In Brains and Behaviors‚ Hilary Putnam argues against logical behaviorism by stating that that the word ‘pain’ is vague and that it is more of a reaction than a behavior.

Medically speaking‚ the quality of life is a patient’s general well-being. If a patient has an extremely low quality of life and understands what they are doing‚ they should be able to choose if they would like to medically end their own life.

The Ratification of the Constitution There were many arguments for and against the ratification of the Constitution of the United States. The people that wanted the Constitution to be ratified and people who opposed it were called federalists and anti-federalists. They would get into heated arguments whether or not the Constitution should be ratified. The worst thing about the Constitution is it has no Bill of Rights to protect the people’s rights.

That they are a result of a loss of freedom‚ and democratic rights for the duration of a prison sentence. The main point of this is to the offender that criminal behavior results in a loss of freedom and rights (Chapman‚ 2016). The strongest argument I have read is the one Johnathan Aitkens wrote. He explained his view point very politically‚ as well as ethically.

In this week‚ there was the topic from the whaling ban and the issues this caused. I chose the whaling ban because I like the animals and I’m against the violence or any harm with animals. Each paragraph answers the questions for the assignment. I don’t agree with the Norwegian and Japanese for hunting whales as a cultural exemption.

For example‚ according to English Archbishop William Booth‚ elephant’s ivory can be worth over $200 a kilogram and is in high demand (Booth). Once hunters know this‚ they will only want to kill the elephants more. Another reason they support trophy hunting is because they think it is inevitable no matter what they do.
