challenges associated with the use of the internet Most people advocate for a right to privacy. Indeed, several philosophers have justified a right to privacy on internet activities such as online shopping. However, some researchers argue that some circumstances call measures against the right of privacy for the benefit of public good as well as honoring others’ rights. According to a study conducted by consumer surveys, concerns about privacy is one of the reasons discouraging consumers from using internet services such as online shopping. As a result, the topic of whether greater government regulation is the answer to privacy concerns o the internet remains. Given the wide variety of challenges associated with the use of the internet as well as the narrow scope of its users’ knowledge and skills, greater government regulation is the answer to privacy concerns of the internet. In a recent study conducted by Pew Research Center (PRC), approximately 70% of Americans use social media. Despite the internet-based economy offering numerous benefits, concerns for maintaining information privacy have risen in the recent past as the number of…

Journalism tends to offer truth and information in the most convenient way possible. However, a fact cannot be righty identified since it is complex to define using philosophical approaches. Questions are asked on whether the type of information describes the ethical strategies used or the ethical methods applied to all kinds of information. Some…
Plato’s apology of Socrates Plato’s apology of Socrates is one of the greatest literary works that have managed to link philosophy and literature through pointing of philosophers traits. The Apology which Socrates presented, trying to prove his innocence after being accused of corrupting the minds of Athenian youths and Atheism, the application of the power of persuasion is evident. This is seen through the use of rhetorical devices pathos, logos and ethos, which have been applied throughout the text. Firstly, the application of ethos which entails appealing to the audience on ethical grounds aiming to persuade them on integrity of the moral character of the orator is evident at the beginning of the speech, whereby he appeals to the jury by denoting that he was more than seventy years of age and the first time to have appeared in court of law. At this point, he tries to outlay that he has lived for a long time and without committing a crime; in other words, he has lived a respectful life. Also, ethos is seen in the story of Oracle…
Religion philosophy Religion philosophy has become a distinct innovation discipline for the past 200 years and still counting. Main topics in the subject being how divine nature existence, how humankind relates to the religion and place of the religious life which is thought to be with the human since the invention of the philosophy. Philosophers come in with examined facts of the truth with relations of justification for the claims. Anselm came up with a philosophy that he described as proslogium. He proofed by giving an example that when even a fool hears of the existence of a jerk, he/she understands and supposes in reality by following alone. He says there is existence in the mind of a being. However, Anselms’s argument fails to due to presence of other concepts of Gods incoherence (Himma n.p) Paley argued that the world’s complexity suggests the presence of a sovereign being. He, therefore, indicates that there exists a designer who is God (Meyer 3). Paley’s argument significantly fits with the flow of biblical stories of God and creation. Pascal is unimpressed by any…
The Argument for Incompatibilism Introduction Most of the debates that philosophers have are not new, and one of such issues includes the problem of free will and determinism. This paper details the two individually plausible but jointly incompatible theses, which is free will and determinism. The paper starts with identifying the thesis of determinism, the thesis of free will and the notion of “physically possible future” and how the notion is used in giving precise formulation of determines and free will. The next is reasons science give for believing that determinism is at least possible. Then, reasons for believing that we have free will, the thesis of incompatibilism, and finally, the argument for incompatibility. The thesis of Determinism and Free Will Determinism is the thesis that there is precisely one physically possible future at any given moment. It states that past conditions and the laws of nature determine everything that happens. On the other hand, the fact that there are alternative courses of action that one can act freely on particular occasion only if that action is not the only…
Rules of Life Introduction “The energy of the mind is the essence of life”. The words of Aristotle spell out my reasons to want my children to be raised under the influence of Plato and Aristotle. Plato looks into the art of knowing what is good and being able to distinguish it from what is wrong. Aristotle, on the other hand, evaluates the reality of the world and how best people can navigate through it using logical reasoning and the mind. Ideally, raising children is something that people do not take for granted. this is because the way the child turns out is reflective of the parents and the environment in which the child was raised.

I am positive they can be impactful when raising my children in the future. In this paper, I will be highlighting the reasons why I find it best to raise my children…
Codes of Ethics in All Health and Allied-health Professionals.

The allied-health experts play a pivotal role in delivering services about the identification, evaluation, diseases and disorder stoppage, dietary and nutrition amenities, rehabilitating, and managing health structures Saxon et al., (2014). According to the Association of Schools of Allied-health Professionals, realized that the number of allied-health caregivers in the health care industry was going to grow exponentially up-to-date. As a result, creating solid grounds for such professionals to collaborate boldly with other health care providers such as doctors, nurses a set of codes of ethics was critical valuable (Dahnke, 2014). Since the individuals play a vital role in evaluating and assessing the patient’s requirements as well as informing physicians on patient’s progress, setting codes of ethics that guide them all through the profession was expressively imperative.

Forensic Psychology The justice system involves a total understanding of legal responsibilities and principles about testimonies and witnesses in a specific area. The criminology system, therefore, involves these systems of justice and forensic psychology that involves the study of fundamental principles such as jurisdictional concerns, witnesses, insanity, and criminological competence to prosecution and trial. In some countries, for example, the united states, the justice system defines madness as a component in one state to enhance interactions between attorneys, legal professional, and judges. Significantly, forensic psychology involves the ability to provide real testimonies in the court of law to formulate psychological conclusions and findings. The witness and the application of legal languages in the courtroom includes essential information to enhance complete understanding to the legal personalities, credibility in the provision of witnesses and knowledge of criminology and philosophical standards and rules (Rogers, 2016). Psychology must have a clear understanding of the criminology systems, exclusionary practices, and the hearsay evidence to maintain the credibility of forensic psychology in the court of law. Generally, the justice system allows forensic psychologists to carry out…
Designing an Enterprise Architecture Using TOGAF Framework Abstract Healthcare institutions are among the most diverse public sectors that face difficulties in structuring and coordinating their IT resources. Systems in the hospital information system typically function separately and heterogeneously in delivering clinical data. The lack of coordination and compliance with the business goal contributes to an improvement in the inability to enforce IT (Seebregts et al., 2017). The organizational design is regarded as a remedy to these issues, but no systematic advice to apply it to the hospital is accessible at the moment. Existing theoretical strategies have not tackled two main criteria of hospital information systems designs which are the capability to accommodate several divisions, and the full vision of the whole topology, from the Organization to infrastructure design (Hakim et al. (2019). The paper aims at identifying the best way to construct business architecture for hospital data by specifying the requirements of the design, evaluating current systems to satisfy the needs, and designing an effective enterprise using TOGAF framework. The case study supports work at King Fahd University Hospital, the…
