In Tom Regan's article “The Case for Animal Rights,” he makes the case for the rights of animals on the basis of equal treatment of all living things that possess inherent value. He argues that morality should be centered on the equal treatment of all living entities, rather than the reduction of suffering and the amplification of pleasure. Consequently, Regan's involvement in the animal rights movement is based on three issues: the elimination of all commercial forms of animal testing, animal agriculture and animal hunting. Ultimately, Regan's argument stands as a sound defense for animal rights on the grounds ...

As Sadcheva and colleagues (162) reasonably note, “the question of whether morality is an objective truth gleaned from nature or a socially constructed concept has been important in the philosophical study of ethics as well». In the editorial titled The Moral Instinct, Steven Pinker cultivates a rather controversial and ambiguous issue of human moral judgments, moral decisions/choices and moral dispositions. Thereby, the provocative nature of the author’s argument reveals itself as early as the introduction points to the blurred and seemingly inexplicable standards we evaluate the worth of particular prominent figures in terms of their compliance with moral ...

A key issue within photographic practice and culture is the establishment of perspective regarding the influence that the self and the underlying aesthetic preferences and expectations that are brought to the art. These preferences demonstrate an essential aspect of valuation in regards to not only the perceptions that are held by those viewing the art and their understanding of beauty but also the level of awareness or unawareness that the photographer has in their composition and viewpoint at the point of the photograph's creation. The idea of the unawareness about the self-knowing as a common phenomenon in our society, ...

Innovation and creativity are common tenets of the business strategies adopted by many corporations. Organizations also used innovation and creativity as the element through which they acquire a competitive advantage. Scholars such as Mann and Chan (2011, p.1) find that the concepts of innovation and creativity have gained enjoyed a lot of interest in the recent past. The interest in the concepts has resulted from a shift in how they are perceived.
Mann and Chan (2011, p.1) report that the concept of creativity ...

Intelligence is a broad term which has various meaning attached to it, in all the languages of the world. Philosophers have been trying to understand and explain the meaning of the term ‘intelligence’ since centuries, and each one of them has come up with their own exemplification of the term. For example, Einstein terms intelligence, not as the occupation of knowledge, but it is more of imagination and creativity. Socrates, on the other hand, believes that intelligence is the self-knowledge of claiming that one knows nothing. Moving from philosophers, people have considered understanding the meaning of the term from ...

The Canadian healthcare and social assistance sector falls under the NAICS classification. The sector entails a publicly funded healthcare system. The sector is guided by the provisions of the Canada Health Act of 1984 (Belchetz). The sector, relative to its peers in most other countries including the U.S and Mexico, is unique. Its uniqueness arises from the fact that despite being predominantly publicly funded, most of the healthcare services at the point of sale are provided for by private practitioners.
The Canadian healthcare and social assistance sector has been billed in many quarters as a model to be followed ...

Genetic counselling has been described as the process by which an individual fully understands and adapts to the contribution of genetic makeup in the medical and physiological state of the individual along with its influence on the familial implications of a disease condition [1].

The concept of the natural state of man is discussed in detail by both Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe in their books Gulliver’s Travels and Robinson Crusoe respectively. While Swift takes the reader through his opinion of the natural state of man by describing the journey of Gulliver, Defoe does this through an evaluation of the life of Crusoe. However, despite appearing to focus on the same topic, the two hold divergent views on the same. Defoe appears to make a more compelling argument as compared to Swift in Gulliver’s travel because he appears to be more ...

1.1 Background Information
Essentially, the use of biotechnology has been one of the most harnessed and embraced concepts in the modern world. The developers of this form of technology aim to provide solutions to the traditional problems that have been in existence due to little or lack of due understanding concerning the structure and nature of various biological components of animals and plants. As such, research and development has worked to explore these structures and determine how they can be used for the benefit of humans all around the world. In that light, biotechnology has therefore been applied in ...

Understanding the intrigues of an international system is as complex as understanding the factors that have influenced its evolution over time. However, it is clear that the international system underwent its most profound changes in the periods of the First and Second World Wars. The stack difference in international relations between the post war period and before the war can only be illustrated by having a detailed overview of the situation after the First World War; which set the stage for the Second World War, and the ensuing international system afterwards.
In fact, it would not be an overstatement ...

