Essays on Refusal.

Theme of human`s destiny and determinism of the existence are the leading ones in an Athenian tragedy Oedipus Rex composed by Sophocles.

However, he failed to see them or on the contrary had misinterpreted them. One may point out five major mistakes that Oedipus makes which began and finished ...

What makes a murderer? This question has often confounded many researchers, scientists and criminologists. Understanding the underlying motivation of a killer is important to researchers, scientists and policymakers to create responsive laws and policies that could minimize the instances of this crime. Some believed that murder, like some diseases, runs in the family. This means that if one has an ascendant or ascendants that committed murder or had killed in the past, then it is likely that the person will also commit a similar crime. Others, however, lay the blame on the environment in which a person has been ...

Through the ages punishment as a sociocultural phenomenon has changed its aim and methods; however, the main meaning to community hardly transformed.

Historical context

Introductory Statement

Executive and managers of all levels are responsible for implementing and coping with so many issues within organizations. Certainly, all types of concerns and tasks are equally significant, however, in recent years, ethical principles and manners happened to take a first place within a corporate culture. In light of this tendency, the author exemplifies and addresses three hypothetical scenarios accounting for discipline, diversity and personal relationships with a purpose of illustrating how contemporary managers are supposed to handle them.

Discipline in the Workplace

Discipline and organizational values are expected to go hand in hand with the aim of proving that the company follows ...

Communication with insureds as well as settlement of cases is considered to be the fundamental duty of an insurer. In actual fact, failure of an insurer of insurance entity to inform insureds or to communicate settlement offers might result into serious harm to the insured. “This duty to communicate most often distills to the insurer timely conveying the plaintiff's settlement offers or demands to the insured. The insurer's fulfillment of its duty to communicate allows the insured to take reasonable steps to protect its interests” (Richmond, 2014, p. 500). For example, an insured or indemnified person that is conusant ...

Group Interaction

Group C interaction involved a discussion of the videos, The Politics of Sociology and Planning a Playground. The group interaction, however, faced different challenges as the group lacked cohesion. The lack of cohesion was mainly because of poor communication amongst group members. Consequently, some group members were not fully prepared for the discussion. The issue of preparedness was, however, countered by allowing discussion of ideas by members who had already prepared in advance; therefore, allow the unprepared members time to compose their ideas. Due to issues of unpreparedness, there was unequal participation in the group. Two or three group ...

Introduction

A conscience clause is a legal clause in the United States that was implemented by George W. Bush that protects the right for pharmacists, physicians, and other health care providers from providing certain medical services due to the individual or group's religion or conscience (Nelson & Dark, 2003). A clause is usually used for situations like abortion and contraception. Unfortunately, when the roles of professionals in the medical world intertwine with personal belief systems, there will be a clash of values, opinions, and beliefs and the end result won't benefit anyone. A majority of the states follow conscience clauses. Most ...

Informed Consent and Ethical Challenges

Informed Consent and Ethical Challenges

The major ethical consideration in this case is the idea that Mrs. G had a chance at recovery and, instead, is opting to allow her illness to take her. In this case, it is important for the medical practitioner to understand the obligations that they have towards the patient in regards to her right to make the decision for herself. In this case, while the treatment has a chance to help her, it also has very low odds of doing so. Furthermore, the costs that the family will be left with seem to outweigh ...

“Mulatto” is a play written by Langston Hughes in the thirties of the previous century. The play explores the issues of the race such as lynching and miscegenation as well as the tragedy of family relationships between father and son during a difficult and controversial period in the social relations in America. The author received the national reputation of a dramatist due to the performance of “Mulatto” in 1935 by Martin Jones on Broadway. The play appealed to the public of Broadway because it examined the theme of tragic mulatto that symbolized the failure of the myth of egalitarianism. ...

The Problems of Conscientious Objection

Conscientious objection, in the context of the nursing environment, is a situation in which a nurse does not feel comfortable with his or her role in a particular medical procedure. The topic of discussion here will be elective termination of pregnancy, or colloquially speaking, abortion (Wicclair, 2011). There are many reasons that nurses or other medical professionals may choose to object to certain medical procedures, but the issue of abortion is easily the one that becomes the most problematic in many countries (Wicclair, 2011). Different countries have different rules regarding the existence of conscientious objection; some doctors and nurses ...

