Ethical relativism highlights the idea that every situation may not have the same solution for all people. In Ethics Theory and Contemporary Issues, the authors explain “Relative means that our judgments about ethics are relative to (or dependent on) something else.” In other words, one’s ethics are dependent on the person’s culture, religion, beliefs, and many other factors that make up the life they live. There is not one form of ethics but many, which makes ethical discussions difficult when...

Everyone all wants to believe that we exist innocently without...

Upon reading The Republic, I am convinced that such a society cannot be ideal. Plato seems to contradict himself by proposing a society based on the “noble lie” because he himself elevates truth and convinces his rulers to abide by the...

Although time and culture evolve, human nature does not, which is why humans often still read and connect with pieces written at different points in history. Literature that has no personal relevance to our lives, is only interesting as a historical fragment. Over the last three weeks, we have studied realism,...

Both North and South (1854-55) and A Dolls House (1879) present women as systemically restricted by an 1800’s patriarchal society, which elicits a response of sympathetic relatability within a typical female Victorian reader. Both of these novels are defined by the controversy of binary conflicts, which, if left unresolved, tear apart Gaskell’s Nora and Torvald, but consequently draw Ibsen’s Margaret Hale and John Thornton closer together. Both Gaskell and Ibsen explore the idea of equality within relationships, and whether it...

Powerful individuals who commit evil acts do not regard their actions or themselves as evil. Evil should be employed to qualify acts of persons rather than their character. This distinct change would allow individuals to abstain from the foundational interpretation of evil and, hence, analyse the evil acts in their contexts and effectively distinguish their inherent characteristics and motivation. ‘The Prince’ by Niccolò Machiavelli promotes the incentive of evil only when deemed necessary for the state’s preservation and glorification. This...