Science fiction films demonstrate a form of storytelling that questions the underlying nature of human accomplishment, but all of reality as well. As is evident in various modern films such as Interstellar, The Martian, and Star Wars ideas such as the exploration of space and pushing the boundaries of the unknown are explored. Furthermore, science fiction films demonstrate a strong focus on technological innovation and human accomplishment. These accomplishments are often framed in relation to profound moral questions that are concerned with the circumstances of the human condition. In assessing the relationship between humanity, technology, and society science fiction ...

Deviant behavior is a behavior that is different from others. It occurs because of non conformity with the norms. Deviance is behavior that goes against dominant norms of the society. It is, however, socially constructed, it is not just only a matter of individual personal choice, and is an inherent part of the society. Crime, however, represents form of deviance in which societies impose some penalties. Deviance is, however, dependent on the culture, and is constructed socially. This can be analyzed from the fact that Emile Durkheim (1966, p 263) mentioned that crime, which is a form of deviance ...

Human beings as fans of outside work is nothing new: although modern society has the technology that allows large groups of these fans to gather, there is no doubt that fandom has been around a very long time. In fact, in Don Quixote—a novel written in two separately-published parts—the author had to write in a character who was initially created by a fan of the first part of the novel (Harris and Alexander 1998). This fan-made character then denounced his claim to being the true Don Quixote, and the novel meanders on—however, this is just one ...

1.0 INTRODUCTION
According to Ekelund (2014, p. 76-77), the franchisor-franchisee relationship is far more complex than the traditional supplier-retailer relationship. First, the franchisor retains the ownership of the brand or the trademark, which the traditional supplier did not over its products. Second, the relationship is subject to conflicts, directly arising from the independent power of the franchisor and the franchisee as well as the interdependence of both. These factors create a flash point in the relationship, which if not effectively managed can destroy the relationship and economically impact on each other as a consequence of the relationship.
In this ...

Emmanuel Kant describes enlightenment as a situation of self-awareness where an individual emerges from self-imposed immaturity. Thus, this state marks a transition from darkness to awareness, and it comes with freedom. Moreover, Kant regards immaturity as a complete inability of an individual to use his conscience or understanding without the intervening guidance of another person (Deligiorgi, 2005). A clear lack of resolve and courage precipitates to the denial of personal freedom, but an affliction on others for sole guidance. Principally, Kant’s assertion about enlightenment is entrenched on having the courage to use personal understanding and courage to dispense ...

Human Dignity and the Organ Trade

Organ donation is a gracious act that adds more years to a sick individual’s life as it allows them to live a longer and healthier life. Those with end-stage heart, eye, or kidney diseases live longer than those who receive other treatment methods such as dialysis or oral medications. The problem is that there is a shortage of organs for transplantation all over the world. The list of patients waiting for donors run in the hundreds of thousands, with about 100,000 of them waiting for kidney donors alone. This has led to questions about the possibility of ...

How does Willard Describe Humanity?

Willard describes humanity as ‘different from other creatures’. He explains this description by saying that human beings, unlike other creatures, have a purpose, aspirations, and a power beyond what we know we possess (Willard, 1991, pg. 47). Humanity is defined by the presence of a body and a soul, in addition to the exceptional possibilities that have the power to lead us to heaven or hell. Though made a little less than a god, human beings are care for by God, which is an indication of the intrinsic importance and uniqueness of humanity. People even have power over animals, ...

The presidential powers have considerably extended since the time when the Founding fathers framed the Constitution of the United States. At that time, the thirteen colonies that formed a newly established state were afraid of a strong executive leadership. They feared that if a president were entitled by the Constitution to have extended powers, he would have misused or abused these powers, governed by self-interests, rather than the interests of the nation. This skepticism toward strong leadership resulted from the experience that the founders had when dealing with the English monarch (The Declaration of Independence, 1776). In order to ...

Introduction

For organizations to survive during their inception or throughout their life, it is vital to carry out an examination of their internal strengths and weaknesses as well as the external opportunities, threats, and trends. This is the epitome of SWOT analysis, and it enables businesses to determine their current position in the market they operate in and the trajectory to take the company in the future (Rauch et al., 2015). The knowledge of internal and external environments is vital in gauging whether a corporation will thrive or succumb to the competition by rival companies. This paper seeks to undertake ...

