For that season, I would nourish become a tail thief in order for my children and myself to live an easier life. In addition, having unlimited money, could tolerate been to a greater ex xt active in my kids life by non having to die problematical two jobs that made me so tired. Miserably, when I did see them I close up was barely there, and we were unders overlyd broke. As a result, sometimes did non compensate mother to put my kids to bed, or wake them up in the morning, as I was either al containy gone to work or non home provided. Nevertheless, with the super source of the c both up I could restrain abandoned them every social function they needed or sine qua noned (within reason).For instance, I could eve afforded to buy both(prenominal) my childrens school pictures, along with, non having to express no to things such as, handle trips, birthday parties, or even new shoes. This analogy is an example of psychological egocentrism be origin of my inspiration o f self-regard (Mackinac, 2012). What I mean is our life was hard solely we would surrender made it without the ring unless my maternal idea would have wanted a better life for my kids and myself. Consider that the normative theory, ethics of share, comes into play in this situation beca wont it was my duty to provide us with a better life.However, if had the same opportunity today, loud not shrink the ring. Now know it is against my personal ethics of what is right and what is abuse collect to my firm beliefs of my religion. Or do you not know that the below the belt ordain not inherit the estate of perfection? Do not be deceived neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers leave inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were fairified in the name of the master underlying Jesus Christ a nd by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 9-11, n.

As Kant believes, a key buck is the expansion of positive predispositions to act in a situation military mansner will em king us to ensure a legality without difficulty (Mackinac, 2012). In this way, the rules commanded to us in the book of account are the laws ought to put my life by because they are grievous. Plain and simple. For this reason, there is no guess that I would expect the ring, as I would be in cultism of it leading me to do things I normally would not do.Moreover, I do not want to eel the shame associated with, not being just. As a final point, in the video, moral philosophy Ill 3 vibrancy of Edges, it is give tongue to that Glaucoma clams that no one is just willingly. He as well believes doing malign is naturally good and will ultimately make you happy. Accordingly, he with al accepts as truth that a person is also doing their self an hurt if they are against doing wrong because nothing good will come of being fair. As well as for Socrates, I disagree with Glaucoma, and do deposit that acting just is good. 1 Corinthians 69-11. (n. D. ). Know ye not that the unrighteous shallRetrieved from http//view.

In reading The Ring of Edges by Plato, Edges was a very unjust person and I hope that by me being a just person that all that power would not turn me unjust and cut down all my morals and virtues out the window. Chri terminateher French Email Author heritable Discussion Week 2 Thread 1 think most people would honestly say that they would be compelled to use the ring.From a womens liberationist circumspection ethic perspective (Mackinac, 201 2), would attempt to use the ring for good. I would want to use it to protect the innocent and those who cannot protect themselves. I would tincture had a responsibility to protect society from evil. I would also sprout the responsibility of ensuring the ring does not fall into the wrong hands. I would like to say that would be prudent to resist the temptation to use the ring for the wrong reasons. It is human nature for us to be tempted and to make the wrong choices. Could have good intentions, yet make all the wrong decisions.When we stop and think or so from a legalistic point of view, even robin redbreast Hood, who take from the rich to give to the poor, had a moral dilemma. eventiden though Robin Hood had good intentions and gave the money he stole to the poor, he was still thieving and that is morally wrong (Mackinac, 2012). loud like to think I am a virtuous person, but I am only if human and human are not without sin. We can look up the power and temptation of the ring to Adam and Eve and their fall into sin. Adam and Eve were virtuous and without sin. Then they were tempted by the knowledge of good and evil.They knew that the knowledge was forbidden, yet they fell into temptation whateverways. I am sure they had good intentions, but with that knowledge and power comes responsibility and consequences (Mackinac, 2012 Genesis 31-814 (King pack Version)). References Mackinac, B. (2012). Ethics Theory and contemporary issues (Concise 2nd d. deed. ). Boston, MA Coinage Learning. Hi Christopher. Nice Post. I certainly appreciated your correlation of the ring in the last paragraph. It is a pity that the devil tempted Adam and Eve. If they had not, we could have been ever free of sin and forever and a day joyful.Indeed, the world is paying for their consequences. However, we know the gunstock of Jesus Christ is a filter that can enable us to live someday in the presence of our Almighty Lord, along with only peace, love and happiness. In your eldest paragraph, you compare your morality to that of feminine care ethics. I too feel that it is important and my duty, to defend the innocent and feeble. regard it is admirable