But if it’s something that you know is wrong and you still do it‚ you should be held accountable for it. For example‚ if 2 people are in a situation where only one person will be able to survive and one of them decides

Murder is the intentional or negligent killing of another human being. It could be argued that Victor Frankenstein acted negligently and is responsible for the deaths of the monster he created. However‚ just because Victor Frankenstein created the monster does not necessarily mean he is responsible for the monsters actions. Victor Frankenstein did not create the monster with the intention to harm or kill another human being. The monster acted on his own free will. Even though Frankenstein created

Things Parents Should Teach Their Children There are many things parents should teach their children‚ but I think the most important things children should be taught are how to forgive‚ how to respect themselves and others‚ and how to be a good citizen to society.

A child working at early ages is not as good as you think. Children should not work at early ages. Children should not work at early ages because children may care more about the money and less about their education may drop out of school‚ and not be able to balance school work and their job life.

Some children’s minds are set that they feel money is everything they need.

Some philosophers rejected the idea of determinism because it ruled out any individual‚ moral responsibility but the question still lies as to whether

Is Macbeth responsible for his actions? When reading William Shakespeare’s Macbeth‚ we really have to contemplate whether Macbeth was responsible for his actions or whether he was manipulated and persuaded by people around him. When scrutinising the play in detail‚ the events show that‚ without the persuasion of Lady Macbeth‚ the witches and the ambition to become king‚ the events that occurred in the play wouldn’t have happened the way they did. The witches’ role in Macbeth’s downfall occurred