The role of the auditor including legal and professional requirements, its importance, benefits and limitations

The Role of an Auditor

In contrast, external auditors are independent auditing/accounting entities who pass their professional judgment and form an opinion concerning the fairness of financial statements .
Under the Companies Act, the role of an auditor is to ...

Setting is a vital part of any story; it helps establish context for the character’s actions, showcases the period in which the story is set, and allows a mood to be set. What’s more, a setting can reveal the passions or the conflicts the characters possess, becoming symbols themselves for the characters. The protagonists of many important literary works are inexorably tied to their surroundings, and the following three works are no exception. In this paper, the settings of Shakespeare’s Othello¸ Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, and Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby will all be examined in terms of their ...

Joseph L Badaracco’s article “The Discipline of Building Character” discusses three cases in the workplace setting when the manager’s are called upon to take difficult decisions. The decisions that they take involves something beyond the moral dilemmas which makes the decision making difficult. They are faced with two right courses of actions out of which they must decide on one. In making these decisions, they are called upon to minimize or eliminate conflicts with their values or character, with the organization and with the society. In other words, the moments of the decision making are identified as ‘ ...

The story of Orpheus and Eurydice remains one of the most famed myths of ancient Greece. It is not only a tale that pulses with the timeless themes of beauty, love and loss, but it also reveals deeper aspects of the human experience regarding what it means to be god and man. As a man endowed with god-like powers in the form of musical ability, Orpheus carried within himself the unique and precious capacity to bend even the most rigid hearts into understanding and supporting his deepest desires, including the rare chance to bring someone back to life.

The notion of leadership is often explained and treated differently, remaining one of the most complex and profound concepts in the modern world.

Getting a job in the contemporary world proves to be a direct function of the relationship that one sets in the onset of an interview. If one is contextually able to exhibit a good relationship coupled with a positive and optimistic rapport with a tentative employer, then there is hope that if one gets employed, there will be a chance for a meaningful employer-employee interaction. Forging employer-employee relationships proves to be difficult for most people. Most of the jobs call for people to spend more time at work than they do with loved ones and family members. This ...

My knowledge on mental health was limited prior to NSB023. I think these unfounded and biased preconceptions were based primarily on my racial and familial background, which seems to delineate persons with mental health issues unfairly, which are based primarily on what we see or read in the mass media. However, my firsthand experiences with mental health, in the course of completing NSB023, have broadened my understanding on this problem. I have come to realize that mental health issues are not necessarily due to an individual’s psychological ineptitude in dealing with conflicts or the reality, but may also ...

Law and Practice

Law and Practice
Civil commitment is the involuntary commitment of an individual into an inpatient treatment facility for the safety of him/herself or others (Greenley, n.d.; Testa & West, 2010). This process can force an individual to submit to psychiatric care because of the inherent risk the pose to them. In a civil commitment situation, a person is deemed to be unable to make a reasoned and well-informed decision about their own welfare. This is not unlike insanity pleas which some states allow in criminal defense. Similar to those cases, and despite what a person says about themselves and their ...

The debate on whether minors should be held in the same stature as adults for equal crimes is one that has been raging on for a long period. The debate is occasioned by the enticing argument that any form of societal and criminal misconduct should always be tackled by undertaking tougher punishments on offenders regardless of age. However, applying the same metric of punishment to juveniles as adults is not the solution. It is especially the case considering that research indicates that minors that receive adult sentences become more likely repeat offenders as opposed to those that go through ...

There has been a major push in the past few decades towards diversity in the literary canon, which was for a long while dominated by similar voices with similar origins. This push toward diversity has taken many forms: the integration of more female voices; the inclusion of more writers of color, regardless of their origin; and the inclusion of works of literature from non-Western cultures that have for too long been ignored. This last point has become known by the name multiculturalism, and though there is agreement throughout the academic community that this addition of previously un-acknowledged voices ...

Is Public Relations an ethical profession?