that you wrote from this viewpoint. As we read in our book, the psychologist Carol Gilligan led discussions that showed that both men and women depict their ethical views differently.It also defined that no man in the study focused on the dilemma of fondness. This caring school of thought considers the virtues of compassion and kindness in the context of personal relatedness and how their affiliation will be inc breezed to a special action. (Mackinac, 2012). On the other hand, this go over also showed not all women followed this morality. In this interview, think if participated I would have been one of these women. Although I agree with these some of these caring principles, tend to think more in term of universal ethics, as do men. In this way, men are more inclined to talk in terms of fairness and justice and rights. (p 68) Also, I sense that if all nations were charted by deaf(p) laws that put all people on equal grounds, we could live in a more productive and serene society. (Mackinac, 2012). My question to you is, do you in the main associate yourself with the understandings of caring ethics or do you also relate to other principles like me? deed. deed. ). Boston, MA Coinage Learning I would have to say that I primarily associate myself with the caring ethic. Since childhood, have always care about and for others. During high school, was involved in several affectionate justice projects.I also spent several hours a week babysitting, which is not that common for males to do. After high school, decided enjoyed working(a) with children. Began studying earliest childhood education. Also took additional course work in human development. I am currently a child development major(ip) here a t Walden University with a concentration in psychology. I send off on doing graduate work in either school psychology or school counseling and eventually work with elementary and shopping affectionateness school children. I am currently training to be a first responder (Emergency Medical Responder) and am also planning on getting C.E. R. T. Certified as well (Citizen Emergency Response Team). still though I am currently not a teacher in a public school system, I love working with children and teaching them. Yesterday, drove about 30 miles to a friends house to croak the afternoon and evening with their children teaching them science. I have also worked with a few home school families teaching various subjects to children grades K-8. I worked in a child care center caring for children from infancy by means of school age. Unfortunately, I found it to be a very opponent environment to work in. As the only male teacher amongst about 50 women. The executive director did not think men had any business working with children. From the first day I worked in that center the executive director did everything in her power to get rid of me. in the end about two years later, the board members of the center voted to fire me plainly because they got tired of listening to the executive director complain about me. Christopher, you make unnecessary very well My mother was an MET in the early asss. N fact, she became the first paid women paramedic in Prince William County Virginia, a suburb of Washington DC.Then she worked as a paid paramedic in the District of Columbia, where she was retired because she broke her top on the job. Remember how much she loved her job, helping people, it hurt her to have to stop working. Good luck with your training Also, commend your love of children, too bad there are not more people like you having so much interest in wanting to nurture our children. What an rise you are. Alt sounds like those people who brought you done, lost a good thing Joana Wilkins Email Author I grew up taught to be respectful, not to lie, or steal.Like legion(predicate) of you this is how we were taught by our parents or by the person(s) who was in our lives as we grew up. This is our ethical egoism, what we ought to do, how we ought to act (Mackinac, 201 3, p. 25). I grew up also looking up to my Mom. She went bottom to school as an adult with kids. She became a nurse, someone who helps another person during an illness/sickness. She always put others a head of her. I esteem this and want to be this. As a nurse I do put others in front of me. I love to help and better others. I work in emergency medicine for his reason. The front line of the hospital.I love to get the sickest people in and to be able to becalm them and get them to the floor feeling better and on the right roadway to healing. As a Catholic, I do believe in Karma. What goes around, comes around. So with that being give tongue to, would not use the ring. I dont think could knowing this. I would love to be able to be debt free, know what others know, but what is all that worth? Is it worth having the knowledge you did wrong? You may think it is k because you can get away with it, but it is not. To steal, lie to get what you want is never k. I know there are people UT there that do this but do they have the respect they be?I dont think so. The question regarding can you use the ring for good? I don t think that you can use it as a Robin Hood type story. You are still stealing and possibly lying to get things for others. If you could imagine any one obtaining this power of becoming invisible, and never doing any wrong or touching what was anothers, he would be thought by the lookers-on to be a most suffering idiot, although they would praise him to one anothers faces, and keep up appearances with one another from a fear that they too might suffer injustice (Plato, n. ).

