It can be argued that MIDREGs promotes moral behavior, but it is also easy to offer a rebuttal saying that it demoralizes midshipmen. I believe that it falls somewhere in the middle. In the beginning, MIDREGs can promote moral behavior by giving an outline of what is right and what behaviors are considered upstanding. For a plebe especially, reading MIDREGs allows us to understand how to behave. Many of us come from being civilians and would not know exactly the standards we are now to uphold without them being explicitly stated in MIDREGs; however, past the initial reading, I think it starts to make people think “How much can I do without getting in trouble?” There are, of course, some rules and guidelines in MIDREGs that are rules that
The moral of Lanval could be a theme of virtues consisting of loyalty and justice, but it could also be seen as a test of Lanval's loyalty to Queen Semiramis. It is likely that Lanval would have been found innocent since the attendants who arrived before Queen Semiramis were indeed superior in beauty to Queen Guinevere. Lanval, however, would rather die than betray his beloved in this way, which might be what leads her to save him. One could say that the moral of this story is loyalty and justice will always prevail over betrayal and prejudice.
Soliders carry very few standards in today's day and age, when the order is given you follow and act, the circumstance of immoral orders is understandable but a solider should still meet his or hers given instruction. The keys to a solider system is the policy letters and army regulations that dictate every given bit of information on army and its moral history. Within each article and sub articles the information is pertinent to the success of soldier and shares the history as well, this can provide lessons to those who instruct other soliders in
To begin with, conventional morality moves toward the expectation of the society, like doing what the society expects them to do. For example, restaurants and companies should hire people with different skin colour, of different age etc. to create a diversified community. Super-Link can apply this by having discounts clearly listed and promise not to overcharge or unrealistic price. The second point is that it concerns over legality and the opinion of others. It sticks to the rule and sees if it is a legal thing to do. For example, the company cares about their employees and give them enough day offs a week or more money if they worked hard. Super-Link should check if the terms and conditions were clearly listed in the website to avoid confusion
There are many theories that can be applied to different cases that have occurs in Americas history. The two theories that are choses for this paper are the trait theory and under the trait theory is psychological which is “abnormal personality and psychological traits are the key to determinant of anti-social behavior. There is a link between mental illness, personality disorders and crime (Siegel, 2014). The second theory is the Choice theory which “criminals weigh the cost and benefits and make a conscious, rational choice to commit crime” (Siegel, 2014). This paper will show how a theory can be applied to a person and a crime. Some of the cases that are being presented some will not agree but up us all about the person perspective.
Behaviorism is one of the many schools of psychology and it has one main overall focus. The main overall focus is it studies how a human behaves and is supposed to behave in order to detect human behavior discrepancies. As a behaviorist view, everything you see has a set behavior and should perform a certain, similar to robots. Watson stated that “psychology as a behaviorist views it is a purely objective experimental branch of natural science. Its theoretical goal is … prediction and control” (1913, p.158).
In the nonfiction novel Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, morality is a prominent theme of the tragedy. This novel tells of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster from the first person perspective of Krakauer, a surviving climber. Especially on the mountain, morality is often posed as a question of life or death. For example, in chapter 17, Krakauer writes, “.....he turned to see Harris - who must have been seriously debilitated, if his condition when I’d seen him on the South Summit two hours earlier was any indication - plodding slowly up the summit ridge to assist Hall and Hansen”. This line explains the death of Andy Harris, a character who sacrifices himself in a futile attempt to bring oxygen to his team’s head guide, Hall, and to another climber,
The United States must maintain the highest standard of morals during intelligence missions. There are many ways that information from intelligence missions can be compromised, and far to many ways that the members of the mission teams can be exploited. Due to the risk of allowing one’s self or the mission to be compromised, a high moral professional and personal standard should be ever present when accomplishing intelligence missions.
What is the Difference between a first-order moral view and a second-order moral view? Give two examples of each. Is Mackie’s moral subjectivism a first-order view or a second-order view?
“Can Machines Learn Morality,” “morality” is defined as a person's standards of what is right and wrong. Drones are better at processing wartime morality than human soldiers because they have no other motive for their actions such as fear or trauma. However, they are also worse because they would have to interpret and execute actions that follow the rules of war and also split-second decisions that may have large impacts. Due to this, it is not possible for machines to learn wartime morality.
The second characteristic of professionalism is responsibility. General responsibility creates the moral responsibility of marines and helps us understand the set of values which guide us. In addition, however, marines must also possess the values of other human beings and question service to a society which does not respect these values. These values include justice, common courtesy, human dignity and humbleness. A government which does not respect these values is illegitimate and cannot be said to serve the society it directs. In the case of United States marines, the values of the United States must be examined in the context of the military profession. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution provide clear statements of these values and Ethics. Ethics are standards by which one should act based on values. Values are core beliefs such as honor, courage, and commitment that motivate attitudes and actions. Not all values...
From the day we have the capability of speaking we are taught what is right from what is wrong; why is it that once we grow older that we are tempted to make decisions that hurt others? When people are children they are not exposed to the same things that they are when they become educated adults. By nature people genuinely want to be good, but because of the effects of society they are lead to the path of evil.
The moral neutralisation theory was originally developed by Dr Gresham Sykes and his student Dr David matza in 1957 as an expansion of Sutherland’s theory regarding differential association theory in 1947. The idea behind the theory of neutralisation by matza and Sykes was to explain and create a wider understanding of juvenile delinquency. The theory of Moral neutralisation was studied to illustrate neutralisation techniques used by individuals who refuse to conform to social order and chose to participate in crimes, to neutralise the guilt of their acts. Offenders generally tend to neutralise certain values within themselves. This is done so that not abiding the law does not affect their inner self negatively, in order to preserve the good
My moral intuitions came from outside influences. These outside influences are family members, church, school and friends. My outside influences help me function my daily life. Clearly, my moral intuitions cannot be wrong or harmful. My family members influence my moral intuitions, and they taught me what I know. I was taught by them religion, moral beliefs, and virtues. In life, they explained to me, we have bad and good people. Obviously, to me a bad person is someone who has done wrong doing to their neighbor, did not treat others the way they wanted to be treated, and they lied, cheated, and stolen before, and a “good” person and “bad” person are opposites. A good person is honest, trustworthy, treat others the way they wanted to be tread,
152. Behavior is anything animals or humans do that can be directly observed, such as a person picking
I agree with your analysis on how the scenario should have been approached. It is very clear that the supervisor was rude and inappropriate. This conversation should have occurred in a private area and one-on-one. Respect for staff and active listening are better ways to help this employee. I like how your team implemented positive behavior into a negative situation. I believe implementing positivity into the unit can help find more solutions to problems. Negativity tends to just create more hostility and problems. I found caring for my self as an important skill I need to implement as leader. It is important for a good leader to recognize that their own needs are greater. Roll, Stark, Hoekstra, Hazel, and Barton (2012) found in their research
