Discuss Three That You Consider Very Important, And Defend Their Morals?

1. The Declaration contains thirty articles. Discuss three that you consider very important, and defend their fundamental characters. Of the thirty articles contained in The Declaration, articles 1, 5, and 26, I believe are very important. Article 1 states that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood”. This article is important to me because it allows individuals the freedom to do any and everything if it is within the law. It required that all are treated equal. This article prevents regression. Nations cannot pick and choice what human right they will obey, but have to obey all human rights mandated
by this declaration. This article prevents the establishment of inferior races. It encourages the nations to treat each other as equals.
Article 5 states that “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”.
No matter the circumstances torture is considered unlawful and not allowed. This should not be a situational decision. Individuals should not have the power to pick and choose when torture is okay to carry out. No one should be held responsible for admitting to a crime to prevent torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Article 29 states that (1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible; (2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society; and
(3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. This article is very important because it enforces the people obligation to each other to ensure that everyone has the same rights and freedoms regardless of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or
disability.
These three articles are very important for continued progress across the world. Without them people would be living in constant fear and mistreated unfairly.
2. What is the positive side of Situation ethics? The positive side of Situation ethics is that the outcome is based upon the best possible result according to the person at the time of the decision. The individual is solely responsible for what this right outcome should be.
3. Name two potential problems with Situation ethics? The two potential problems with Situation ethic are that there is no true distinguish between right and wrong, all acts are considered okay if it results in the right thing to do at the time and the decision is made by an individual that may be bias to the situation and not do what is truly right at the time and cause harm. 4. Do you believe that a person’s ethics change based on one’s situation? Is this a problem? Why or why not? Think back to the Milgram Experiment. I believe that a person’s ethics change based on one’s situation. People have selfish tendencies and want what they want, regardless of the consequences and the impact on others. Some people know the right thing to do but because of the circumstances and some may say, the lack of divine intervention, they tend to do what is wrong. I like the saying, “When you know better, do better”; but, that is easier said, than done. I believe people would choose to do right at all times have stronger convictions. Living for the now, at times, is easier and the need, at times to make the decision now can interfere with someone making the right ethical decision.
