Philosophy response Response to question one The technological attitude or way of seeing the world, according to Heidegger Martin, is that “Technology is not equivalent to the essence of technology.” Heidegger says, first of all, technology is not an instrument. A human being thinks technology is a means for an end which it is not since it is much bigger than that.” Heidegger explains that the essence of technology is by no means anything technological hence humans shall never experience their relationship to the nature of technology. Heidegger claims that technology is not a product of human activity since people think they are the ones who make technologies, but technologies come from somewhere else. Heidegger state that human beings believe techniques are beautiful and convenient to have. Still, they are dangerous and not just a little bit risky; technologies are the greatest danger. The technological attitude or way of seeing the world, according to Carl Schmitt, is that humans are immersed within the spirit of technology. Schmitt claimed that the sense of technicity provides the analytical purpose of allowing him…
Replying to Thought Experiment Boylan & Michael explores various issues regarding aesthetics, knowledge, and ethics in the book “The good the true and the beautiful.” Most importantly, they exhaustively illustrate how those attributes affect our daily lives (Boylan & Michael, 2008, pg. 44). In the book, the duo creatively demonstrates a unique understanding of the world through thought experiments, which in turn seeks to provide solutions to the questions that have for years nagged philosophers. Boylan & Michael, in thought experiment 3.1, therefore, significantly demonstrates how human life is like preliterate human hunting in the jungle (Boylan & Michael, 2008, pg. 46). Basically, ‘Thought experiment 3.1, is a metaphor that substantially implies working hard against all the odds to accomplish a particular goal. More specifically, as brought up by Boylan & Michael, pg. 49 (2008), thought experiment 3.1 refers to the personal achievement whereby an individual has to strive so hard to beat all odds to survive in a very stiff competition for survival. Thus, to say, in this hunting type of metaphor perspective, good can only be obtained, or…
The story of freedom According to Jean-Paul Sartre’s Quote Citing the political thought, the notion in regards to freedom in reference to Jean-Paull Sarte quote, that ‘freedom is what you do, with what’s been done to you.’ The freedom allowing one to execute their wishes falls under the concept of liberty, and according to the political philosophy, the main dominating issue is the question of coercion and disobedience (Jarrett-Kerr, 2010). For the knowledge I have regarding American Politics, our general views regarding the country have been privately confided. The power is very subtle and highly pervasive, hence curtailing most of us not to speak above our breath or anything related to its condemnation. Out of experience, I have come to realize that America is no longer the place it used to be. A man has no freedom to identify their calling and comfortably pursue it because of the associated inabilities to do it. The reason is I have realized that there exist organizations that are likely to utilize different means against it hence preventing the build-up of the business (Ndubuisi,…
Expansion, Manifest Destiny, and Sectional Divisions In the 19th century, the United States of America believed that it had the divine right to expand and take over the continent. This paper aims to discuss how the citizens of the United States thought in this expansion, which they termed as Manifest Destiny, and how it led to divisions among the citizens based on their beliefs and politics (Shi and Tindall). The paper further goes ahead to discuss how events such as the second great awakening, American transcendentalism, and American romanticism have affected the development of the so-called American mind. The paper discusses in detail how these events affected American development back in the 19th century. When discussing Manifest destiny, often, expansion tends to be touched. Manifest Destiny was a belief back in the 19th century by the Americans that the country and, more specifically, a race within the land known as the Anglo-Saxon race was destined to expand across the continent (Shi and Tindall). It was a political doctrine held by the United States, especially in their expansion. It was a…
Childhood Vaccination Memo INTERNAL MEMO CHILDHOOD VACCINATION FROM : TO : DATE : Nature of the Problem The problem at hand is on childhood immunization. Immunization is one of the ways through which children and adults are protected from any infectious disease. The significance of vaccination is based on the fact that once people get immunized, they will not suffer the threat of facing the disease they are vaccinated against in their lifetime. As a result, therefore, the quality of life of the children is protected. More to this is that the effect of some of these diseases is reduced to almost none because some of the infectious diseases that can easily be spread from one patient to another end up being prevented. In other words, the immunization of one person may end up saving a thousand others from the effects of the same disease. In the economic aspect, vaccination is one of the most effective ways of ensuring that the cost of healthcare is effectively managed. With immunization, the number of health ailments among the population is limited, and…
Unlock The Truth With A Reputed Detective Agency A Detective, as we know, is an investigator who investigates a case mostly criminal in nature and belongs to a government-backed law enforced agencies. But time has changed now, and detectives also work under private firms owned by individuals and cater services as per the client’s requirements. Earlier they use to collect information from crime scenes and from other places which could collectively be used to solve the case, but detectives under private firms are mostly used to collect information and evidence on behalf of a client against the accused (maybe or may not be in the eyes of the law). The clients pay the agency or the detective directly for their services. Why hire a detective agency You might think why we need such a service; the answer is quite simple as if someone wants to raise allegations against a person but wants to do the same with evidence then they reach out to them. Like if a spouse wants to catch their better half being indulged in an extramarital…
Medical Ethics Medical ethic is the act of examining a given medical problem and use-values, logics and facts to make decisions regarding the best course of action. Some difficulty may be straight forward, for example, deciding what is right from what is wrong. Other issues may be involved, such as determining rights. Sometimes a patient opinion may differ from that of the medical team (Laurie & Dove, 2019). It becomes challenging to decide on what is to be done if both parties maintain their grounds. It can take long periods and a lot of consultations to make decisions. AC is a minor diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and prefers to use the Hoxsey treatment. This is a method that was disapproved by the United States Food and drug administration in 1956. The medical team feels that he should go through the second round of chemotherapy. The success rate of three chemotherapies is 90 per cent. The main ethical question is choosing between second chemotherapy or Hoxsey treatment. Stakeholders that are involved in this case are three: AC, who is a 16-year-old…
NURSING PHILOSOPHY The utilization of borrowed theories from different disciplines shows evidence of how the nursing profession is determined to improve patient care in the healthcare sector. Also, the nursing profession has its foundation on borrowed theories from other fields of study since the 18th century. In applying Henderson’s Human Need theory, for instance, the nursing professional ought to focus on the ability of the client to become independent and able to perform their activities without difficulty. Therefore, nurses evaluating the needs of a patient utilize Henderson’s 14 essential wants as guidelines for the evaluation process. The effect of Henderson’s theory on the nursing profession and curriculum has been seen throughout the healthcare sector, and the needs created by the approach have facilitated health care workers to focus on the client as a significant part of recovery from illness (Barrett, 2017). The theory’s fundamental needs have acted as the foundation for the emergence of other theories that have shaped the health of human beings. Henderson has contributed significantly to the healthcare sector, especially in developing the nursing curriculum. Among her…
gods and ethics Introduction Ethics refers to what is considered right or wrong in society. In different religions, certain people do not agree with the ethical codes of their gods and thus oppose their ideas and dwell on their ideologies instead. Ajax is an example of a rebel who doesn’t conform to his gods’ ideologies after Oddyseus defeated him in a contest to possess Archilles’ invisible armor. This annoyed him, and he decided to rebel that idea and sort out to kill Odysseus to reclaim the armor. Ajax does not want to give in and repent because he strongly feels that Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, and also the soldiers that voted Odysseus went against him. This is because he was considered as the heir to Archille’s armor since he was the second-best warrior after him. (Sophocles,2017, 65-66). He thought this was an injustice against him from the gods since he was better in battle than Odysseus, who was considered good in diplomatic ways and also a coward. He refuses to apologize because he says that the gods…
