Moral nihilism

aspects like appearance, ethnicity, religion, virtues, you're decisions and morals. Morality is a huge role in creating your identity because I personally think it’s the most important one. Moral’s are the key to everything, the key to good friendships, relationships, habits and more. A unmoral human compared to a moral human is a big difference, when you don't have morals everything is a ripple effect. As a person with no morals you are repeatedly practicing you're vices and you're bad…

People’s words are nothing without action to back them up. You have a solid understanding of what the moral lesson or what the teaching is from every story and it will always relate to your life, you never have to worry about reading something that may be misleading or that doesn’t apply to society. "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the…

Jodi Lynn Anderson, author of Tiger Lily wrote “To not do what you can to protect someone, that's cowardly” (Anderson 1). If an individual has the ability to protect someone that they love, then it is that individual’s duty to use that ability. No matter how small the individual or how much of an outcast the individual may be, he or she still has the ability to make sacrifices and protect those whom they care about. In “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain, Jim, although considered…

The first line of criticism is reasonable. Because we apply moral criticism to someone’s moral sentiments, on the assumption that they are capable of improvement, and that they reflect moral credit or discredit on a person . Hutcheson tries to explain some criticisms of a particular agent’s moral sense, by reference to the moral sense of the ‘normal’ observer. For Hutcheson ‘normal’ just means ‘statistically most frequent’. Though Smith objects this, he never put forward something more to…

A flawed moral code is almost guaranteed because of the limitations of ethics and ethical theories (that we have so far) which have not yet been overcome with an objective solution by philosophers and theorists. Without having full consciousness of the significance or context of our actions, could we still have moral responsibility (Edmonds)? If a person with somnambulism (sleepwalking disorder) does something unconsciously, can they be held morally responsible for it (Edmonds)? Moral…

the past theories. In this paper, it will be explain and review Ross theory of right conduct, how it differs from all the other theories, and how we can apply it. The main difference between Ross theory of right conduct and the previously viewed moral theories, such as consequentialism and utilitarianism, is that amount of pleasure is not the entire thing use to judge for what is morally right to do. The amount of pleasure is one aspect of Ross theory to decide what the right thing to do is,…

one’s appearance can have about an individual’s moral standpoint of being a good or bad person as ultimately, there is no definite answer as they coexist in each person regardless of appearance. Throughout the three pieces, I depicted one generic human figure that did not feature any human characteristics. This enabled the triptych to appeal to a diverse group of viewers. Each piece contains an element or symbolism to help identify it as one of the moral standpoints of “good” or “bad”. The…

question that is directed towards religious people and beliefs, that asks where is the source of morality? Is something moral because God commands it or does God commands something moral because it is good? I believe what is morally good is for a fact of God commands it to be so; anything may be considered moral, but we as humans don’t have the power to decide whether something is moral or not. Thus giving sovereignty and acknowledgement of his divine command which is the foundation of morality.…

not realize it at the time, our actions impact us in a negative or positive way somewhere down the line. The choices we make will always stick with us and will shape us into who we are meant to be. Throughout my life, I have never followed one true moral philosophy. The people I’ve met, the places I’ve been and the experiences I’ve had have caused me to change me mind about many aspects of my life throughout the last 21 years. After taking a chance to reflect on all that has happened to me, I…

skills and resources necessary to end suffering in the world. He says that to do this we are each morally obligated to give as much as we are able without negative consequences on ourselves. He also states that in order for this to be achieved as a moral code, our structure of society must be changed. In this paper, I will argue that Peter Singer adequately presents his argument. I will also raise an objection to his argument and state his refutation of that objection. The objection raised is…
