Recommended: Issues in sexual harassment

Sam and Chellani are at the bar throwing back shots one after the other racing to see who could get a buzz first. So far they had guzzled down a whole bottle of whiskey and were now consuming vodka. Both of them hated vodka but It was the only way to break their year long tie. Sam threw up twice between the transition of alcoholic beverages, but Chellani remained unfazed. Grillby, the bartender, watched the two hardheads closely everytime they walked into the bar. If they were with friends, usually they would both drink one beer then turn to sweet tea later. When they arrived in matching t-shirts along with handfuls of cash, that meant Grillby needed to hide the whiskey. Grillby was the so called “referee” for the two and was also one of their

  • Bedford Book Of Genres Analysis

    1071 Words  | 3 Pages

    Bedford Book of Genres explains that “genres are flexible.” Through a recent post on a fellow classmate’s discussion I thought about mysteries. The ability for writers in mystery genres to guide us through their web of twists and turns makes it a genre that has something for everyone. While the theme of the genre may change or the information within the story, a mystery is basically a story, true or false, that centers itself around a mysterious or unexplained event that drives the mystery deeper and deeper. Mysteries have a way of sucking you into the story on the seat of your chair waiting to find out what twist is coming next. They know how to “resonate with readers” and connect with the story. There are several genres of mysteries available out there that can be enjoyed by many different people, with numerous likes and dislikes and in order for this genre to be able to please so many different types of fans it needs to be flexible.

  • Igor Primoratz's Categotiation Argument

    867 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the argument for abolishing or retention of the death penalty, Igor Primoratz took the Pro-retributivism stand for the retention of the death penalty. In Primoratz’s “A Life for A Life,” he argues against the abolitionists utilitarianism stand on the issue of the death penalty. Primoratz argues on the premises that- (a) “Punishment is morally Justified insofar as it is meted out as retribution for offense committed” (Primoratz 356.) (b) Death is the only proportional punishment for murder; (c) Death is the only effective deterrence measure for murder. In response to Primoratz choice to use Kant’s Retributivism argument as the basis for his pro-retention argument for the death penalty, similarly Kant’s Categorical Imperative will be used as a measuring stick to validate or refute Primoratz’s argument for the retention of the death penalty.

  • Babbitt Analysis

    1674 Words  | 4 Pages

    ...t the night before. Babbitt’s glaringly hypocritical policy on alcohol and partying reflects the common sentiment among Americans during the Prohibition. The affluent were ready to defend their choice to drink because they believed they had the right to, and that nobody else was virtuous enough to argue the same. It’s shown that morals weren’t as important as pride and reputation when it came to respecting the law. Babbitt is also unable to control himself when it comes to smoking. Babbitt condemns smokers and smoking, tries to cut his own consumption of cigarettes, and preaches the benefits of a smoke-free life; “he did everything, in fact, except stop smoking”. Babbitt’s inability to stop his habits, and his tendency to correct others of their vices before correcting his own shows the perceived morality of the middle class, despite being unable to control itself.

  • Categorical Imperative Analysis

    1426 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Categorical Imperative is a philosophical idea that has some important main ideas. The first one is that one must act as if the maxim that you are following is a universal law (if everyone else did it), secondly one must never treat a person as a way to achieve your goal. The idea of the Categorical Imperative was conceived by German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who lived from 1724 to 1804 (Rolff). Kant, famous for his other writings in metaphysics, aesthetics, and epistemology, was no amateur in the philosophical world of time, also contributing ideas to political science. In this paper, I will summarize the portion of the article in Reason and Responsibility by Joel Feinberg and Russ Shafer-Landau that carries Kant’s most important work
