Is Islam a religion of the intellect or religion of the emotions?             Traditionally, reason and faith are perceived as sources of justifications for particular religious beliefs. Since both emotions and intellect serve a similar epistemic purpose, there has been a matter of more interest to theologians and philosophers on how the two are linked and how the rational agent carries claims by either source. Islam is a dominant religion in the world, where there are up surging sums of the Muslims in the west, especially in North America, where the population of the Muslims is high. Islam is a religion of both the intellect and of the emotions. Islam began as a religion of the intellect. An inquiry into the intellectual beliefs of the Muslims can show that many Muslims in the past were influenced by the literature of many early scholars who had a more significant contribution in the realm of social and natural sciences. What makes the contributions of the scholars is special is because they are grounded on the philosophy of Islam and the idea of…

Relation between King’s Ethical Argument and Socrates’ Dialogue In 1963, King brought to Birmingham, his non-violent resistance campaign to segregation (King 256). At that time, Birmingham was among the places in the South with the highest rate of segregation. It had earned the gross label ‘Bombingham’ after a long time of unsolved attacks on churches and homes belonging to African Americans. After King’s arrest for violating a decree which forbids demonstrations, he decided to respond to the white clergy of Birmingham. Given his audience and message, King regularly sought encouragement from Biblical resources, philosophers as well as theologian Christians such as Aquinas, Jewish, Augustine, and Niehbur. In three instances in the Birmingham letter. King invokes Socrates for his brand of activist philosophy along with his just practice regarding civil disobedience. Euthyphro differs from King’s view in that Socrates justifies his perception using division among groups and establishing the aspect of otherness, as opposed to the approaches provided by King. King’s response to his injustice was founded on nonviolent public disobedience. Correspondingly, King portrays the perspective on the universal, which encourages…

The Yukaghirs Introduction The world is made up of people who have different cultures that guide their behaviors, norms, values, and beliefs. Cultures distinguish the way of life and beliefs among people, and thus what one community belief may not necessarily be the same when compared with another community. Therefore there is a need to embrace differences that exist among people to create unity (Fischer et al., 2014). The Yukaghirs are one of the communities that have different beliefs and norms that guides their way of living. For instance, the Yukaghirs believes that personhood is not the manifestation of humankind; instead, the human is only one of many outward forms of persons (Willerslev, 2007). According to this community is humanity is just a condition and persons include “natural” creatures, and the “supernatural” beings (Willerslev, 2007). Yukaghir`s belief differs from other communities, which believes that personhood is manifested through humankind, and persons only refer to the natural persons in the exclusion of supernatural beings. The core purpose of this essay is to give a justification as to whether the creatures the…

How I would use ethical considerations in decision making and solving conflicts Philosophers may argue about the ethical duty of a Sergeant Major to soldiers; others may suggest that the primary purpose for existence of the military is to engage in war when needed by national defense policy and win. Every military has organizational goals and their primary focus. Some of the rues may be preventing discrimination in the military workplace, which will be done by embracing employees to employer relationships. Organizations moral duties should extend beyond serving the interest of their employees. Employees’ interest should be looked at to avoid conflicts in the workplace. Ethics in an organization should ensure that trust exists between the employees in various organizational departments. For instance, a project manager should give every employee a voice when making big decisions Conflicts of employees in an organization may happen when employees are treated less well than others in the workplace because of age, race, and religion, or sexual orientation. The organization has the mandate to stop this kind of vice in the workplace, but creating…

The Argument of Imperfection Argument The argument of imperfection (74-76) by Plato provides explanations of possessions of knowledge by human beings and the awareness of things in our surroundings. Plato bases his concept based on faultiness of practical matters and the ability of a human to make conclusions about the objects. The argument (Pheodo 74-76) reveals the idea of equality. Among the essential ideas in the philosophy developed by Plato is the purpose of forms (Mohr, 1984). The concept suggests that the importance of materials cannot be found in materials but their eternal, intelligible, and constant forms. The forms may have significant metaphysical implications; however, they can possess the epistemological nature as well. Forms are not only the things that are real, but also they can be genuinely understood (Beer, 2018)—for example, witnessing a troop of the army led by a general in battle while facing vast artillery in action. An individual may conclude the event as courageous. The event may also be described as an act of courage. However, one may not term the event itself as courage. The…

