  • Mary Anne Warren's Belief on Abortion

    930 Words  | 2 Pages

    The criterion for personhood is widely accepted to consist of consciousness (ability to feel pain), reasoning, self-motivation, communication and self-awareness. When Mary Anne Warren states her ideas on this topic she says that it is not imperative that a person meet all of these requirements, the first two would be sufficient. We can be led to believe then that not all human beings will be considered persons. When we apply this criterion to the human beings around us, it’s obvious that most of us are part of the moral community. Although when this criterion is applied to fetuses, they are merely genetic human beings. Fetuses, because they are genetically human, are not included in the moral community and therefore it is not necessary to treat them as if they have moral rights. (Disputed Moral Issues, p.187). This idea is true because being in the moral community goes hand in hand w...

    The argument of when a fetus really becomes a child is something that has been researched for years. Some believe it is as soon as a woman is pregnant that the child is a living organism and is considered a child, others believe it isn’t a child until it has a beating heart. It is said by some medical professionals that a fetus is a child when it is treated separately from the mother. When the doctor is doing something solely for the child then it is an “unborn child” [McCullough et al, 2013].

  • Psychological Concepts in the Film Gran Torino

    1203 Words  | 3 Pages

    Clint Eastwood’s film “Gran Torino” traces the end of the life of Walt Kowalski. He has recently gone through a lot – the death of his beloved wife, his distant relationship with his son, his emotional scars from the Korean War and his bad health. All these things stop him from living a proper life. He doesn’t care about himself much – he smokes even though he is sick, he doesn’t eat a lot, he refuses to confess even though that was his wife’s last wish. However, all this changes when he meets the Hmong Family that lives next door. At the beginning he detests them because of their similarity to the Koreans, but later, as he gets to know them, they become the family that he was never able to have. The story traces the psychological changes in Walt’s character due to his unusual bond with the Hmong family, which changes are one of the main strengths of the film.

    'Twilight Samurai" is situated in Japan throughout the time of the Meiji Restoration, circa 1868 - the same period as Kurosawa's incredible "The Seven Samurai" and Edward Zwick's exquisite "The Last Samurai." The three movies bargain in distinctive routes with a period when samurai still attempted to live by the Code of Bushido, even as they confronted destitution or unemployment in an evolving pop culture. "The Last Samurai" is about samurai contradicting the head's moves to modernize Japan; unexpectedly, we discover that the saint of "Sundown Samurai" battled and kicked the bucket in that insubordination - after the story of this film is over.
