Many insurance companies have over the years taken advantage of their customers. Medical insurance companies have used the preexisting condition of their clients to deny them coverage that they desperately need. Clearly health insurance companies are not out to assist their clients but to maximize their profits. In the case of Rosalyn Schwartz, her insurance provider refused to extend insurance for ulcers.

This was because she already had ulcers at the time she sought to have her own health insurance. One of things that should have been done differently in the case of Rosalyn Schwartz was that in her ...

Thesis Abstract

In every society, extra marital affairs have actually been in existence from the time immemorial. Infidelity is maybe as old as the marriage. In the sophiscated western societies these affairs have become a fashion and are regarded as an extra qualification to enhance one’s self esteem to argue that he or she owns a ‘lover on the side.’ Nevertheless, ethically and morally, it is sinful or wrong to have such affairs, the truth remains that a large number of wives and husbands in the contemporary society fall prey to this unlucky serpent where many families breakdown and mostly ...

“Are You Popular?” (1947)

The short “Are You Popular?”, like many Coronet shorts in the Prelinger Archives, manages to find ways to emphasize and encourage postwar conformist norms in the last 1940s to play up the need to belong and behave. The film encourages popularity as a virtue, and tells people why being popular is important, asking: “How does a person get to be popular with lots of people, and have a few close friends too?” First, physical appearance is a huge factor; Caroline is attractive and safe, and the students have “heard no scandal about her”. This means ...

Marriage is a term that signifies an agreed union or vow between two consenting adults who signified intentions of living together within the conditions stipulated in their religious, civic, or cultural affinities. As could be deduced, since people come from diverse cultural, ethnic, racial and religious orientations, the beliefs and value systems incorporated within the matrimonial vow or ceremony differs accordingly. For one’s personal understanding and perspective, marriage is conceptualized as one of the sacraments of the Catholic Church that unites man and woman from the time of the matrimony until their demise – or the famous words: until ...

In regards to relativism and subjectivism we can establish that holding a moral belief is a subjective opinion, but using the divine command theory can lead us to the conclusion that morality has the possibility of objectivity. Opinions could be based on personal culture/folklore, family history, or media portrayal. Unless one can strip away all of these subjective opinion inducing factors, an individual’s specific morality cannot be objective and most likely won’t be relevant to a large amount of ethical situations. This bias obviously limits objectivity, since opinions are decided by a person’s background and social ...

In regards to Relativism and subjectivism we can establish that holding a moral belief is a subjective opinion, but using the divine command theory can lead us to the conclusion that morality has the possibility of objectivity.

Internalization of Oppression

Reading this article made me feel sick to think of how women suffered with binding of their feet, burning alive, and submitting to vaginal mutilation. I felt glad to live in a society that does not believe in any of these practices. I am surprised by the internalization of oppression. If I was a widow and my husband’s family wanted me to be burned alive with my husband’s corpse, I would run as far and as fast as I could. Hopefully, I would not have married into such a belief in the first place. I suppose certain ...

Children’s psychological effects of divorce seem devastating, and most divorcing couples are totally oblivious of how much their private conflicts have lasting effects on their children’s psychology. Unfortunately, most parents do not stop to think of the consequences of treating their future ex-spouses inappropriately. In addition, they do not fathom their perpetual behavior of maligning them in the presence of their children. These adolescents or children undergo serious manipulation from their parents for financial, social, and personal reasons (Ogloff & Schuller, 2000). It is evident that children from divorced families have the imposition of psychological problem challenges than ...

All over the world, couples get married each single day. Families and friend come together with joy and expectation to witness them make the most important promises in their lives: loyalty and marriage vows. Loyalty always makes us think of such instances where we show unconditional love and affection to those around us. In essence, loyalty is more complex, much intense; it can either be positive or negative, and it is a virtue that we ought to show ourselves before showing it to others. At its best, I would say loyalty implies caring for and supporting the people we ...

In many countries, monogamy is required by law so divorce will ...

Initially, Utopia is an ideal place that is characterized by its social, moral and political aspects. Ideally, when one comes from Utopia, he or she is deemed to be rich in morals. Therefore, it may be surprising that one’s experience in a different environment might identify the new culture to be challenging or accommodative. Accordingly, some of the ideologies that are used to describe the society are deemed to be impractical and non realistic with respect to other cultures (Homer, 65). Ideally, the term was coined to establish a community that has exceedingly desirable due to the available ...

I believe that a problem found in my exploratory essay regards Gay Marriage. Many people feel that it is a "should they or shouldn't they" topic. I believe that all people should be allowed "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", as defined in the United States Constitution. Although this is stated in our Constitution, many people in this great nation have issues allowing two people of the same sex to have intimate relationships with one another. They use hate speech, isolating those who have essentially "come out of the closet" and can intimidate those who are ready to ...

Is the Welfare State obsolete?

The welfare state was first introduced by William Beveridge, in an effort to overcome hindrances to the rehabilitation of society after the war, by providing social security, free education, health service, housing and employment (GCSE Bitesize, 2014).

The LGBT community is gaining progress in many separate states concerning their civil rights, but it appears that where progress ...

Cultural practices differentiate one society from another. Since culture is “the set of learned behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, values, and ideals that are characteristic of a particular society or population” (Ember et al. 217), a cultural tradition would speak volumes about that society. A festival, in particular, is a rich representation of particular culture. The Annual Tournament of Roses Parade at Pasadena, California is an appropriate example of such festival. This event has just turned 125 years old and it reflects the beliefs, attitudes and values of the residents, not only in Pasadena, but also in the State of California.
