In order to find that balance,
Everybody has encountered numerous problems since a human was born. Some obstacles may be easy to solve by themselves while some people might desire some advice to support them to clarify harder problems. Deciding to depart a house is not simple to spend people’s lives each day because they will face several dilemmas alone. Humans do not have any…

For example I feel it is ok to wear whatever color I want to wear regardless of what someone else may think and that it is wrong for someone to take my life over the color I decide to wear. On the other hand a gang banger may think it is right to take my life simply because I am wearing what they consider the wrong color in their neighborhood. I can confidently say that it is wrong to harm a creation of God. So when it comes to right or wrong it is up to the individual on what they consider this to be, but we must be aware that our views on this may differ which is ok because that is was makes us…

It becomes necessary in the course of human events for a group of people to break away from the norm of society that has kept them connected with the world for so long. Eventually, there comes a time when a group of people must work together to fight against the standards of society. They must unite and declare the causes that impel them to the separation as well as what defines them as one people.…
Why should the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? What supreme debt does a given individual owe to the rest of humanity -- if any at all? As a species, humans have established a somewhat unusual innate sense of moral _________. Although said *beliefs* undergo mild fluctuations based on geographical location and political or religious upbringings, modern civilization appears to have developed a relatively unanimous _____ of ethical standards…
The ambiguity of human freedom is especially evident when making important life choices, for example, who we want to be and how we want to live our lives. Fromm holds that although people in advanced societies have been freed from the bonds of preindividualistic society, which gave them both security and limitations, they have not gained freedom in the positive sense of realizing their individual selves. That is, they have not found an outlet for the optimal expression of their intellectual, emotional, and social potential. We have freedom to direct our lives—from the details of daily life to the more crucial choices such as our…
The choice of either living a content life with a wife, 2.3 children, and 1.4 pets or leaving everything behind to take the once in a lifetime opportunity to be with my soul mate is a difficult decision to make. However through Aristotle, Kant, and Mills I can determine the most ethical decision.…
This significant choice that we will be faced with will come to all of us and for most, they will not even have realized it. The choice or direction we choose to go at the crossroad will be referred to as the blue pill or the red pill. The blue pill or the pill of blind ignorance, or as the old saying goes, “Ignorance is bliss”, is the most popular choice, for its path is part of what seems to be the safer bet with the lowest variance in outcome. The blue pill doesn’t rock the proverbial boat. It seems to represent the known or a more predictable outcome, a security blanket that protects oneself from hard realities in everyday society. For most the truth is too much to bear. The red pill or the pill of truth involves more risk but carries a higher potential for understanding and spiritual growth. The red pill is the sun that chases the shadows away and overpowers the darkness. Through reason and logic and also sense perception, the choice of which pill to take should be clear.…
Soon we must all choose between who we want to be, and who we know we were born to be."…

We make decisions each and every day; everything we say and do is the result of a decision. For every choice, big or small, there is no easy formula for making the right decision. The best an individual can do is to approach it from as many perspectives as possible and then choose a course of action that is reasonable and balanced at that time.…
In one’s daily life, one will always encounter obstacles and have to make decisions. Many times, these decisions are made with the individuals own guidelines and morals. However, there are many different perspectives for a person to have and follow by; one of which is utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is the ethnical theory that holds that actions are morally good in so far as they promote utility. The principle of utility goals is to produce the greatest amount of happiness and good for the greatest number of people. (Restrepo). In order to guarantee an outcome to have the most maximized wellbeing and pleasure, there is criteria to follow. These are; intensity, duration, nearness, purity and extent. By using this criteria, I set forth a day where…
Frank had initially laid upon his human nature to retire from his criminal activities. Frank was well advanced in age, which restricted him from being swift in his activities. Hence, he slumped into his mortal nature and await his ultimate destiny, death. However, the arrival of the robot deconstructed his human nature. Initially, Frank thought that the Robot was a nuisance to his otherwise quiet life. Nonetheless, the Robot proved an instrumental part of Frank to a point of deconstructing his thought pattern. Frank was able to emerge from his slumber and take an active role in his life once again, although the decision taken was in the negative. His interaction with the Robot changed his condition. They both…
The question of right and wrong has been battled for years. To many, the concept of truth is deep, confidential and indefinable. In fact, it has been said that "The discovery of truth is the sole purpose of philosophy". Clearly, we are in deep water on this topic. Some believe in absolute truth, while others believe truth is relative. I believe truth is not absolute when it comes to the names of physical things. Nevertheless, I do believe truth is absolute when it comes to moral things. Aside from those, I believe that God is absolutely true.…
