors which influence an infants feeding behavior and most of these factors are determined by the mother. Failure to maintaining a conducive environment for a child’s feeding behavior may result to poor feeding and hence child malnutrition. Once this occurs, the infant is prone to illnesses that are nutrition related. It is therefore the ...

The theory of the continental drift was proposed by the German geographer and geologist Alfred Wegener on basis of the accumulated scientific facts. He formulated the first scientific theory of the slow continental drift in 1912. He mentioned the numerous similarities in the geological structure of the continents and the generality of the fossilized flora and fauna in the geological past. The weighty proof also was the coincidence of the climate in the distant geological eras.
Alfred Wegener was born on first of November in 1880 in the center of Brooklyn in the family of the famous scientist. ...

Why, according to Descartes, is sensory imagination neither necessary nor sufficient for objective knowledge? Should Kant make us think again?

Descartes considered sensory imagination neither necessary nor sufficient for objective knowledge. His conviction that “sensation” and “imagination” are not dependable sources of knowledge. Only reason or understanding can be trusted. Descartes believed that reason is the principal source of knowledge. (Markie, 2012, p. 1) Descartes likened imagination and knowledge with the idea of the two suns. According to Descartes, there are two distinct ideas of a sun inside his mind. The first one is drawn out of his sense and it is just a small sun. The second sun is very large, more than the size of the earth. This idea ...

Analysis of Ethical Dilemma: Embryo Harvesting, Freezing and Genetic Manipulation – A Case of Posthumous Conception
Introduction
Nursing practice has evolved greatly from just offering care to patients who are physically sick to include family and community care. Technology has enhanced nursing practice and made possible things that seemed impossible years back. For instance it is now possible to preserve fertility through semen cryopreservation in which sperms are harvested and stored in frozen form. Such sperms can be thawed and used for artificial insemination. While such technological developments have many applications, they have many unresolved ethical issues that ...

This submission begins by first briefly describing who Socrates was and his contribution to philosophy. This submission would then move to highlight Socrates’ conception of democracy and describe from various aspects, his view of democracy with regards to whether democracy is wrong and offensive or right and useful. The paper then moves to highlight some of the key challenges to his conception of democracy as well as some of the criticisms by other philosophers and give the positions of those critics. This submission submits that Socrates conception hence his understanding of democracy was that the same was inefficient, ineffective ...

R. Williams’ Analysis of the Conformation of the Bloomsbury Group

Contemporary culture has exalted the individual over society. Nevertheless, this relation is not simple because individuals are immersed in society and form it. Raymond Williams has examined this problematic by analyzing the Bloomsbury fraction in his book Problems in Materialism and Culture: Selected Essays. Williams is basically concerned with how to describe this cultural group, as it purported not to be integrated by people that shared an ideological system, but that were friends. This cultural group allows him to develop his thesis, wherein the modern social consciousness is based on a conception of the individual as being free and civilized. ...

Analysis of Ethical Dilemma: A Case of Posthumous Conception – Interview and Recommendations

Introduction
Technological advancements have made it possible for people to have children long after they are dead. Posthumous conception occurs due to the possibility of harvesting and storing sperms and ovum. However, the practice comes with numerous legal and ethical challenges and has far reaching implications socially and morally. To understand the situation better, we interviewed four stakeholders regarding the issue of embryo harvesting, freezing genetic manipulation and posthumous conception. The experts who were interviewed are, Mrs. Jameson, a Nurse practitioner specializing in family care and chair of a hospital ethics committee, Mr. McCay, a lawyer who specializes on family law, ...

Introduction
The work of Charles Baudelaire had a significant contribution on the concept of modernism particularly in his essay “The Painter of Modern Life”. Baudelaire’s influence on modernism was constructed from his criticism of art and urban space where he seeks for inherent beauty within the bustling landscape and transitional urban spaces. Before the publication of his work, Paris, France is undergoing a major industrialization phase, which served as a theatre for Baudelaire to redefine the context of modernism conveyed in his controversial verse (Tuman, 2010). The discussion explores the conception of urban modernism including the ways in ...

