The Seven Deadly Sins of Mahatma Gandhi
The Seven Deadly Sins mentioned by Mahatma Gandhi are: * Wealth without work
Nowadays we can see the evidence of people love to gain money without even have to do some work. Well, we might love to do that. I do want to if I could, haha. However, if we take a deep sight of it, we can see that there will be only two probabilities of people having some wealth without doing any efforts: (1) those people are heading towards laziness and poverty, (2) those people do corruptions. No offense, but money, wealth, is limited, and at one point it will be run out if the people did not do some work to add more money. Another possibility is to do some corruptions. People who corrupt can just manipulate money to add their own budgets. * Pleasure without conscience
Conscience. It is the awareness of choosing which one is right or wrong, comes deep beneath the logic. Imagine the world seeking for pleasure without considering their heart. There is no responsibilities for people to share their pleasure with other people who are needing. Pleasure without conscience results in an empty world inside people’s hearts, just like spending money without charity. * Knowledge without character
Having knowledge without character is like having a gasoline without a car. You might use it for something bad, such as to fire a building. People have the potential (knowledge), thus the character is set to make sure that the knowledge will be used wisely and for an appropriate and good thing. * Commerce (Business) without morality (ethics)
Lol as a business management student, I was really taught to have ethics in every move that I make. Business is all about seeking opportunities and gains the highest benefit from others. To decide some plans in a business, environment, society, and even the rival should be considered as the factors to do the business. Will it harm the environment? Hurt the society? Or should we really make the rival bankrupt? Those aspects are little aspects which can

    In Mohandas Gandhi’s speech “Economic and Moral Progress” emphasis is placed on distinguishing the difference between economic and moral progress. From Gandhi’s experience and studies he recognizes that economic and moral progress are often opposing and interchangeable. Gandhi states that he knows little of economics but was more that happy to speak on the topic because of his strong belief in the importance of moral progress over economic progress. Gandhi relies primarily on religious text coupled with all three rhetoric devices to exemplify his argument. Gandhi quotes the bible in saying “Take no thought for the morrow” meaning one should seek morality over material advantage, an idea prevalent “in almost all the religious scriptures in the world”(Gandhi 334) and it is this very idea with which Gandhi argues.…

    We are often troubled and worried about the course of our actions, and the ethics associated with those actions. Ethics are known to be the fundamental principles or beliefs associated with morally acceptable and morally unacceptable behavior, seen in a person’s eyes. Now according to moral relativism, an area of ethics, our values are determined by the society we grow up in and there are no universal values (van de Lagemaat p.387). For example, Muslims are prohibited to eat pork while in other religions, eating pork is considered perfectly acceptable. Hence, a person’s ethics can have originated from a variety of different sources. An ethical responsibility is known to be our responsibility to act upon our beliefs based on what we consider as morally right or wrong. In this paper, I will explore the extent to which the possession of knowledge truly carries an ethical responsibility.…

    Philippines as a democratic country hold election as a political process in which the citizens choose their candidates to govern the country. Through conducting election, people’s voice is being heard. Election is said to be the basic in a democratic country, it is the most needed component in order to let the people feel that the country they are living with is a country being governed by them. It should be held free and fair but in contrary to reality, election now is being affected by its so-called “ills”. Electoral sabotage, electoral violence and vote buying have been its part and parcel in every conduct of Philippine election.…

    Morality. In today’s world we hear this term a great deal. In religion, politics, wars, etc, morality is spoken from the media, shouted from the roof tops and criticized by men and women alike. Many state that it is an old fashion concept, out of date and out of step with modern society and we need not follow it. Yet, few people hold to these lines when they hear of some scandal, some business dealing, some political mess that has gone awry and thus has been catapulted into the mainstream of everyday society. Then we care.…

    The Philippines our country, the home of the Filipinos and the so called ‘Pinoy’ me and you are all this so called ‘Pinoy’. Well every Filipinos have their own rights and their own freewill to vote for their desired leader. And every candidate have their own reasons and their own platforms. We don’t know what are these reasons, but we know their platforms and this is the bad side of not knowing our own candidates in and out. We all know their platforms and their so called “plans for our community/country” but we don’t know what are the reason why they are running for the position in governing our country. For some they say that some political candidates are just in for the money and power but some candidates refuse to accept or just to say what is the truth behind their candidacy. The Philippines has history of poor and really bad reputation when the word “Election” comes in every 6 years. We had a wide history of corruption ,scandal ,injustice when the Election comes we don’t know how to solve this rotting and unjust system for almost 60+ years and now with all the advance and sophisticated technology the stench of the rottenness is still crippling the wish of millions and millions of Filipinos who just want an honest and truthful Elections. But no we still cannot get this wish why? Because of those who are in the power right now with their money and wealth in disposal, While we cannot do anything but to vote for nothing why. Why nothing? If they win are we sure that they will do the platforms that they promised among millions of Filipinos who is starving and dying and working their asses off just to eat one time in a day. I am not blaming the government but the evidence is there its in our face already why are those in power only have the capability of becoming wealthy meanwhile the one who bought them in their positions right now is the one who is suffering from hunger…

    In 1972, the Philippines was ruled under a Martial Law by President Ferdinand Marcos because of a threat of armed communist insurgency, among other reasons (“Proclamation,” n.d.). This phenomenon made a big impact in the Philippines. Some of its effects are constitution manipulation, reduction of crime which led to human rights violation, stability of the economy, and cut off of mass media and communication (Frivaldo & Orozco, 2014). Despite this, in the recent years, the Marcos family still holds position in the government. Imelda Marcos, the wife of the late President Ferdinand Marcos, is the congresswoman of the second district of Ilocos Norte (“House,” n.d.). Imee Marcos, the daughter of said late president, was elected as governor of the…

    Background always forms the backbone of current structure. For this reason it is important to value the history of the influencing ideology just as important as the current structure. Current structure shares an equal importance in predicting the future of a state, along side with its history. The most vital issues that face any country and their chances with democracy lie in the current problems. Not only is it important to recognize these problems but also address possible solutions. Once the issues, historical and current, facing the Philippines are addressed then it becomes apparent why the country not represent a true democracy, but also why it will take much time before it does.…

    Maguindanao Massacre

    Even for a country long hardened to election violence, the massacre of at least 57 defenseless civilians on the main southern island of Mindanao, many of them relatives and supporters of a local politician and a large group of journalists, sets a new low. This troubled corner of the Philippines usually makes headlines for its long-running Muslim separatist rebellion. But the killings starkly exposed a nationwide malaise: the fierce competition for regional power among the country's small élite of a few hundred families and clans that control an inordinate amount of the national wealth — and the desperate lengths some will go to protect their hold on power.…
