Biblical ethics Biblical ethics is based on Christ’s teachings and is quite different from other theorems. The ethical approaches based on the bible are incorporated into most ethics, but the inverse is not valid. Biblical ethics also have one original plan in predicting the outcomes of their observations. When a person follows Biblical ethics, one may incur physical backlashes but is considered to have achieved salvation in the spiritual realm. The promise of salvation allows Christians to observe the rules without question (Arner, 2016, p. 379). Christ-centered ethics, if properly applied, may assist extensively in courtroom confessions. If a suspect or a witness in a court proceeding is a believer, compelling him/her to take an oath while holding the bible would help bring out all possible correct information from them. The act may help eliminate the complexity of applying other forceful information extraction techniques used by interrogative agencies. Therefore, no physical harm would be inflicted on a suspect or witness. Biblical ethics may also be applicable in convincing a suicide attempter to calm down from what grieves him. Psychologists consider…

Aristotle’s argument What traits constitute a moral or ethical person? Over the past years, socialists and philosophers adopt controversial points of view concerning the nature of being noble. The question about what makes a moral person realizes considerable controversy due to diversified opinions adopted by scholars, academicians, theorists, and philosophers. Aristotle and Plato are among the notable philosophers whose work considers some of the significant traits considered when determining who a moral or ethical person is. Whereas Plato emphasizes that the acquisition of knowledge is essential towards becoming a righteous person, Aristotle negates the point of view, and he argues that knowing the good or evil does not necessarily translate to a morally acceptable life. The paper reflects the two philosophers’ points of view towards supporting Aristotle’s argument as the most convincing in explaining who a moral person is. I believe that being ethical or moral is dictated by a person’s behavior, which evidences a desire to help others, correctitude, and honesty. The last two are personal attitudes that curtail an individual from indulging in negative behavior. Maintaining a correct…

Marx’s view of philosophy Marx’s view of philosophy mainly focuses on the interpretation of materialism that is responsible for interpreting the historical development as well as the social development of a people’s class relationship and conflict. It is, therefore, mainly concerned by the struggle between the capitalists as well as the working class. Marx examined the effect that capitalism has on various aspects of human life, such as labor, productivity as well as economic development. In his view of these factors, Marx suggested that for a revolution of workers was to be created to turn over capitalism in favor of communism. Marx also had the view that the relationship of power that existed between the capitalist and the workers was inherently exploitative and would unavoidably lead to the creation of conflicts between various classes. Marx also had a philosophical view that the existing conflict between the social classes, mostly the capitalists and the proletariat as well as the workers, had economic relations in the economy of the capitalist, thus would lead to the rise of revolutionary communism. In his…
