Ethics And The Clergy
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. Perhaps the most critical of all issues associated with the breach of any moral code is that of trust. When, for example, the pastoral post is occupied by one who asserts his vow of ethics and morality, it is expected that this pledge will be continually upheld throughout the entire term. If the congregation comes to learn that its religious leader has entered into unethical behavior, do they have reason to question his overall allegiance to the clergy? The answer is an unequivocal yes, for there is no separation between his private loyalty and his public loyalty; in the eyes of the public, any private betrayal equates to a collective deception. The writer discusses ethics as it relates to the clergy. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Euthanasia: Should doctors intervene at the end of life?
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) The most recent world issue (4/10/01) concerning this most sensitive subject is from April 10 of this year (2001), when The Hague in the Netherlands voted to legalize euthanasia.

Hobbes, Aquinas And Plato: The Role Of Morality In Establishing An Obligation To Obey Law
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Ever since the time when mankind required the inclusion of law as a means by which to settle disputes and create a more agreeable community, the issue of legal infiltration has been the subject of myriad dissatisfied individuals who believe that the implementation of law has been significantly more detrimental than beneficial. Others, however, contend that without the presence of law, human morality would not stand on its own as a deterrent to crime and otherwise unwanted social behavior. Thomas Hobbes, St. Thomas Aquinas and Plato postulated the issues surrounding the role of morality in establishing an obligation to obey law; from these three men, one can readily surmise that law most certainly has a place within society's civil framework.

Moral Consciousness: An Influence on Understanding of World Politics?
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page consideration of whether or moral consciousness imparts a better understanding of world politics. Contends that moral consciousness has distinct phases of development. In the early stages of this development it can be argued that it is shaped by those very factors of which we perceive it as standing in judgment. It can be argued in fact that during these early developmental phases, our understanding, and approval or disapproval, of world politics has more to do with those that are in control than it is any independent characteristic that an individual might possess. It is only when our moral consciousness has reached its full potential, therefore, that we can truly understand world politics and stand in judgment of those politics. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Nuclear Colonialism And Environmental Racism

Position Paper Concerning Sexuality and Social Policy/Sexual morality

Proper Use of Scientific Skills

Many researchers depend on grant money, much of it governmental in origin, for their research, and they have to sell that proposed research to those that ultimately will pay for conducting it.

Responsibility
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Human beings are born with inherent characteristics that set them apart from other members of the animal world; one of the most prominent of these traits is that of responsibility. In a very general sense, maintaining responsibility means to be cognizant of one's actions as they impact those within one's circle of life. This circle, however, does not end with the eye's perception; rather, the circle extends far beyond anyone's immediate vision, much like the ripples of a stream continue forth long past one's gaze. People use responsibility for myriad reasons: to further their good character; to establish reliability; and to tap into their moral being. The dimensions of responsibility are grand and far-reaching, often proving to elude those who do not put forth an honest effort to retain its presence. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Sexual Harassment Laws Favor Women
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) courses. Women wield such power in this "man's world" that with a word, a whimper, no more, they can destroy most men. The power of the female victim in American society is great. By this cause, all men have reason to fear and distrust them. Women use victim power to destroy inconvenient men. Women use blame, guilt and shame to control men. Mothers and teachers encourage men to be vulnerable to this from earliest childhood, and girls rely on the power of the pointed finger to "keep men in line." Thus, they fear shameless men because such men can't be controlled with guilt and blame. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The Philosophical Basis Of Privacy
[ send me this paper ]
16 pages in length. The Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary defines privacy as one's right to freedom from unauthorized intrusion. Clearly, this definition does not reflect contemporary society and the myriad ways in which personal information is readily collected; from medical records to workplace surveillance to personal computers, virtually no one's privacy is protected in today's world. Are people still entitled to their privacy when certain pieces of information might well impact someone else's life? Is there too much personal information ending up in the hands of those persons and agencies who can ultimately do us harm? Or is there a fine line of lost privacy that is inherent to maintaining control in a world whose population is exploding at the seams? Inasmuch as there are more than two sides to this particular controversial topic, one might readily surmise that there could not exist one rectifying solution. Bibliography lists 24 sources.