Social Conditioning, Obedience, and the Rwandan Genocide

1. While genocide is generally something that we conceive of as ordered and carried out primarily by state authorities with the compliance of citizens, it was shocking to learn that in the Rwandan genocide, although an extremist militia group was responsible for masterminding the genocide, many individuals at many levels from government officials to regular citizens, actively participated in the killings. It was sickening to watch how nauseatingly violent regular people could be towards other human beings, let alone former acquaintances and friends. Given the fact that genocide continues to this day (Darfur), Burger’s research into obedience remains ...

Question 1

The Doonesbury cartoon presented in the question contains the quintessential arguments both for and against social justice. The NAACP representative in the cartoon—really a representative of all minority groups that fight for social justice—is acting by calling in doomsday propositions based on the current events in society. This is a parody that many people in the majority have about minority cultures—that because really terrible forms of discrimination were in the past and are no longer practiced, modern society does not need to recognize that there are still forms of discrimination practiced every day.

There is generally a sense ...

Negotiations has always played a significant role in the history of humankind. Sometimes negotiations helped to prevent war, in other cases the result was the opposite. Nowadays there are many psychological books about how to conduct negotiations to get a deserved result and how to avoid mistakes, as well as there are many fiction books where an author describes negotiations.

Deciding not to vote is a tough decision to make given that in the modern world, voting is the sole way of realizing democracy. It is through voting that society gets leaders who represent the society’s interests to the executive. Society further gives the voted in representational power to make decisions on their behalf (read society). Challenges arise when the elected representatives leave the people who elected them to live in the city. In no time, would have been detached from the electorate to the extent that they barely know the needs of the people they purport to represent.

The patient is the ultimate decision maker concerning his/her medical care. It is the patient who gives the final word on whether to undergo a recommended medical procedure or treatment. The purpose of the physician in patient care is just to determine the best treatment for the patient’s problem based on their medical knowledge and judgment and present the recommendation to the patient to seek for their consent (Parker, 2013). The physician is to provide the patient with the necessary information on their condition and the treatment recommended, its benefits, possible risks, the complications in the procedure and if ...

The alarming self-centeredness has raised a lot of concern from scientists, socialists, psychologists, and scholars in general. As a result, it has been investigated and researched widely in order to come up with ways of combating and reducing its levels in the social realms. In this line of thought, Twenge and Campbell (2009) addressed self- centeredness and ...

Abstract

The ethical issue of vaccination in the United States has become a controversial one of late, despite its status as a long-standing medical practice borne of practical results and rigorous scientific study. However, recent years have seen a rise in the anti-vaccination movement, cultivated chiefly through the Internet and popular cultural figures advocating for vaccine refusal. When viewing and examining this issue from a utilitarian perspective, it becomes clear that compulsory vaccination remains a moral and ethical imperative, regardless of the controversy that has surrounded it. The ethical issue of vaccination in the United States has become a controversial one of late, despite its ...

If I had to choose a legend in the world of boxing, this title would definitely belong to Muhammad Ali, as no other person stayed even barely close to the great man of all times. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” is an expression, that became Muhammad Ali’s calling card, and later was developed into a boxing tactics for many amateurs and professionals. The story of Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. (Muhammad Ali’s real name) is not a legend of a boy from a poor family, who decided to use the help of professional sports in order to avoid poverty.

Life-saving and postponing a patient’s death is a doctor’s main obligation and, undoubtedly, in most cases, the decisions that doctors make definitely make a difference to the outcome of a patient’s condition. Upon graduation, each doctor takes the Hippocratic Oath, which states that a doctor’s role is to practice medicine with honesty, give no deadly medicine, and use their best ability and judgment, when treating a patient, among others. However, there are times when a doctor is unable to help save a patient’s life resulting in the death of the patient. Doctors should not be blamed for failing to save patients’ lives, ...

The accuracy of the second language use has for long been a center of focus among many societies. The societies placed high expectations on people on how they should use the second language in communication. Adherence to the rules was something one had to observe without any compromise (Chang, 2009). However, things took a new direction when Hymes came up with the idea of communicative competence in 1970s. In this policy, the knowledge of the speaker on the linguistic rules and the socio-cultural rules of speaking that apply to the second language was equally regarded. This was a time when the trends ...

In a broad context, the system of justice embraces judges, police, prosecutors, public defenders, court personnel, private bar, and a variety of court decision enforcement agencies, such as, for example, penal institutions. Whatever the variety of justice ...

