This conflict of interest, on the whole, does not exist with the trained and qualified
Does a declaration of war justify behaviour that would be unacceptable in peacetime?
Does a declaration of war justify behaviour that would be unacceptable in peacetime? Whether or not the declaration of Just War justifies behaviour that is morally or legally unacceptable in peacetime depends firstly on the sort of behaviour we are talking about. There are a number of behaviours that are legally permitted in peacetime that many people would and do reject as morally unacceptable. This includes abortion, euthanasia and animal rights. The legal acceptability of these issues depends on the government, and varies from state to state. In this country, during peacetime it is acceptable to kill in self defence - for instance, if one's house is being robbed and the burglar threatens the owner, the owner would not be penalized for shooting and killing the burglar. Pacifists object to all kinds of killing in both war and peacetime, whereas just war supporters try to draw parallels between civil justice and international justice in the attempt to justify certain behaviour. There are also behaviors such as propaganda, espionage and deliberate infringement of human rights that are more doubtful and are usually seen as unacceptable in peacetime. Certain examples of violent behaviour in peacetime in hindsight appear unacceptable, yet at the time those guilty were not prosecuted. There have been a number of incidents when armed Police officers have shot dead suspects who
`I know God exists, because I have an idea of perfection Discuss whether knowledge can be gained without using sense experience
`'I know God exists, because I have an idea of perfection' Discuss whether knowledge can be gained without using sense experience The argument for God's existence often prompts debate, and provides contrasting responses. The idea of perfection is often described as a state of 'completeness and flawlessness' Rene Descartes's 'trademark' argument for the existence of God is likened to the existence of a clothing brand designer. The 'Trademark' analogy claims that by searching one's interior deeply they will find the concept of God implanted within them. This is likened to finding the name of a designer on an item of clothing. The implications of this are that if this is the case, the argument for the existence of innate knowledge is relatively strong. The presence of knowledge of God's existence prior to experience would suggest that innate knowledge is achievable. The existence of innate knowledge is a view held by rationalists, whilst Empiricists are strongly against the existence of this particular kind of knowledge. The acquisition of knowledge is reliant on a claim about the world, which can only be true. The view that, "we know only what our experience teaches us" is one held by many Philosophers in the empiricist school of thought. Empiricists believe that all knowledge is derived from and checked against sense experience. What we know or knowledge can be defined as a
What Can A Study Of Marks Gospel Tell Christians Of Different Denominations About The Meaning And Importance Of The Sabbath
What Can A Study Of Marks Gospel Tell Christians Of Different Denominations About The Meaning And Importance Of The Sabbath By Emily Longstaff 'Keep the Sabbath holy', was the forth commandment read by Moses from the stone tablets. Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday so for them that is there Sabbath that means that, to them, that one-day in the week is holy and to keep it this way they must rest and avoid any form of work at all costs. Jewish people, although they too believe in the Sabbath, worship it on a different day. This is because they believe god created the world in six days, and on the seventh day, he rested. Therefore it is important to them to worship the Sabbath on a Saturday. The Sabbath for both religions is defined as a day of rest where no work must be done and is also a day of worship. Pharisees were devoted to keeping the Sabbath. They not only enforced this but also came up with many new rules around what was allowed on this day. For example the disciples were picking corn when out with Jesus one Sabbath day (Mark 2:23-28) And by the Pharisees rules this was not allowed. However Jesus did not agree with this and thought it wasn't right that the Pharisees should have such power, especially over himself. One Sabbath day Jesus was asked to heal a man with a withered hand (Mark 15:42-47) he performed this action without question
Explain the difference between moral relativism and cultural relativism
Owen Taylor R.P.E. Essay 20th September 2008 a) Explain the difference between moral relativism and cultural relativism Relativism is the principle that all points of view are equally valid and that all truth is relative to the individual. Moral and cultural relativism are perceived by many as somewhat similar and are easily confused. However there is a substantial difference between the two, which will be explored in the following. Cultural relativism is the manner that a person's attitude and conduct should be understood in terms of his or her culture. It explains the reasons why those from different cultures have a vastly different way of life. Cultural diversity has been documented since the earliest times. The Greek historian Herodotus travelled around the world and found it vastly different from his native homeland "The customs of the Getae...when a baby is born the family sits around and mourns at the though of suffering it must in endure...but when somebody dies, they bury him with merriment and rejoicing" this exemplifies the gulf between beliefs throughout the world then. Now, there are still limitless different beliefs in the world. One of these is the death penalty. It is enforced in numerous countries such as the United States and Thailand yet in even more countries it is highly frowned upon showing the cultural
How is the bible used in private and congregational worship
How Is The Bible Used In Private And Congregational Worship? The Bible is often used by Christians in times of need to provide guidance and comfort. The Bible is split into two different sections, the Old Testament, and The New Testament. The Old Testament talks about The Jews and Gods Prophets. The New Testament talks about Jesus, his life, teachings and death. How Christians use the bible in private worship really depends on the individual person and their beliefs, how they choose to interpret the bible etc. There are three different ways of interpreting the bible. The literal view, the liberal view and the conservative view. Christians that take the literal view think that everything in the bible is the literal word of God, and do not believe any of it is meant in a metaphorical way. People that take the liberal point of view believe it is the word of God but think it is wrong to question it. And Christians who take the conservative point of view believe that some things in the bible are to be taken in a metaphorical way. In liturgical churches, bible passages are read in a lectionary, which is a set routine for the readings. The passages that are read, weekly at services, are chosen to suit the congregation, so they will be able to relate the readings to their everyday lives. Passages are also chosen in-sync with festivals. For example, the story of the last supper
Outline the Roman Empire's attitude to Christianity until the end of the first century.