The republic, 2012), it presented the idea of using a magical ring to become invisible. If I were given something like this to do something without being caught I would honestly say I would not steal or do anything mean or crazy.In fact I probably would be that person to do sensitive things without anyone knowing. I am no one who likes to be in the turn light and like people to know what I have I done. I believe my reciprocates come from someone much higher and thats the reward I want not someone knowing that something was done for them so they can keep talking about it. There are umteen times in life where I may have had a situation to do something bad or not get caught doing it but I didnt choose those paths, they would lead to nothing but darkness.There are many celebrities who have done crazy things and must have thought they would get away with it or even et wrote off just because they were a famous person but they were caught and brought to justice like anyone else. Dear Kimberly and ALL Care Ethics and gender differences in ethical perspectives Kimberly This is a powerful personal deposition of spiritual growth. It reminded me of an enthralling book by V. Hog, Less Miserable. Perhaps you read it or watched the Hollywood musical with the same title. It was released in 2012.Its heroic and distinguished protagonist, Jean Vallejo, became a prisoner after stealing a waylay of bread to help his family. This act cost him not only the bolshie of reputation, but also moral and physical sufferings. On one occasion, he stole again from a priest who gave him shelter. The priest, knowing the real cause of his crime, testified on Jean Baleens behalf. This act of kind ness became a turning point in Jean Baleens story, leading him on the path of a august life. Do you think that the distaff and male ethical perspectives on The Ring of Edges will be standardised?Would Care Ethics, on the contrary, advocate their monumental differences? Hi Dry. Workman, Funny you asked this question. I did a little survey on Tuesday of men and women, from church and my neighbors. I told them of the story of The Ring of Edges then I asked if they assessed the ring would they steal money, and if they did, what would they do with it. There was a total of ten people, six women and four men. Firstly, three of the six women agreed that they would not take the ring to steal, but would take it and do good deeds similar to helping others in need, without anyone knowing.Suitably, these women showed characteristics of care. Similarly, one woman said she would have no problem stealing because no one would know, and her family could use the money. Aptly, this dilemma shows he r caring morals. Also, two of the women whom I talked to at Church aid if they acquired the ring, they would destroy it because they ought to not let the ring tempt them to steal because it is wrong. Showing, they had deontological morals as the Bible tells them stealing is bad. Now for the men.One out of the four men said they would not do it for the same reason as the three women. Then, two said they would take the ring and steal as much as they could for themselves, and use it live it up with their friends. They pretty much said to hell with everyone else, as they would not know, selfishly showing signs of self-egoism. Next, One man said he would use the money to aka care of his ailing mother, and then take care of others, such as the Church and other family members. This premise shows his caring morals.So to final result your first question, I am predicting yes they could have comparable perceptions, depending on that persons particular reasoning or aspects of human character, rather than assumed male or female qualities. (Mackinac, 2012). To answer your second question, if the norms were the same as say 50 years or more ago would say that yes Care Ethics would show significant differences between male and female. Appropriately, it is said that elatedness is the framework that forms female decisions. Mainly due to the fact they were nurtured and sheltered closely by their mother.
