In just these two days, the third graders learned a profound lesson on prejudice and discrimination that would inevitably affect their outlook in their adult life. One of the blue-eyed students that used his position ...

I think that morality and religion are two distinct or different concepts. Morality works through reason and conscience. It aims at determining what is wrong or acceptable in the society based on clear discussion and analysis. Religion aims at adhering to God’s will. People show support and adherence to God’s will through practicing faith and obedience to God based on the religious teachings. Morality can be questioned and even subjected to intelligent debate. However, God’s will is rarely questioned. Religious followers are only expected to follow the set teachings. Most religions like Christianity and Muslim; for ...

The Shinto religion forms an important part of the Japanese culture. It should be noted that the Shinto religion is the only religion that is truly a polytheistic religion, even more so than Hinduism and Taoism.

However, some academics argue that the Shinto religion has several features that make it appear under-developed compared to other countries. However, this religion is still fortunate to ...

Van der Pol defines tacit knowledge as knowledge that is “implicit, non-conscious and unacknowledged and is acquired through practice, socialization and habits”. Acquisition of tacit knowledge of other people’s culture may prevent ethnocentric bias in a world that is experiencing social economic and political relational growth among countries (Scott 262). This would lead to mutual respect and harmony among people with different cultural backgrounds brought together by these ever growing relations. The form of knowledge has been enhanced by increased integration of social, economic and political systems. The world has become a global village that has resulted in ...

There is no doubt that reality television shows are watched by many people because of the fact that such shows are marketed as unscripted. Although reality TV shows may not be scripted, they are heavily edited and in that respect, they lose their authenticity. Raw footage is taken to graphic designers and editors, who in turn filter and control what the viewers see (Biltereyst, n.d). Consequently, reality television shows distort reality in the sense that content is not presented honestly and in context. Reality television shows of cops are not very different from fictional shows of cops. In fictional ...

Kant on Ethics There are those who would ascribe the human sense of morality, the sense of right and wrong, on religion; others, such as Immanuel Kant, on reason. The principal basis upon which Kant imputes morality is on good will, which he claims is an intrinsic value universal to all people, independent from external influences. But for good will to be valid, any good action that issues from such good will must be motivated by good will and a sense of duty – not whether one is inclined to do good. The motivation to do good stems from within ...

White noise entails a sound frequency that a person can hear in the form of a gentle hiss (Proakis, 2013). In essence, white noise resembles the sound heard from an ocean surf, waterfall, radio static or wind rustling through vegetation or trees. White noise affects the signal because of the electron activity, which occurs in a given medium. More specifically, the electron activity tends to increase with an increasing temperature, and this raises the noise. Too much white noise often makes it cumbersome to interpret a signal and can sometimes lead to loss of a signal.

According to White (2013), impulse noise entails the common ...

People do not normally find it very comfortable to deliberately put themselves into situations that cause difficulty, troubles, anxiety, or adversity. But sometimes it happens. How can a person ever become used to vicious, or inadvertent remarks, which lead to a reevaluation of decisions of character in the first place?

There are many kinds of civic citizenship status in society but none is as painful and disrespectful as that of a Refugee; what I was before America took me as its own.

That is the quest that drove me to America and I, eventually, found peace in helping similar refugees out with finding their own identity. Since ...

By doing so, the human subjects would feel respected and valued and not merely used or abused for the sake of achieving a particular medical objective. In application of the principle of respect, the ability of the individual to make own choices and decisions should be considered as Gallin and Ognibene (2012) corroborates. ...

Working with people of different cultures/countries/ethnic backgrounds is really a challenge. At the same time, it is interesting to meet and learn from new people. Living and working in a foreign country opens us up to the novel way of living and broadens our thinking pattern. At times, living in an alien place and working with strangers can be hard to manage. However, I think it can be best managed by making new friends. People who belong to the same place and are familiar with the work culture have a lot to offer to the new joiners.

Aristotle’s Mean and Addison’s Extreme: Two Philosophical Views of Humor Humor is one of the fundamental aspects of human experiences; as such, it has been studied by many great philosophers. The use of language to produce a humorous effect is somewhat of a mystery, and its particularities could be thought of as unique to the human species. Thus, the definition and characterization of humor is not unequivocal, with different thinkers conceptualizing it in different manners. Aristotle and Joseph Addison are only two of the most remarkable philosophers to study this philosophical problem. Through the analysis of the ...

Freedom is the right to do what you want without being controlled or restricted by anyone. This is according to the Longman dictionary definition of the word freedom. However, it is difficult to define what exactly freedom is except if the restrictions on human actions are deeply analyzed. Freedom has residual areas which individuals can access in the society. It contains inbuilt restrictions which make one to respect the rights and freedom of others while in exercising their own freedom. For instance, my freedom to stretch my hands may be infringing on my neighbor’s freedom to breath. Therefore, ...

In spite of love being the notion as old as the world is and as clear as glass, many profound thinkers and philosophers have contemplated on this topic and expressed their views on subjects what love is and whether it is here to be or not. Although both ‘Love song’ by Joseph Brodsky and ‘Is Love Dead’ recited by Dedalus reflect on the theme of love, the differences in respect of structure, themes and stylistic devices make them two completely opposite poems. The first thing to pay attention to is the formal organization of the verses. ‘Love Song’ ...

Those who are willing to take the risk to become journalistic greats will conversely be compensated with the respect, and admiration of their peers.

Discussion on Short Stories That Depict How Traditional Gender Roles Promote Violence Exploring the theme of violence portrayed in literature, is a complicated task.

As such, the teleological suspension of the ethical according to Kierkegaard is the act of abandoning the sound religious beliefs to pursue the ‘ultimate ...

Doctor patient confidentiality is provided for in the common and statutory law. Medical records of patients are not supposed to be divulged to third parties except under special circumstances provided for by the law (Ministryofethics.co.uk, 2012). The problem with the provisions given by the law is that they are not comprehensive. This results in medical practitioners finding themselves in ethical dilemmas where each possible choice is bound to have repercussions.

The act of divulging the medical details of a patient by a doctor without consent can be viewed as a form of betrayal. Breach of confidentiality is a failure to uphold the autonomy ...

Defined as the obligation of a person or institution to safeguard certain entrusted information about another individual, confidentiality is a norm that has to be kept by care givers. It may also refer to facts that are secret, private, or privileged by certain individuals and should be kept undisclosed as instructed by the patient under examination. However, it would be impossible at times to care for the patient effectively since healthcare is a multi-disciplinary entity that involves several people. According to “Bioethics on NBC's ER: Betraying Trust or Providing Good Care?” the aspect of concealing certain information may be revealed. As much ...