“A man said to the universe: ‘Sir, I exist!’ ‘However,’ replied the universe, ‘The fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.’”—Stephen Crane The above quote made by Stephen Crane highlights the personal philosophy which Crane had concerning nature or “the universe,” which may appear at have a certain detachment concerning its relationship with humans. This point is further emphasized by Harold Bloom's introduction in the critical work entitled, Stephen Crane in the following: “[Stephen Crane's] mode wasrenderedwith a meticulous nihilism, a deep sense of the meaninglessness of life except for what could be converted ...

- Is recruiting nurses from abroad a good idea for U.S hospitals facing worker shortages? While recruiting from other nations might help fulfil the dearth of nurses faced by U.S hospitals currently, such recruitment can have unintended effects of local unemployment in the country itself unless they are matched by funding and training of domestic nurses to match requirements in the future. This increases domestic discontent, fall in the image of the organisation and have effects on visa regulation as has been seen after 9/11.

The Great Divorce a great work of Lewis that attempts to challenge the assumption that humanity will be saved in the end. Lewis revisits the controversial subject of Hell and Heaven and the humanity’s desire of leading a happy life. The book develops a story that explains the people’s course from Hell to Heaven through which the narrator understands that human beings are presented with the opportunity of staying in the heaven, but fail to explore this chance because they prefer to stay in Hell. Lewis develops this concept by creating a scenario where he allows the cursed spirits to have a “ ...

The topic of Abortion Law in United States seems to be a big issue for both American people and American lawyers. In my opinion, the number one reason of this is that abortion law is different all over the states. The US has long held its conservative views on abortion: in Europe, they were legalized much more earlier. From state to state there were some concessions, but it didn’t change the situation very much. The turning point came in 1973 at the end of the process, "Roy vs. Wade", which began in 1970 in the state of Texas. ...

Decision-making is a vital process to any patient. Typically, there are competent and incompetent patients who make and take ready-made medical decisions respectively. However, is it necessary to make decisions for the incompetent, and if so, why? What are the rights given to competent patients in making medical decisions and why is it important for patients to make decisions for themselves? The complexity of the problem of decision making for incompetent patients is best evident, for example in patients who are under age and their parents need to make an informed decision concerning their health..

A common issue in the workplace that is closely related to ethics is the formation of glass ceiling in the organizations for women and minorities. This issue is wrong on both legal and moral grounds. Not only the legal jurisdiction has been done on the issue, but the issue is being taught in the human resource courses in order to improve the situation. One of my friends was working in a leading organization. She was working really hard and was achieving all her targets. Every month she remained a top performer, and outperformed the rest. Even her co-workers were happy ...

Thomas Paine, a political activist, theorist, and a philosopher in his pamphlet "common sense" inspired people to protest and fight for independence from the Great Britain. Common sense explained why they needed independence and the advantages independence would bring to the people of America. It also presented them with an argument for freedom just in the right time when independence was a vital issue. It communicated in a manner that ordinary people understood, shunning philosophical references used by other writers, and referring to the Bible to speak to the people. Thus, it was seen as the most incendiary and most accepted booklet of ...

Bertolt Brecht has long been viewed as one of the first practitioners of what is known as the epic form of theater, in which he sought to bring novel changes to drama, breaking away from the conventional forms. These alterations were part of an attempt to bring significant change to society at large. In this particular case, Brecht created a new aesthetic that was designed to usher in a Marxist revolution; indeed, his entire purpose in life was to free humanity from the material form of suffering. In The Good Person of Szechwan, the viewer sees the ways in which social ...

In his Gothic tales of horror, Edgar Allan Poe focuses on the literal and figurative elements of death. This may have to do with the fact that one of his earliest memories was sitting and watching his mother cough her life away, a victim of tuberculosis. Whether it is the fear of the descending pendulum that was one of the creative torture devices of the Spanish Inquisition or the more metaphorical aspects of the Red Death, the end of life is a topic that fascinates Poe, and it infuses almost all of the elements in his stories. The connection between the ...

Explanation of the Theory

Ageism literally translates to discrimination on account of the age of an individual. The treatment of an individual based on his age relates to different kinds of activities mostly related to employment. As a social problem, ageism is a phenomenon that differentiates itself from other common types of discrimination – racism and sexism, for instance, in that it can affect everyone in the world due to the simple fact of aging. Inevitably, every person is bound to become older and the creation of cultural facets against aging, such as those that portray getting old in a negative light to the extent that it ...