In “The Postmodern Condition” Jean Francois Lyotard defines post-modernity as “Incredulity towards metanarratives”. In outlining Lyotard's position as elaborated in this essay, it is evident that his work focuses primarily on the possibility of achieving what he calls a “unity of experience”. In order to understand his conception of this idea it is necessary to first assess his view of society in relation to the modern world. Postmodern culture demonstrates “a radical break, both with a dominant culture and aesthetic, and with a rather different moment of socioeconomic organization” (Lyotard, 1990, p. vii). This demonstrates a fundamental shift ...

Introduction

Abortion refers to the “termination of pregnancy before fetal viability” (Littleton and Engebretson 508). In this definition, a ‘viable fetus’ refers to one that has thrived for at least twenty weeks after conception. Abortion can broadly be classified into two categories:
1. Spontaneous Abortion: Also known as a miscarriage, this type of abortion refers to the termination of pregnancy without human interference (naturally) (Littleton and Engebretson 508).
2. Induced Abortion: This refers to “termination of pregnancy before fetal viability by medical or surgical intervention” (Littleton and Engebretson 508). This category can further be subdivided into two subcategories:
(i) Therapeutic ...

Liberty or freedom as a primary social, political and economic ideal which should be strived for is a relatively recent development in world history. The idea that the individual should be the primary subject and that individual freedom is a universal good and something which determines the quality of life and the quality or lack thereof of a government.  Freedom is conceived in two different and opposite ways. Positive freedom and negative freedom. The concept of positive freedom is encapsulated by the idea of agency. The idea which a person or subject has agency which means that they have ...

Introduction

Mill’s Conception of Liberty
Mill’s conception of liberty states that there exists an area of freedom within which an individual is allowed to develop their individuality without any interference either from law or society (Fred, 1984). Mill aims to ascertain the principle that people can exercise own free choice in living. He affirms that an action or practice is right especially when compared with an alternative approach or action if it results in a possible greatest happiness to that individual. From the conception of the liberty principle, the liberty exercised by an individual should be indefeasible and ...

Introduction

The Western thought has been primarily characterized by the divide between culture and nature since the beginning of the twentieth century. The Ecology of Others is a groundbreaking work where Philippe Descola seeks the annihilation of this divide. The thesis in his book is that the Western thought should depart from the rigid dualistic understanding of culture and nature as the most conspicuous phenomenon in the anthropocentric model. The book is well thought out and presented. It is not just enough that Philippe Descola identifies the problem in anthropocentric models of Western thought.

In the book, Descola goes further to ...

“On The Genealogy of Morals” is a text by a German philosopher by the name Friedrich Nietzsche. In the book, Nietzsche uses a genealogical method to trace the origins of people’s different conceptions of morality. The text has three main essays; the first entitled “Good and Evil,” the second one entitled “Guilt, ‘Bad Conscience,’ and the like” and the last one entitled “What is the meaning of ascetic ideals?” This essay provides a critical response to Nietzsche’s work, specifically his book “On The Genealogy of Morals.”

One of the claims made by Nietzsche ...

SOCRATES - GLAUCON
AND now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: --Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will ...

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 ...

Question 4: Explaining the East Asian Conception of Human Nature

Introduction
The problem of Human Nature has always been a point of hot discussions among the Western and Eastern philosophers. Although there are some theoretical discrepancies among members of the different philosophical schools, the majority of them concur that the idea of human nature encompasses the fusion of certain distinguishing characteristics, which a human possesses irrespective of his/her cultural background. Despite the fact that the nature of these characteristics, approaches to measuring them and understanding the components of this metaphysical phenomenon are not clearly defined in any philosophical school yet, there is a strong opinion in the both Eastern ...

In looking at how disciplinary power is used in order to discipline individuals into obeying the State it is evident that there were various values that arose in modern society that presented the need to replace these methods. Analysis of the forms and practices of punishment and surveillance according to the theories of Foucault and Nietzsche demonstrate that these methods were often implemented through the power and authority of the state itself and the punishments that were adopted were done so in relation to the values and principles of the ruling class. In developing these distinctions, an understanding of ...

Introduction

Sociology comes with a broad array of ideas and theories that describe every-day things like identity, social integration and others. Some of these concepts include the concept of the home and identity/belonging. “Home” is where a person has an attachment and builds social and political identity. On the other hand, “Belonging” is about a sense of identity and connection to a particular community. The concept of home has been split along the lines of local and global perspectives in the 21st Century. This is because in a generation of individualism, technology and globalisation, it is easier than ever to ...

