Elie Wiesel was one of the survivor and he do not want people to forget the sacrifice rescuers did to save people life in the Holocaust. He wants us to appreciate that those people could’ve choose to not help, but they did a correct moral choice. Humanity is the ability to love and have compassion, be creative, and not be a robot or alien. The human nature is kindness, as humans we suppose to help each other but not everyone does. That’s why Elie Wiesel says we have to give importance to the rescuers. Humanity also means the kinds of feelings human have to each other and those feelings are the ones that encourage us to do good things for others. A person that has influenced me my thinking about ethical decision making is Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa was born in 1910 in the …show more content…
Mother Teresa struggle to her permission to get out of convent, but she didn’t stop trying to get her permission because she wanted to do what was ethical correct. Teresa wanted to help the poor and dying, she wanted to help the people in need. She teach the kids from the streets how to read, they were poor they had no teacher or school. Mother Teresa did the right ethical decision help the people that needs help, in convent the girls didn’t need help. Mother Teresa inspire to do good ethical decision and to put the people that needs helps as priority. An ethical decision is one that engenders trust, and it’s indicative of responsibility, fairness and caring. Making an ethical decision consists of reviewing among different options, eliminating those with an unethical standpoint, and finally choosing the best ethical alternative.

Also by not being selfish because there’s people that need a lot of help. It also show me how some people dedicate their life to helping, that means i should help
We have one resident in the long-term facility who has stage four cancer of spinal cord and he has been suffering from intense pain. Every time when I enter his room, he cries and implore to the god that he can minimize his suffering. He has prescription of hydromorphone 8 mg every 4 hourly PRN , oxycodone 5 mg every 6 hourly and 50 mcg of fentanyl path change every 3rd day. After giving all scheduled and PRN medicine his pain level remains same as before. When I see that patients I feel like to give highest dose of medicine as well as alternative pain management therapy so that he can have some comfort but ethically I have no right to do that. He is hospice but he has no comfort at all. Following are the nine steps of Uustal ethical decision making model.
There are many heroic individuals in history that have shown greatness during a time of suffering ,as well as remorse when greatness is needed, but one individual stood out to me above them all. He served as a hero among all he knew and all who knew him. This individual, Simon Wiesenthal, deserves praise for his dedication to his heroic work tracking and prosecuting Nazi war criminals that caused thousands of Jews, Gypsies, Poles and other victims of the Holocaust to suffer and perish.
First, Elie Weisel is talking about compassion because not many people have shown him compassion. During the Holocaust, Elie was treated with the same respect as thousands of other Jewish people. Elie was shown no amount of compassion or respect for a few years of his life. Clearly, since Elie said that he would never be visiting the abandoned
“The Perils of Indifference” In April, 1945, Elie Wiesel was liberated from the Buchenwald concentration camp after struggling with hunger, beatings, losing his entire family, and narrowly escaping death himself. He at first remained silent about his experiences, because it was too hard to relive them. However, eventually he spoke up, knowing it was his duty not to let the world forget the tragedies resulting from their silence. He wrote Night, a memoir of his and his family’s experience, and began using his freedom to spread the word about what had happened and hopefully prevent it from happening again.
Abortion has been a political, social, and personal topic for many years now. The woman’s right to choose has become a law that is still debated, argued and fought over, even though it has been passed. This paper will examine a specific example where abortion is encouraged, identify the Christian world views beliefs and resolution as well as the consequences of such, and compare them with another option.
To begin, Mother Teresa stands as a strong activist from India, who deserves recognition for her tremendous actions. Mother Teresa, founder of a religious group of nuns in Calcutta, India, devoted her life to aiding sick and poor people throughout the world. I see Mother Teresa as an important figure to depict, since she dedicated her life to helping other and even inspired others to do the same. Born in war-torn Albania, Mother Teresa survived her childhood and at 19 joined the Sisters of Loreto in India. She served with missionary order of nuns for 20 years, until she had a realization of her life’s mission. She found that she needed to help the poor and sick. So, Mother Teresa descended into the slums of Calcutta and began the Sisters of Charity. From there, she led the Sisters of Charity in ministering to the sick and hungry by giving them much needed food and live. Mother Teresa received local reconviction; but in 1969, after a documentary on her work, she became a celebrity and was deemed a modern day saint. Mother Teresa used this to increase awareness of her work, thus benefiting the poor and sick further. She gave speeches all over the world emphasizing the struggle of the poor. Before her death, Mother Teresa had met a large number of world l...
