Additionally, a quitclaim deed does not have warranties of title and is transferred free of encumbrances.

The The Father of Many Nations (Genesis 17:1-8)
So the Abram was renamed to Abraham. “As a guarantee of the fact that the child of the covenant would soon be born, God changes Abrams name.

An Objection to Augustine’s Response to the Problem of Evil in On the Free Choice of the Will

A contemporary Catholic apologist sums up the problem of evil nicely: “If God is so good, why is his world so bad?” (Kreeft 54). In this paper, Augustine’s response to the problem of evil will be analyzed and found to be lacking as an adequate resolution to the problem. The paper that follows is a reflection based on the readings from From Plato to Derrida, paying special attention to Augustine’s texts on evil. Augustine tries to attack what we mean when we say “evil,” but his argument insufficiently glosses over the larger issue of human suffering, and what ...

Bribery and corruption are a current primary public concern in most of the countries. It is partly attributable to the corruption press coverage regarding the public officials.

The principles of ethics are immensely complicated. They call for a sound mind and upright skills of judgment in order for the decision maker to go by the right decision. The principle of double effect particularly is one interesting yet tough principle. It is used in situations involving double effects, one good and another one undesirable. The criteria followed in solving such situations are clear and rather straightforward. This principle is also applied in legal proceedings where the defendant cites necessity as a defense. In such legal cases, just like in solving ethical dilemmas, the perpetrator of the deed must prove ...

Therefore, stories of Kalidasa and Chretien de Troyes are read with lightness; however the times of their creation have been covered with dust for many long years. Such lightness can be explained with the mere fact that authors touch such eternal topics, which ...

Utilitarianism and Kant’s Moral Theory differ in several ways. For example, utilitarianism defines ethical values based on the end results as opposed to the anticipated consequences. On the other hand, Kant's ethical theory determines the rectitude of a deed based on the entire ethical decision with regard to the nature of the deed; the results are totally unimportant. Also, the two theories differ on the fundamental moral principles. For example, utilitarianism emphasizes on creating value for other people while Kant considers procedures to be imperative in determining the morality of an action.

Moreover, they are doing it perfectly and achieve great success. There is nothing impossible for an ambitious, hard-working woman especially when she is meditating ...

One century after Henrik Ibsen wrote Hedda Gabler, the play still remains to provoke deeply repressed emotions we, as human beings, tend to disregard; emotions of fantasy, terror and distress. Hedda Gabler, a very disturbed woman, remains a very perplexing, mysterious character. As the director, I will explore several ideals in terms of how the character of Hedda should be seen, how she should be taken on, embodied and brought to life. For instance, is Hedda an ardent protagonist battling social boundaries? Or is she the child-like, sixteen year old, mean girl? Could she be considered a rogue anti-hero, or is she a ...

The ‘means and ends’ formulation of the Categorical Imperative

These guidelines are in the form of three formulations of the categorical imperative. The second of three is the “means and end” formulation, which shall be discussed in this paper.

The ‘means and end’ formulation sets the guideline for how we should treat other human beings – that is, to treat them with respect for their dignity as persons and respecting their rights in the process. This implies therefore that every human person must be treated as an end in himself and ...