The Society of the Spectacle is a philosophy book authored by Guy Debord. The book contains as many as two hundred and twenty one theses divided over nine paragraphs. The Society of the Spectacle is defined by the many theses that the author espoused throughout the book. For instance, the changing relationship between mediated representation and direct experience in modern times sets the context for the first thesis. The author asserts all things that were directly lived previously have been turned into mere representations.
This thesis shows the negative attitude and the crucial stance he held towards the developments ...

The culture of any group of people has several critical characteristics: it is comprehensive in that it fits in a logical manner, it is learned knowledge and it is made manifest within moral boundaries. Cultural standards cannot be fully understood especially in the conscious awareness across individuals. The ability of a culture to accept makes the definition of culture as i static or dynamic. The differences in the American and most East Asia countries such as Japan have a broad aspect. However, in any study or anywhere cultural differences are considered there emerges the dangers of stereotyping and generalization. This paper will therefore ...

Abstract

This essay analyses Rousseau’s view of freedom while providing a linkage between this particular conception of freedom and the distinction between positive and negative freedom as advanced by Isaiah Berlin. The strengths and weaknesses of Rousseau’s view of freedom are then critically analyzed. Negative freedom is the total absence of barriers, constraints and obstacles. Berlin argued that negative freedom is usually directed towards individuals. He stated a person is not a slave of the other and everyone has the liberty to do what they wishes to do. The law or even social pressure does not prevent individuals ...

The subject of abortion has elicited divergent views among philosophers as to the validity of having an abortion. Abortion is seen as a matter of philosophical beliefs as several arguments, and counter arguments have been brought forth to support and condemn abortion. Religion partakes to the issue through rational thinking while philosophy arguments are based on the support of the philosophical thinkers through theories. Moral tolerability of taking a fetus’ life is the fundamental standpoint through which arguments and counter arguments revolve. In my opinion, abortion is tantamount to murder, and I am of the firm belief that abortion ...

Introduction
It is not surprising that not most of the people are understanding the context of philosophy. From a person not inclined with its concept, phisolosphy can be viewed as boring, irrelevant to the real-world application, and yet very much intriguing. On the other hand, it is not so difficult to put a finger on what really is its purpose, what phisolosphers do, and how its principles relate to human existence. However, the answer to those questions can be found in analyzing how it is viewed by different philosophers and what their perspectives about the subject pertains. The ...

Because a not insignificant number of women experience at least one miscarriage in life, Dutch researchers sought out 54 candidates to interview in a qualitative analysis of what challenges one going through this process faces. Of the 54 contacted, only 24 were receptive to answering the questions (the reasons participants cited declination varied). From here, researchers identified three periods in which participants experienced depression or coped with anxiety (due to miscarriage): miscarriage, conception and pregnancy (Ockhuijsen, et al. 2014). Because each of those interviewed had a history with miscarriages, the aim of the study was to address what ...

One of the most notable achievements in legislation by the Obama government is to get the Affordable Care Act signed into law.

The use of less lethal weapons such as the pepper spray and conducted energy devices or CEDs, such as the Taser had been widely popular in the police force. The use of Taser increased in significantly for the past decade and reports have shown that 15,000 law enforcement and military agencies make use of these less lethal weapons. However, the use of Tasers had created a controversy in relation to allegations of overuse, intentional infliction of harm to the accused and in-custody deaths. Some claim that police commit intentional abuse of these ...

The thought of killing to most people is bone chilling and makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up. Abortion is unjustifiable murder because that fetus being done away with is a human being that deserves the right to live just like the people participating in the act. Abortion is an issue that should not be taken lightly because; it is a termination of what could potentially become a human being. Abortion is the intentional termination of a pregnancy before maturity. This is the removal of an embryo or fetus from the womb before maturity. There are two main types ...

Introduction

The term freedom has been used in many epochs and places to determine a condition under which an individual sees himself constrained or not to act in certain way. It is both a philosophical and a political concept, as it can be used to define a condition of the self, or a set of rules and conditions under which an individual or collection of individuals will act. The first part of this paper will discuss the origin and definitions of liberty, the second part will deal with the two modern conceptions of liberty, and the third part will analyze the political implications of both ...