Introduction
Public Relations has been defined in many ways over time and across industries. The Institute of Public Relations in USA defines it as the deliberate, planned and sustained effort that goes into maintaining a mutual understanding between an organization and its public consumer. Edward L. Bernays defined it as the method of information persuasion and a method employed to develop public support for a cause, an activity, a movement or even an organization . Herbert M. Baus proposed yet another definition that Public Relations was a combination of many subjects including philosophy, sociology, economics, psychology, journalism, language and communication, ...

Some of the greatest works of Victorian literature look at English culture in the 1800s through a critical or jaundiced eye; these works then find ways to expose the restrictive, oppressive and isolationist aspects of British culture that were characteristic of the empire at that time. This is particularly true of Bram Stoker’s Gothic novel Dracula, as it looks critically at race through the personification of Dracula as the feared Other from Eastern Europe, seeking to violate the women of England with his exotic sexuality and behavioral taboos. Looking at Dracula through the lens of race, it becomes ...

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 ...

Immanuel Kant: Reason and Freedom
Immanuel Kant argues that being purely objective or purely rational and being independently free are two peas in a pod. As Kant argued in his widely known book Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, all human beings possess what he refers to as 'the idea of freedom' (Pasternack, 2002, 12). He builds his concept of categorical imperatives-- in the absence of which responsibility and morality would cease to exist-- upon the speculated idea that freedom is an omnipresent concept. Kant claims that it is clearly not possible for people to envision themselves as 'un-free' ( ...

There are many aspects in the history of humankind that were considered fair and acceptable during the past. However, it was actually morally questionable when it is applied in a modern context. The realm of life insurance is one of those cases. In the past, practices regarding life insurance can be considered unethical; it can be considered a relief that the practice has grown to change for the better over time to the point that it complies more or less with the standards nowadays. An in-depth analysis about the topic was made by Zelizer in her journal article entitled ...

Emersonian Private Behavior in Goffman’s Analysis

When Erving Goffman wrote The Presentation of Self in 1956, his intention was to help people learn techniques that would help them sustain favorable impressions communicated to others in any social situation, including contingencies that he believed common enough to apply to many people (15). Little did he know perhaps that decades later, his theories will continue to hold interest in the field of sociology. In fact, as early as 1970, Joan Emerson wrote her own expanded exploration of the Goffmanian theories in her classic article “Behavior in Private Places”. In the following ...

Investment Portfolio Project Final Paper and Presentation
In an ideal situation, an investor would like to investment in an asset or portfolio of asset characterized by high returns and low risk. However, the ideal world does not exist and so is the ideal portfolio as opined in the sentence above. This understanding gave birth to several portfolio theories and among these theories is the modern portfolio theory whose key contributors included Harry Markowitz and William Sharpe. In the modern portfolio theory of MPT as it is famously referred to, the theorists emphasize the importance of diversification in the portfolio. ...

Abstract

A look at the problems that face the world which include wars, disease, and injustice among others would prompt a re-evaluation of the social system that is in place. It is evident that the system has not led to an overall improvement in humanity. The common underlying factor among the various social ills that face the world today is the adoption of capitalism as the predominant mode of production and social ordering. The need to outdo the competition and maximize productivity in order to increase profits as the primary motivation for capitalism makes the system susceptible to abuse hence ...

While the English language is constantly evolving, the overuse of words in the wrong context diminishes their meaning and value. The word “hero” is constantly being used, especially in the media, to apply to anything from sporting personalities to sporting shoes (Nike, 2016) to sandwiches. The book by Christopher and Smith (2007), entitled Greatest Sports Heroes of All Time, uses the word “hero” in the wrong context. In this context, the word “hero”” has been widely used to describe any person of prominence in the sporting world who has ever achieved something noteworthy, when in fact these people, while ...

A Position Paper

In the recent past, demand for services that consume high bandwidth has increased. Such services include real-time video streaming. However, the traditional Internet architecture was never designed with such aspects in mind. As a result, the transportation of data (in more compressed forms) has become prone to high rates of packet losses and delays. For this reason, there was a need to move away from the traditional protocols and standards into the more current Quality of Service (QoS) in computer networks. QoS in a computer network enables the network to transport data simultaneously from one host to another while ...