Do you ever look back and regret a decision you have made? Although reflecting on past decisions can be healthy and teaches you about yourself for the future, it can also cause you to feel an overwhelming sense of grief and regret. Knowing that your life could be different but it is the way it is because of something you decided is terrifying for almost anyone. However, you do not really know when you are making these choices that are pivotal points. In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, the main character Eliezer found himself making huge life choices without even realizing it. Only looking back can one identify the exact moments when opportunities were missed. Whether you refer to them as coincidences or missed chances, they are still critical
Still, major concern with boundary crossing in treatment is the potential, differential between therapists, and clients and how therapists may use or abuse the power. Therapist are hired for their professional expertise, which consequently gives them an expert- based power over their clients (Zur, 2007, p. 47). Husted could have asked herself should I cross this boundary (i.e., is it ethical to keep a “secret” of into a relationship with a client) or what are the opportunities plus advantages of carrying out rather not carrying out the sexual performance (risk of either accepting or rejecting of the client).
Everyday individuals are faced with difficult situations, and in some cases these situations bring into question a person’s moral code. These dilemmas make people think about what the right thing to do is and what the wrong thing to do is. Any person can follow the four basic frameworks of ethics to figure out what needs to be done. Those frameworks being ethical egoism, utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. But first I will put you in a tricky situation and shed some light on the different routes an individual could take according to those four ethical frameworks. Then I will give my opinion on what I would do in the situation and I will state some objections a critic might have on my opinion.
”Lie down on it! On your belly! I obeyed. I no longer felt anything except the lashes of the whip. One! Two! He took time between the lashes. Ten eleven! Twenty-three. Twenty four, twenty five! It was over. I had not realized it, but I fainted” (Wiesel 58). It was hard to imagine that a human being just like Elie Wiesel would be treating others so cruelly. There are many acts that Elie has been through with his father and his fellow inmates. Experiencing inhumanity can affect others in a variety of ways. When faced with extreme inhumanity, The people responded by becoming incredulous, losing their faith, and becoming inhumane themselves.
Many people may think that a being a paralegal is just like being a lawyer, but that is not the case. In fact, there are different types of paralegals just like there are different types of lawyers. These are some of the different types of paralegals that are out there: intellectual property (“IP”) paralegals, family law paralegals, and bankruptcy paralegals (“What Are The Different Types Of Paralegals?” n.d.). According to, “What Do Paralegals Do? (n.d.),” the duties of a paralegal are, “Conduct client interviews and maintain general contact with the client, locate and interview witnesses, conduct investigations, statistical and documentary research, conduct legal research, draft legal documents, correspondence and pleadings, summarize depositions, interrogatories and testimony, attend executions of wills, real
Some of the deficiencies in the way cultural relativism addresses moral problems, according to Holmes; are that they remain impractical, they are subject to change depending on where you live, and that people tolerate the different cultures. As a professional business person, I agree with Holmes analysis. Allowing others perceptions or beliefs to get away with our own personal beliefs would be contradicting ourselves. It is important to stand up for our beliefs, and help educate others on ethical issues. Over time we can make a difference in the world by modeling moral beliefs and ethics.
Throughout the 20th century, certain individuals have left a profound impact on the lives of countless people. One such person was Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa, born Agnes Bojaxhiu had many different influences that led to her establishing the missionaries of charity which directed her into becoming the speaker for the poor around the world. Because of the aforementioned facts and many others, Mother Teresa stands as one of the greatest humanitarians of the 20th century because of her unwavering commitment to aiding those in need, which makes her an ideal example of a hero according to the quote by Robert F. Kennedy “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.
My paper will show the ethical value in making a decision, right or wrong, that the ultimate result is, I’ll say money. This paper illustrates my opinion in why Harry Stonecipher should have been forced to resign, to save the company name so to say. I’ll talk about the utilitarian and deontological considerations for both parties involved and explain why this decision must have been hard to make.
Mother Teresa once said, “At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in” (Mother Teresa). The author of this quote was a nun who joined the Society of the Missionaries of Charities in Calcutta to benefit the poor in India (Mayor 1). Throughout her lifetime, Mother Teresa held religious creeds that reflected in her thoughts and acts. In the quote, she addresses a concern for humanitarian acts in a list that includes feeding, sheltering and clothing others. Certainly, Mother Teresa’s quote regarding service is true; thus, evidence consists on accurate descriptions of a situation society faces, genuine charity and the correlations this quote can share with non-profit organizations in actuality.
