Bullying and discrimination are a pervasive and highly damaging situation within school systems throughout the country (NYSUT, 2013). In recent years, this trend has expanded to include issues of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) related bullying and abuse, and the increasing dangers of cyberbullying (i.e. the use of the Internet to abuse classmates), making it paramount to pass legislation that is effective in controlling these trends.

Introduction

The emergence of a collective consciousness towards attaining an enduring kind of peace among different nations of the world has helped foster the concept of human rights. The emergence of the United Nations (UN), a supranational covenant between several nations, has made human rights a compelling concept following years of international conflicts brought by the First and Second World Wars.

World over there are debates on the abuse of rights to humanity. These rights are often documented legally aiming at protecting the human rights.

Further, Catholics consider the continued targeting of civilians in international warfare and terrorist attacks to be ...

For too long, animals that are non-humans have not been accorded the dignity they deserve. The practice is wrong because, chimpanzees do have unique qualities that are essential to the world, if not the society. Take the case of chimpanzees, for instance.

What many people fail to understand is that chimpanzees have emotions, consciousness, abstract thought and political behaviour. Humans are treated with dignity and respect because of more or less the same qualities and, therefore, the same ...

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 ...

Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B.F. Skinner is a challenge to deeply held beliefs regarding the autonomous nature of humans.

Introduction

Mass media plays a very important role in the society today. Its role has significantly increased as compared to the old age times when getting information was a very difficult task. However, as much as the media plays a major role, it has been characterized by the development of some unacceptable trends in the society. For instance, the role that it has played in portraying women negatively cannot be taken for granted. Through media, women have been depicted differently and as such, stereotyping has been a major effect of this. The women have been portrayed as sexist commercials in most of the advertisements ...

Physician –assisted suicide or euthanasia, which means terminating a person’s life, painlessly, with a ‘humane’ motive of putting an end to his suffering, has been going on for centuries. Though it is practiced widely, it is a highly debated issue and there is a lot of controversy surrounding it.

However, today, most of the population, including the society as well as physicians, are in favor of this practice. If the benefits and harms of the practice are to be weighed, practicing euthanasia seems to ...

Introduction

Canada has remained steadily classified by the United Nations as a unique of the ten best countries in which to reside. This is so because the average earnings are high, there is lengthy life anticipation, the populace is healthy, and the populaces are energetic and safe. That said there is a part of the inhabitants who spend their life at the verge of worry, hardly capable of gathering sufficient money to sustain a decent life. Poverty in Canada is old and new. It is old because it has always existed, and it is new because it is not commonly defined as a problem ...

Coope, Christopher Mill. “Death with dignity.” Hastings Center Report, 27.5, (2007): 37.

This is an argument about the greatest disadvantage about euthanasia. It makes the people think that the only ay to die with dignity is by going to euthanasia. This is quiet misleading.

This paper will help in developing an argument against euthanasia. It indicates that the practice tends tow whitewash the minds of the patients and the medical practitioners, thereby blinding ...

Question One: definition of political graffiti

Graffiti remains one of the topics, which attracts attention of political sociologists and other researchers in various discipline. In essence, graffiti has existed for many years, but researchers and political sociologists have paid less attention in terms of examining the roles and functions of graffiti as a form of political participation and political contentious ,despite it conveying and eliciting political messages. The fact that researchers and political sociologies have paid less attention on the topic of graffiti makes it illegitimate and unlawful in repressive regimes. In other words, the government persecutes, charges, and convicts individuals who employ graffiti as a form ...

We live in an age of medicine filled with technological wonders – and difficulties. Andre and Velasquez (2010) state that “medical technology has given us the power to sustain the lives (or, some would say, prolong the deaths) of patients whose physical and mental capabilities cannot be restored, whose degenerating conditions cannot be reversed, and whose pain cannot be eliminated.” This poses a medical and ethical dilemma that has pitted us one against the other – should we allow the people in these positions to choose to die, or do we have a moral obligation to preserve life at all ...

I consider the arguments of Benjamin Powell and Matt Zwolinski (1 – 24) in the defense of sweatshop labor relatively solid and convincing. I agree with all the philosophical arguments that they forwarded except in minor areas in their supporting arguments. As such, this essay is largely a rejoinder of their arguments with additional supportive points that may strengthen their pro-sweatshop labor position. I agree that the labor market for sweatshops continues to be competitive, and the prima facie proof that the sweatshop employment was the best alternative accessible to them rests on the ...

12 Years a Slave Jamestown, Virginia discovered success with the cultivation and export of tobacco to England in 1619. The profit was so high, two imports were arranged: 20 black men for labor and 90 women from England for brides. This is the beginning of slavery in America (Innercity.org 2014). The brutality of slavery was depicted in art, photographs, literature, and journalism. While many slave owners treated their slaves well, history remembers beatings, rape, murder, and splitting families apart. The debate at the time was whether Africans were animals, human, or a blending of the two. The argument was decided ...

Fair trade refers to a trading partnership guided by dialogue, transparency and respect with a motive of fostering equity in international trade. Conventionally, the fair trade proponents have had their focus on encouraging involvement of small-scale producers in international trade through provision on guarantees especially fair prices for their commodities, constant supply relationship and access to credit facilities Clapp & Fuchs, 2009, 5). In my evaluation am going to use transparency, dignity and fairness ethical principles. Concerns have been raised by agri-food actors (farmers, producers and consumers) regarding abuse of market power by major supermarket chains (MSCs). As a result, control or ...