Approaching Strangers. Approaching people you don’t know can, at times, be too difficult. As philosophers put it, that the way you say things is more important than what you say. This is the guide to approaching strangers. In a bid to effectively approach a stranger and hold a meaningful conversation that would be termed as successful, one must approach the person from the front with a firm handshake. Establish eye contact is another powerful tool that should be employed. Lastly, the conversation should be a little casual to create a conducive environment for the person you are talking to, to be able to relay the required information openly. Reflection on my experience, I once had the task of talking to a high profile CEO, Mr. Tony Jay. Visiting his office, I knocked and was let in by the secretary. I later requested to speak to the CEO, Mr. Jay, and I was asked to get into his office. To start, I said good morning while firmly gripping his hand, he replied, and there the conversation kicked off. Maintaining a stun…

Hemodialysis Hemodialysis is a method of treatment that involves the removal of chemical wastes and water from the blood of a patient with a kidney malfunction through filtration. A dialysis machine is used together with a dialyzer to help in cleaning the blood of a patient. Hemodialysis is an essential health care need that aids the treatment of advanced kidney failure and enables patients to lead active and healthy lives despite kidney failure. The process is crucial in controlling blood pressure and maintaining the balance of essential minerals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. Based on its excellent and reliable results, hemodialysis is the best renal replacement therapy for patients that require therapy maintenance and those in need of dialysis. Similar to other major medication solutions, hemodialysis encompasses a broad spectrum of different topics and theories. This paper aims to elaborate on these topics and the essence of their relationships to hemodialysis treatment. The topics that will be discussed include Paradigm, Ontology, Epistemology, Symbolic interaction, Classical Grounded Theory, Straussian Grounded theory, and the Constructivist Theory. Paradigm A scientific paradigm refers…

Scientific Method of research                 When conducting research projects, scientists utilize different scientific methods to collect measurable empirical data in a trial related to the hypothesis often in the form of a statement with the results aiming to support or contradict a theory. The paper below explains how scientific methods operate and further discusses approaches utilized by philosophers and relates it to scientific methods. Though several ways nd exists for the scientific method to be accomplished, there is a continuous process that begins with observation or observations. The process begins by asking questions regarding observations made while gathering information. A hypothesis is formed from the information and predictions made from the hypothesis. The hypothesis and predictions are tested in a trial that can easily be reproduced. Data is analyzed, and conclusions made. At this stage, the hypothesis is either accepted, rejected or modified. Reproduction is done until there are no inconsistencies between observation made, and the conclusion reached. Once a hypothesis gets support, a theory is developed. Philosophers follow different possible research approaches in their pursuit of knowledge. However, three…

Socrates’ Euthyphro Socrates remains to be one of the most respected postmodern Greek philosophers who valued for their contribution to classical moral philosophies and western school of thought. As a philosopher, he championed social and moralistic values and criticized the philosophies of the Athenians. In an encounter with Euthyphro, Socrates is inspired by his willingness to prosecute his father for a crime of murder. Socrates in o his way to his trial charges against the city of Athens, alleged corruption of the youth, and failure to recognize and respect their gods, which was punishable by death. In the discussion, Euthyphro uses the word piety do describe those who oppose his decision. Socrates is interested in his teachings and instruction; thus, flatteringly urges Euthyphro to teach him religious matters. One of the prominent issues in the dialogue is the definition of holiness and piety. Euthyphro refers to the prosecution of religious offenders as part of the devotion of which Socrates is not amused. He asserts his decision to be a pious act to Zeus contrast to the impious anger and expectation…

 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…
