Issue: Criminal Accountability of UN Officials on mission

Position: Head Chair/Co-Chair Introduction The criminal accountability of the UN Officials on mission is one of the legal issues, which has been debated through the Legal Committee for numerous years. The legal gaps make it difficult for the UN to hold personnel accountable for crimes committed in the missions under its jurisdiction. The UN personnel are being currently accountable only to their countries and their legislation or being protected by the international legal statute of immunity. The lack of accountability makes the whole organization less credible and reliable. With two different groups of UN personnel the troop contributing countries ...

A chemist may be draw to the science because it contains physics and mathematics, with results clearly defined. On the other hand, biology can be messy, with fluids and disrupted bodies and patient suffering.

Technically, the definition for biology is simply the “scientific study of living organisms” (TheFreeDictionary.com), while chemistry is “a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and of the transformations that they undergo” (Merriam-webster.com). However, the lines blur when ...

John Dowland - Go, Crystal Tears from Book of Songs, Book 1 for solo voice and lute

1) In the beginning, it was strange and even a little bit uncomfortable to listen to it because it is so different from the music that I usually listen to. I never listen to such old music, so it took a few moments for me to open up my heart and mind to the music. I knew that the sound was beautiful, but because it was so unusual compared to what I usually listen to, it did not immediately attract my attention. When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

Reflection

As you reflect on the assumption of Theory X and Theory Y, how would you describe your own philosophy of leadership? With consideration of the both theories, I would claim that my philosophy of leadership do not come to such extremes as revealed in the assumptions, but rather lies in the balance and comparatively equal distribution of those who would fall under the category of theory X, and those who would belong to the ones as outlined by theory Y. My positive attitude in life and towards leadership leads me closer to the Theory-Y, which assumes that most people ...

Deprived and depraved children; and the causes of delinquency There is a sizable difference in children who are deprived and those who are depraved.

According to the dictionary, worldview means “a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint” (Merriam-Webster, n. d.). It includes a specific understanding of cosmology, truths, values, and the sense of life and is different for different people and organizations.

Quoting Sanford, Jones writes that Christian worldview was based on John Calvin’s systemized Christianity and division of all people on two groups: the followers of God and his denials (Jones, ...

The 21st century is worthily pronounced the era of technologies that keep on reshaping our reality and changing our lives every day. Such terms as disruptive and emergent technologies are widely known nowadays.

For example, a micro-theory in ethics could be described as ethical issues faced by an individual, like situations that provide conflicts of interest due to differences in beliefs and value systems. An individual who, due to his or her cultural orientation, follows a religious teaching that prohibits eating pork.

All these definitions underline the importance of technologies and information for the modern society all over the world. In this essay I would ...

According to the “science” of astrology, a person has particular personality traits based on the month, day, time, and place of their birth. While astrologers may defend this ancient craft of divination as science, does astrology merit inclusion in the world of science, disciplines of knowledge that include astronomy, chemistry, biology, physics and many other fields that entail rigorous observation, experimentation, and prediction? Clearly, astrology is a pseudoscience, and Imre Lakatos explains the rationale for its exclusion as legitimate science better than scientific philosophers, Thomas S. Kuhn, or Sir Karl Popper. In order to clarify the demarcation criteria between ...

“Retarded”

Introduction (Case Scenario) My best friend’s younger sister has Down syndrome and on two separate occasions, we heard people casually throw the word “retarded” at each other. I remember the first time turning around to two young adults laughing after one responded “okaaay,” rolling her eyes and waving her hands in the air. I do not need to go into how upset I was for not only myself, but especially for my girlfriend standing right next to me. I wish I would have said something then, but you know those “what would you do” situations where you are ...

Introduction: Environmental Scanning Environmental scanning is defined as the watchful and diligent monitoring of a company’s internal and external settings.

Have you ever thought what does the popular term “success” mean for you personally? By what criteria or features we can determine what is success? Many people simply aspire to it, while not realizing the depth of the meaning of this word. According to the dictionary, success is an achievement of the intended purpose (Cambridge Dictionary). In general, I agree with this statement, but I would like to interpret it wider. Wishing to achieve success in life, a lot of people perceive it as a phenomenon which does not require an explanation. Someone uses the templates and imagines that “ ...

Documentary film “Ethos: Time to Unslave Humanity” presented by Woody Harrelson was produced in 2011 by the director Pete McGain.

“Ethos” is defined in the Cambridge Dictionary as “the set of beliefs, ideas, etc. about the social behavior and relationships of a person or group” (Meaning). So, judging from the name, the film offers the way of unslaving humanity by forming some kind of “correct” social beliefs and behavior. The motto of the film is: “It is impossible to change the system without knowing the process of its work”. The plot of the film shows us all sides of not working system, which contradicts democracy, individual’s liberty and environment. Unlimited and uncontrolled corporate power is defined as the ...

Works of art can communicate critical information on the times in which they were created.

Examples of art works from two distinctly different times and cultures will demonstrate how the art in the Medieval period of European history and Pop Art from the late mid-20th century differ.

The Divine Command theory also known as Theological Voluntarism is a theory that holds the view that morality is dependent on the commands of God and that moral obligations mean obedience to God’s Word (Divine Command).

The viewpoint of these commands is not static and as such is different from one religion to another. Philosophers hold different opinions on this theory; as a result, it has been defended by some and opposed ...

The moral point of view refers to people’s perspective on an issue based on whether the issue is deemed morally applaudable or morally right or wrong. So it involves the resolutions or laws created based on a larger perspective about what is right or wrong, one that affects or impacts more than merely one person, and therefore doesn’t take a person’s self-interest into account. The point of view can be identified by two characteristics: a best practice of deferring to reason; in other words, the resolutions should be the outcome of thoughtful sound reasoning, rather than ...