Plato's Influence on Medieval Thought

Plato's Influence on Medieval Thought

Introduction

Plato was born in 428/427 BCE in Athens, Greece. He was a Greek philosopher and Socrates’ student. Plato founded the Academy and best known for his efforts in philosophical works depicting unparalleled influence. Building on various demonstrations by individuals like Socrates that those considered as experts in every ethical matter did not have proper understanding necessary for a prompt human life, Plato came up an idea that the mistake were caused by their lack of proper engagement with a class of identities that he referred to as forms. Key examples of these forms include equality, beauty, and ...

1.
Riley (2001) mentioned that the concept of death penalty is justified by one simple principle that the punishment must be roughly apportioned to the severity of the crime committed. He argued that the criminal system of the world is grounded on the principle. Despite the variation in legal systems, in different societies constituting differing punishment, the principle remains universal. Ending a person’s life for committing a crime a society deems heinous does not decrease the level of society into murders, because society is said to have the legitimate power to determine what behaviors are considered right and wrong. Society ...

Abortion can be referred to as a procedure that terminates pregnancy which can be done through the use of medicine or through performance of a surgery. The procedure can be done legally or illegally and it is a very personal decision. However, terminating pregnancy or what is better referred to as abortion is an illegal undertaking unless done under special instructions made by a licensed health care practitioner. Those that back up abortion argue that, abortion is a right which no one should be denied or regulated by the government nor any religious entity. The proponents of abortion argue that if the women are ...

Introduction

In trying to understand the conditions that preceded the formation of government, philosophers and thinkers during the age of enlightenment hypothesized that there existed a period before the formation of the social contract. This period is referred to as the state of nature. It was argued that the chaos experienced informed on the people sacrificing some of their freedoms and putting authority on a different entity, typically representing the government thereby leading to the emergence of the state of society. To achieve the essential element of order and to forestall the adverse effect of the state of nature, it is theorized ...

Introduction

The radical conception of power is the failure to keep normative and analytical questions which means that some scholars mistakenly confuse the critique and identification of power relations. In this paper, the argument is that the definition suggested by several authors does not meet their intention. The fundamental conception of power may be made to work within the terms originally expressed by the authors and they are forced to draw a challenging comparison between objective and objective an interest, which makes the identification of third dimensional power value burdened and irrational. At the same time places the analyst in the ...

When an oocyte and spermatozoa fuse, the process is referred to as fertilization. The gametes are haploid at that stage and grow further into a diploid zygote. There is a difference in the forms that the process can be made possible. It can be through the natural mode that occurs in vitro or can happen outside the body in vivo (Hill, 2016). Research studies have been done adequately to ensure that circumstances that support life out of the womb can be created for a while before a transfer is done to the womb for future growth and development. For ...

Cultural diversity has been one of the social and anthropological traits of human civilization. Many anthropologists define culture as the collection of traits. While defining the term culture Keesing (1974) says that culture is the heritage of learned symbolic behavior that makes humans human. Geographical factors and natural surroundings are majorly responsible in shaping the cultures and civilizations of the world. The conception behind the variety in civilization is to survive by tuning ourselves with the surrounding. Hence one cannot conclude that a particular culture is superior and a particular culture is inferior. Imitating any culture blindly is also ...

The religious ideologies of a society can have a profound effect on their cultural views and norms. Furthermore, the habits that this leads to can have an influence on the philosophical values that are inherent within that society. Within eastern cultures, it is evident that there is a profoundly different view of the relationship between humanity and the natural world than in the west. In China, this is likely due to the profound influence of texts such as the Tao Te Ching. In looking at the cultural relationship between Taoism and Chinese society it is evident that the ideas ...

Abortion is a sensitive and controversial topic in the current generation. Whether abortion is ethical or right is a grey area topic still. Pro-abortionists present convincing arguments as to why they support abortion. Similarly, Anti-abortionists offer equally convincing arguments with a different twist in view concerning their stand on abortion. The current generation considers abortion as a form of contraception in cases of unwanted pregnancies. Even though there are numerous alternative forms of contraception, abortion remains the last choice in the event of an occurrence of unwanted pregnancy (Elley 449).
The use of contraceptive has evolved tremendously from early ...

1. How does Jesus' use of parables of reversal challenge the understanding of the kingdom of God among his contemporaries (see chapter V of Christian Footings)?
The use of parables of reversal by Jesus was essentially meant to challenge the institutionalized notions of religion that his contemporaries had. His methods were meant to address the problems associated with there being a hierarchical system associated with the church, with those that were considered on the inside and others on the outside. His parables were meant to flip this idea on its head and generate a desires towards understanding in ...