As with any organization in any industry, health care organizations are also driven by the need for cost effectiveness. However, in addition to this, healthcare organizations must also ensure that the needs of the community and the health care requirements of all members of the community are addressed adequately. As the emphasis on cost control, patient safety, quality of care increases, there is a need for health care organizations to move away from their current organizational models and adopt more dynamic models that are designed with the needs of the patient as the focal point and which also address ...

IKEA: Case Study Summary

IKEA
The world’s largest furniture retailer, IKEA, was founded in 1943, Sweden. The company assumed its current position as primarily a furniture business after Ingvar Kamprad, its founder, started selling furniture through IKEA five years later.

1.0 Introduction
Citi Group (Citi) has taken a bad hit during the financial crisis in 2008, which it continues to shoulder today, almost a decade later. The appointment of current CEO Michael Corbat in 2012 pushed the company back to the path of better reduction of non-profitability, which finally broke through in 2015 when Citi finally made positive profits beyond its 2015 breakeven target. The succeeding sections explored this journey of challenges and promises as clearly as possible.

Nowadays social groups and individuals are not perceived as a closed and self-sufficient phenomena. They are included in the general relationship and interdependence. Universal interconnection, interdependence and relationships are extremely complicated by contradictory processes of globalization. The role and influence on the formation of national consciousness of the cultural self-identity should be borne in mind that national identity is implemented at two levels: the social (public, community at large) and personal (personal) (Bem, 1967). The need for self-determination has always been an important human need. Erich Fromm believed that this need is rooted in human nature (Fromm, 1939). Social ...

Introduction

Value refers to the utility, the worth or the desirability of a good or service. For a business, value refers to the primary sources of revenue. Value is located in the object (inherent value), in the experience (value in use), and in perception (value as a social construct).
Inherent value resides in an object. This value can be observed from the market price of the object. The forces of demand and supply determine the market price of an object.
Values in use arise when a customer enjoys an intangible service such as a hotel room and they are prepared ...

Abstract

Multiculturalism refers to the integration of different cultures to confide to a single national culture or social viewpoint. Thus, multiculturalism is an accommodative social perspective that entails integrating divergent social and cultural practices to a unified accord. With regards to the Australian multiculturalism programs, it would be imperative to conclude that it has had a share of challenges in implementing this policy, but at the same time reaped a lot from this policy. Thus, amidst challenges that come with settling people with diverse interests, Australia has had some gains out of its efforts to integrate people of different social ...

Ai Weiwei and Zhang Xiaogang are Chinese contemporary artists. While both are leading conceptual artists in the country, they seek to evoke different messages using their art work. Ai Weiwei’s art is motivated by the need to inspire freedom and the expansion of individual space away from government and society. It is therefore the case that Ai Weiwei by virtue of eliciting such emotions practiced artistic activism. On the other hand, Zhang Xiaogang is respected in his own right. His art more or less seeks to evoke memories which he says serve as his greatest inspiration. He especially ...

Smart watches

It is evident that smart watches have revolutionized the contemporary and highly technological world tremendously. However, the current use of smartphones only offer a glimpse of what smart watches can do in the future when its application is fully embraced. Consequentially, the application of smart watches is postulated to stretch beyond its current range of use that merely involves the retrieval of data from other devices and the collection of information from both external and internal sensors. Given, smart watches are invaluable wearable gadgets when it comes to the collection of personal information including blood pressure and heart rates. ...

The issue of moral community is a hotly debated topic by philosophers, especially in the field of ethics. It is paramount to realize that moral community refers to the beings that are held in high regard by an individual as opposed to a community or grouping of the people who act in a moral way. The “beings” in this context refers to the issues that a person has to consider their rightness before acting in a way that could affect them. For example, a person about to hit a wall may not be concerned whether it is right to ...

Writings on Hinduism have been remarkably expanded in the past decade by anthropological research which focuses on the real nature of religious practices, including the underlying philosophy, and examines the setting or environment as well as the written literature. Edward Harper, in his article Ritual Pollution as an Integrator of Caste and Religion (1964), vividly showed that the hierarchical relationship of the concepts of 'purity' and 'pollution', which are the foundational elements of caste, is based on a paradigm of society wherein different groups are brought together by the common pursuit of religion or rituals for the gods. The ...
