Essay on Biomedical Ethics Ethics in the medical sector are important as they ensure that health care professionals obey the rights of the patients. Ethics provides solutions to health care providers in situations where health care providers are in confusion or conflict. Utilitarianism and Kant philosophies are popular theories used to solve various ethical dilemmas that arise in biomedical field. Utilitarianism is an ethical and philosophical theory that defines that any action can be taken as long as more people are comfortable with the action. The utilitarianism theory causes harm to the victim but on the other hand it causes joy to many members of the community who benefit from the action performed on the victim. However, Kant’s theory opposes the utilitarianism philosophy where Kant states that some actions like murder are prohibited even if the action brings joy to most members of society. Kant’s egoism rule allows personal interests to be involved while solving ethical dilemmas. Ethics principles and theories provide solutions to most of the ethical dilemmas that occur in the medical sector. Mohammed al-Qahtani was subjected…
virtue ethics Contrary to traditional ethical theories, whose basis is primarily people’s actions, virtue ethics evaluate the moral agent’s nature with a specific focus on their virtue. In this case scenario, virtues are considered to have intrinsic value. There is some fundamental good associated with every virtue ethics identified. The primary definition of virtue ethics involves activities or life aspects that are primarily good such as a morally good person and derives secondary definition from the relationship between these activities and other undefined concepts (Ross, pp 50-56, 1956). The most definitive difference between virtue and traditional ethics is the former’s unrelenting focus on moral agents in preference to moral actions. Furthermore, virtue ethics are different from traditional ethics concerning how practical reasoning is applied as they are more focused on the long-term effect over immediate results. Additionally, it is critical to understand that under virtue ethics, the virtue itself has intrinsic value and thus motivates a moral agent, who ultimately seeks it for its own sake. Aristotle establishes that habit is associated with ethos generated from the word ethical. Habit…
Hate Crime Analysis Introduction Hate crime against the African American population is a five hundred year old vice. Since the slave traders moved millions of African captives and prisoners to cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane plantations in America, the African American people have been subjected to intense violence, prejudice, oppression, and other racially motivated hate crimes. This essay explores certain aspects of this vice such as the descriptive motivations, case examples, state laws criminalizing such hate crimes, and data collection strategies for research into the same. Analysis Hate crimes against the African American people are purely racist. Certain attitudes and even scholarly misdirection in the middle Ages created a misconception that the White race was superior while others were inferior (Desmond, Papachristos, & Kirk, 2016). Therefore, Africans and African Americans were deemed unsuitable for integration, employment, and even respect based on their skin color. Tens of millions of cases demonstrate the hate crimes meted out against the African American race. The millions of African and African American slaves mistreated and subjected to forced labor, rape, imprisonment, and even torture all…

model tensions According to (Janssen et al. 2015), there are four model tensions which are, simplicity, generality, validity, and formality. Tension, as defined by Janssen et al. (2015), is the feeling that is produced in an event when people are anxious and do not trust each other and when there is the possibility of sudden violence or conflict. According to the authors, when making policy and policy simulation, there is a need for finding various ways of avoiding tension that is made in the policymaking. Tension is created between and within four components of the implementing process, idealized policy, implementing organizations, target group, and environmental factors. The tensions bring about exchange designs that could conceivably coordinate the desires for the result of the policy formulators. The exchange examples may get solidified into foundations. Both the exchange designs and the organizations may create tensions which, by criticism to the policymakers and practitioners, may support or reject further usage of the strategy. By utilization of the model, policymakers can endeavor to limit troublesome tensions, which can bring about the disappointment of policy…
Must We Be Just Plain Good? Introduction Nandi Theunissen sets an objective that works to do away with a regress argument that has for a long time been used so as to arrive at a conclusion saying that for anything to be of relational value then there must be human beings who are an end to themselves or have a non-relational value. The method he uses tries to survey a wide range of ways through which the argument for regress can be articulated. Additionally, this method creates a problem for the already formulated ways of regress argument and, in the end, realizing that as human beings we can buy the idea that we also entirely end in ourselves through realizing the existence of the relational value we possess (Theunissen, 2018). Nobody matters just because they are good people, but rather because they are good for another person, and it is for the other people in the surrounding. He continues to emphasize on the fact that someone is good for themselves since they also exist at the center of their lives…
Empiricism, Rationalism, Skepticism, and Pragmatis Introduction A school of thought pertains to an intellectual tradition and refers to the perspective of people having common philosophical outlooks or opinions; it is a belief, cultural movement, or even a shared discipline by a group of people. Philosophical theories are sets of beliefs that account for or explains a general philosophy branch or account for it. Statements that the thinkers believe to be true are the main element of philosophy; however, the truth believed by thinkers that accept various philosophies may be or may not be empirical. Philosophical positions are the stances taken in place of an accepted philosophy and include other dogmas, hypotheses, doctrines, principles, paradoxes, rules laws, with ‘-ologies’, ‘-isms’ and effects. Some of the common schools of thought include Empiricism, Rationalism, Skepticism, and Pragmatism, all which have different theoretical constructs and influences. Empiricism is a philosophical theory, which posits that all knowledge is gained only from primary sensory experiences, and it is a significant pillar of epistemology. This theory gained momentum in the 17th and 18th centuries and was stimulated…

Scientific Revolution Question One: What is scientific revolution? Scientific revolution is a historical period in the 15th, 17th, and 18th centuries that was characterized by the shift to experimental thought system from philosophical perspectives. The period saw the emergence of rationality, truth, and relativism in the definition of reality (Onyekachi, 2017). Authors like Auguste Comte, Isaac Newton, and Rudolf Carnap contributed significantly to the growth of science during this period. The period saw the validation of scientific claims in the construction of theoretical structures that ultimately preferred empirical data. The term revolution emanates from an old Latin word ‘revolution’ which means to roll back. It implies a re-establishment of the old order for new concepts. Theories in this revolution were justified and dismissed based on rationality based on available data. The scientific revolution was a shift of focus in defining matter based on empiricism. Before this period, reality was defined based on unsubstantiated philosophy. Society previously relied on the content of scientific beliefs for their justification to a focus on their veritability. The scientific revolution saw the shift from the…