The basic Hobbesian idea in favour of the establishment of monocratic states is that the basic nature of human beings is to be self-serving and hence, a much more powerful external force (that is, more powerful than itself) would be needed to force individuals to form societies. However even at the surface level, this argument does not seem complete. The idea that humans are essentially self-centred does hold some water in that many modern sociological and psychological studies have shown as much. But this is not all – there is more at work here because if the formation of human ...

Introduction

Over time, there has been increasing interest in culturally responsive teaching that grew since the late 1980’s and the early 1990s primarily because of the increasing diversity in the country’s classrooms. This is coupled with the concern over the low rate of success by the many racial and ethnic minority students despite numerous years of reforms in the education fields. The ongoing reform of the Native American education is further influenced by the fact that after years of population decline to the historic low of around 237,000 members in the year 1900 the American Indian populations ...

Philosophy and Logic

The nature of philosophy as, as Socrates put it, a metaphorical gadfly demonstrates the relationship that the discipline has with other academic and intellectual pursuits. The idea that Socrates was attempting to express is in consideration of the role of philosophy in the sciences and the philosopher in society (Plato 2016). This role, for Socrates went well beyond simple academic pursuits, but rather, extended into all aspects of life. In this sense, it is important to consider this metaphor in relation to the conception that Socrates had of the implications of rational thought and the mind's pursuit of knowledge. ...

Abortion refers to voluntary termination of pregnancy through removing the Uterus of the embryo or fetus prior to viability. In many countries, human abortion is illegal. Many people who oppose abortion rely on the argument that a fetus is a human being from since conception. On Contrary Judith Jarvis Thomson differs with this view and give several examples as a way of proving her point. From Judith's point of view, she argues that a fetus is not a human being from the time of conception. She likens a fetus to acorns which develops top become oak trees. She argued that simply by the fact ...

Introduction

For a long time now, the debate in the moral status of abortion has been raging. Anti-abortionists and pro-choicers have held and argued for different premises, each armed with relevant moral principles to collaborate their positions. The moral principles that have been used to advance these arguments among others include the principle that only persons hold the right to life and the principle that it is immoral to end the life of a human being. Other arguments towards the moral status of abortion are influenced by religious dogma. The common ground for many anti-abortionist arguments is that it is immoral to ...

In a world where most people will only be interested in those things that satisfy their selfish whims, it is unlikely that one would passionate about the general happiness of others in the society. The concept of happiness is an emotional state of wellness that is manifest by the exuberance of pleasant emotions that emanates from a feeling of contentment and joy. However, this definition at best does not capture all the multi-facets of happiness as it may be construed by different persons. Disparities in meaning and construction have been raised by commentators who confine happiness to the hedonistic tradition of ...

The 2011 movie Beastly is a contemporary retelling of the classic fairytale “The Beauty and the Beast”. It is about a vein and arrogant young man, that is turned into hideous-looking creature by a witch, with a spell that can only be undone if he gets someone to love him within a defined period of time. Due to the fact that fairy tales are some of the first encounters that children have with fictional stories, many theorists suggest that these strongly influence the way people in which perceive the world at the beginning of their life, and, unless it is changed, afterwards. Because of ...

The human development solely depends on the results of the diverse stages that occur in a human being. These stages start from the conception of a newborn until the day of death.

Politics is intricately intertwined with power and influence. The juxtaposition of the desire to establish dominion over others and the need to influence the subjects creates the conundrum called politics. The modern definition of politics is inclined towards the means of gaining power and exercising the positions of governance over a state or a community. 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. Ideally, the conception of politics as being representative of the people’s wishes was confined to the wealthy. In ...

Gender is a fundamental element that renders its influence in every social phenomenon. The distinctions are obvious in the aspects of expectations, attributes and miles stones. No doubt, the physical strength of males is apprehended with the supremacy of astuteness and intelligence. The male gender is raised in the same manner to cultivate the contextual skills, whilst the females are protected and preserved as less capable entities to secure themselves. Herein, it must be considered that sociology considers gender as a completely secular element in reference the element of sex. The feature of gender and its allocated expectation are cultivated by ...