Q: Outline the Roman Empire's attitude to Christianity until the end of the first century. The Christian church from its outset has faced many challenges as a result of external influences; one of the most important of these influences was the persecution of the Christian people by the Roman Empire. From the year 64AD onwards the church was persecuted by the Roman authorities in an intermittent and sporadic manner, not on account of their beliefs, but was a result of chance and circumstance. Christianity was born out of Judaism and appeared as an entity after the death of Christ. Of course Jews of the time felt threatened by the emergence of Christianity as a faith, and so the earliest persecutions of Christians occurred at the hands of Jewish Sadducees, who branded Christians 'blasphemous'. Indeed it is clear that the Jews played a part in persecution of Christians as late on as AD156 in the persecution of Polycarp. The persecution of Christians in the first century by Jews however were minimal in comparison to the much more widespread and systematic persecutions by the Roman authorities from the year AD64 onwards. Before this date Christians were accepted as a national sect of Judaism, and therefore they enjoyed the status of 'religio licita'- a lawful or tolerated faith. The Roman Empire even protected many Christians against Jewish attack in the early years. This all
As we know, philosophers divide ethical theories into three major
As we know, philosophers divide ethical theories into three major classes. They are Metaethics(descriptive), Conceptual(applied), and Normative(prescriptive). Metaethics basically takes the scientific approach to concocting where exactly our ethical principals and philosophies come from (Feiser, 2005). Descriptions and explanations of moral behaviors and beliefs are provided on the basis of facts studied by such specialists of anthropology, sociology and history (Beauchamp & Bowie, 2005). Conceptual ethics covers huge controversial issues on the basis of what is right, good, and established by justice, virtues, responsibilities and obligations. These credited terms are examples submitted by Beauchamp and Bowie on page 6 of our text. James Feiser explains that issues such as abortion, animal rights, capital punishment, nuclear war, etc. would fall under conceptual ethics. Normative ethics distinguishes the differences between what is right and wrong (Feiser, 2005); what mom and dad taught us growing up. It is defined by what is accepted as the societal "norm" (Beauchamp & Bowie, 2005). Is killing someone ok? No. Is saving a life ok? Yes. Is defending your life ok? Yes. If either the attacker or defendant dies in an act of self-defense for one's life, who's to blame? In our society, what is established as the norm is if the attacker dies, the defendant is not held
The Virtues in the company: Prudence: Indispensable or only acomplement for the good enterprise handling?
The Virtues in the company: Prudence: Indispensable or only a complement for the good enterprise handling? Which are the tools on which there are to count an outstanding industralist? It will be sufficient to count only on a complete theoretical frame, or will be required an integral education that also includes the education of own moral values of each person? Often we questioned ourselves about which there is to have an industralist successful leader and, who is able to take their organization to the top. There are some who maintain that a prestigious formal education is all the necessary one to develop the potentialities of the person, and to form to whom it will have under his responsibility, the future of the companies. to happen this, industralists outstanding and more successful would not exist than others; if all counted on the same education, and this by itself is sufficient, there would not be companies that emphasized by on the others. It seemed to be, that in no case it is sufficient simply to count on education and theoretical models, although yes are necessary. To be industralist successful (in all the scopes which it means), it is necessary to have in addition, a complete formation personal, composed by Christian and universal values, that differentiates to a man average, to one truely successful one. Here the virtues that each man has
Arguments For Property Dualism
Arguments for Property Dualism Property dualism proclaims the existence of a single, physical substance (unlike Cartesian dualism), but argues that this single substance has two potential properties: physical and mental states that are not reducible. It is not just that we might talk of mental and physical states in different ways, but that the difference is in ontology as well as language. This is equivalent to historical notions that living things contained some 'vital force'. Essentially mental states are an extra property of matter in the brain. Property dualists argue that consciousness is caused by the physical processes of the brain and that mental properties are caused by physical properties, but have no effect themselves on the physical properties, making the relationship one way. Fundamentally, property dualism is an advancement of substance dualism, and over this theory it has several advantages. Firstly, by having only a single substance it avoids to the problems of interaction and location associated with the non-spatial Cartesian mental substance. Secondly, it is not rooted in religious beliefs and is thus more scientifically based than Descartes' theory. Thirdly property dualism is compatible with Descartes' arguments that the mind has properties that are distinct from the body, thus taking the benefits whilst leaving the drawbacks. Finally, property dualism
