SHIPBOARD DISCIPLINE
Ship’s officers and crew should realize the importance of maintaining strict discipline and courtesy on board. The kind of discipline existing aboardship will either mean the difference between crews who promptly follow orders or a mutinous bunch of gripping seamen, especially so when the ship is in distress and life is in danger.
The desirable and happy seamen are those who have the proper concept of discipline. No organization could operate without it. Discipline develops selfcontrol, character, and efficiency. It implies subjection to control exerted for the good of the whole, and adherence to rules, policies and regulations intended for the orderly coordination of effort. A well discipline crew is one whose members work with enthusiasm, willingness, and zest as individuals; and as a group tries to fulfill the mission of the ship’s expectation of success. Discipline develops teamwork. The signs of shipboard discipline are manifested by efficiency in the performance of work and prompt obedience to orders especially in time of emergency aboardship.
Leadership, moral responsibility and discipline are some good traits that serve as guidelines for shipboard discipline.

Leadership
Leadership is word seafarers should fully understand. This is something expected of you are long as you are a seaman or a
Navy man. It is quality like courage, intelligence, or diligence. All men have potentials for leadership. Others acquire more of it through experience you are not exception.

    In the "case of the shipwrecked sailors", three men were marooned after the sinking of an oil tanker. Subject to extreme conditions and starvation, the men drew lots after about twenty five days and decided that the loser would be killed and eaten as food. When one of the men lost the draw, he pulled out his consent, and the other two men killed him anyway, eating him. Five days later, the remaining two men were rescued and ensuing actions incurred their murder charges. This seems to be a simple case over the battle of life and death, and it truly is. The two men, Dudley and Stephens, made a conscious decision to commit not only the crime of murder, but the atrocity of cannibalism. Crime is crime and law is law- when breaks a law and commits a crime, a punishment must ensue.…

    justice is a very important part of a view from the bridge and on the waterfront. justice comes in two forms, kazans view of true american justice which encourages the fight to free the distressed, the other form of justice does not follow morals but is driven by feelings of love hate and fear. In on the waterfront the dock workers are more slow and unwilling to follow the law, they fear justice will cause more trouble and not lessen the domination of the mob, the community does not seem to have much confidence in the law. In the view from the bridge loyalty is valued more than the law, this is shown when eddie ruled by his feelings betrays the community and becomes an exile in his own town. The law does not satisfy eddies desire for justice…

    Aristotle, a famous Greek philosopher, had a theory of trying to simplify the task of arguing by dividing and classifying arguments into three types. The three types are called Logos or logic-base, Pathos or emotion based, and Ethos or credibility based. The two classic essays, “Life Boat Ethics” by Garrett Hardin and “A Modest Proposal” by Johnathan Swift, the writers make good suggestions with these types of arguments over world population and world famine.…

    Approximately 1,697 letters of Marque were designated to privateer ships in the course of the Revolutionary War, while the Continental Navy had just under 70 ships. Letters of Marque were licenses to ships to legally attack or raid enemy ships, drawing comparisons to legalized piracy. The discrepancy between the letters of Marque, or numbers of privateer ships, and naval vessels makes clear which mode of naval aggression was preferred in the United States; however, privateering was not necessarily a positive for the U.S. The practice of privateering was detrimental to the United States because it stagnated the development of the U.S. Navy, made the U.S. Navy redundant, and ran contrary to American values.…

    In Garrett Hardin’s “Lifeboat Ethics” he explains that the world we live in is unequal and becoming increasingly poor. He tries to explain that if the poor isn’t controlled then the Earth will become overpopulated and unrestrained. I believe that Hardin’s writing of “Lifeboat Ethics” is effective and persuasive. His writing is persuasive because with every action to fix the poorness of our world he has a counter, Hardin uses numbers and percentages to show how the population increases of poor countries versus rich ones, and he also paints pictures in people’s heads very well.…

    I am arguing that pirates and explorers are the same. Some reasons that shows they are alike is simply, how society has portrayed them how we think and how movie/book show that pirates are evil and manipulative and explorers are brilliant and heroic. Another reason they are alike is there greed, there has been many times that explorers and their greed has taken over. The last reason is what they’ve done, and how both of them have done horrible things. These are the three reasons why I think that pirates and explorers are alike.…

    Ecology, most simply put, is "the study of relationships between organisms and their environment". (Encyclopedia Britannica) Garrett Hardin, writer of the essay Lifeboat Ethics: The Case against Helping the Poor was a professor of human ecology at the University of California at Santa Barbara and had some extremely harsh opinions about the solution to global population issues. As a professor of human ecology, Hardin studied the relationship between humans and their environment, and in this case the entire globe. It is a well known fact that environmental degradations, unequal wealth distribution and exponential population growth are growing problems in the world, and in his essay, Hardin explains that there are relatively simple solutions to these problems. While Hardin's solutions to the interconnected global environment, economic and population problems are harsh and potentially immoral, Hardin convinced me they are the only solutions to a growing global issue.…

    Iran’s navy has rescued various foreign ships from the hands of pirates. Commander of the Iranian Navy said "The dispatch of the 21 fleets of warships to international waters in a three-year-long period and their 100% success in accomplishing missions signify the might and power of the Army's naval force," Despite economic sanctions imposed by the west, Iran and its navy have still met its mandate to help save and protect foreign ships from pirates in the gulf of Aden (even those of its oppressors). Iran’s position is that piracy must be combated by a joint effort of all countries involved with the gulf and that co-operation with countries on defeating piracy must persist…
