Dharma in Buddhism What are the Essential parts of Dharma in Buddhism From the teachings of Buddha, Dharma was meant to create awareness in Buddhists on how they can overcome human suffering. To help overcome suffering, Buddhists follow the principles of the “Four Noble Truths” that lay the foundation about the origin of suffering and how to overcome it. The first principle of the “Four Noble Truths” is life involves suffering (duhkha) (Sirivaro & Liang, 2018). Buddha spoke of the three types of duhkha, that is, suffering originating from physical and mental pain, pain of failure to recognize that we are conditioned and interdependent and the pain originating from the realization that everything that exists is not permanent. The other principle is that we create our suffering by holding our desires firmly and having sentimental attachments to things that we do not necessarily possess (Sirivaro & Liang, 2018). As human beings, we are likely to get attracted and even hold attachments towards what we do not have. For this reason, we put ourselves in the way of suffering. This is…
Double Effect Test. The doctrine of double effect states that if by doing something that is morally good yet has some potentially harmful effects in it. It is ethical to do it as much as the lousy intention was not intended to happen. Doctors justify a case in which doctors have given patients drugs to relieve a stressful and painful situation, whereas he knows the drugs will shorten his life hence using this principle to solve the issue. The double effect is in justifying the use of a high dosage of drugs such as morphine to relieve pain in terminally sick patients while they know the medicines might cause the patient to die. It is morally permissive for the doctor to agree to the patient’s request reluctantly, and he is supposed to perform this request. Four conditions must be met so as the action can be approved as morally permissive (Fletcher et al., 2015). They will try to see that the right result must be achieved independently of the bad one, and the unfortunate results must not only be the…

Ethics management strategies Ethics management strategies are essential in the management of organizations. Effective ethics management strategies are critical in ensuring that various facets of an organization are well managed in line with relevant ethos and values in the entire organization. In the Berman and Armstrong articles of ethics management strategies, several effective ethic strategies can be used to manage an organization. These strategies are likely to provide room for the organization to realize its noble goals, thus improving the company’s productivity. Among the strategies that I consider useful include setting appropriate ethical standards within the organization. These ethical standards need to be adequately defined through the values and rules of the company. They can as well be defined as the codes of conduct and the relevant policies within the organization. These values should define behaviors on how the company should operate following the set codes and procedures (Armstrong, 2006). Another effective ethic strategy in the two articles is the creation of a committee that is responsible for safeguarding ethics in an organization. This strategy is useful since the values…

Understanding of Cruelty, Morals and Sympathy Cruelty is one of the vices that most societies and Christian believers disapprove. However, philosophers can give an explanation that leaves one in a dilemma of whether cruelty should be a vice. Phillip Hallie, a professor of philosophy, looks into cruelty based on the superficial small-scale side and institutionalized cruelty. He discovers that apart from causing a physical assault to its victims, it also affects their pride, confidence and self-esteem. Giving an example of what took during World War II, the residents of Le Chambon village risked their lives to save 6000 Jews from the Nazis. According to his perspective, the divergence of cruelty is not just avoiding cruelty itself. Additionally, it is not the practices of fighting cruelty using violence and hate; rather, it is inclined in the explicit and modest goodness of the people of Le Chambon village. People from this village who trailed and stuck to what the bible says; be your brother’s keeper and defend them that do not have fathers. By testing the idea of cruelty, Hallie looks at…
Ethics of beliefs in the work of Clifford Ethics of beliefs is the work of Clifford that argues that the individuals in the society should not believe something that they lack evidence about. According to this philosopher, people should not believe in God without understanding the existence of God. The philosopher calls for society to get sufficient evidence about something before getting to believe in it. It is ethically essential for the communities to believe in something for good reason by studying into details. The question asked is whether people have duties to investigate evidence of their beliefs, and the answer is yes. If one fails to investigate, the person will be blamed for the negative consequences that the person suffers in life. Clifford provides an example of a lack of investigation to emphasize the need to investigate and find out more before believing in something. The case used involves a ship-man who was negligent, failed to examine the state of the ship, and believed that it was okay based on the opinions of contractors and shipbuilders. The ship then…
