There are people who believe that they have a responsibility to society of extending good will to members of those societies (Chafee 287).These people do not extend goodwill with the aim of obtaining anything from it. These people do not have interior motives for their actions. A good example is the case of the military giving up their lives to protect

Although the modern United States is known as a secular society with separation of church and state, the role of faith and churches remains strong within its citizens. That the role of the church remains strong with society would likely surprise late 19th century philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, who seemed to believe Christianity would disappear altogether in favor of the newer developments and explanations provided by science and philosophy. Throughout the 20th century and ever since, the secular nation of America has produced millions of astounding innovations, vast scientific progress, and advances in civil rights. It has been

Looking at it from a social perspective, non-profit organizations have a heavier impact on the society compared to for-profit organization. The non-profit organizations have been around long enough and the effects on the community are rather clear. The most prominent effect of nonprofit organizations

Question 1
Given the short duration of a semester the student could most easily go along with aNPO executive on several fund development calls

Charity is a voluntary help that can be provided to the poor in the form of moral help or money. We know that charity can be given either directly, or through a charitable trust. Every charitable trust has some administration cost associated with it, and I am always skeptical if these administration costs are really worth paying for? But I do agree that these trusts need the administration costs to run their trust. I strongly believe that charity can be given to any poor person on any day, rather than waiting for the Thanksgiving or the Christmas holidays to

"Bartleby the Scrivener" and Germinal - The Virtue of Refusing Labor
The relationship of man to his labor is tied inextricably to his relationship with society; the way in which he handles the responsibilities given to him is often a reflection of how he reacts to the world around him. When man chooses to stop his work, it is often in resistance to a particular set of circumstances or events: for example, the way labor is rewarded in a society. If it is insufficient, either monetarily or metaphysically, one may simply decide to stop working. This relationship is often

It has often been said that sharing is good. Sharing not only benefits the recipient of the act of goodness, but the giver or contributor of goodness as well. Feelings of happiness and contentment are often associated with people who share what they have.

The ‘means and ends’ formulation of the Categorical Imperative

Immanuel Kant, the great moral philosopher, established logical principles that serve as guidelines for one’s moral actions. 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
