Henry Sidgwick’s Arguments and Theories of Utilitarianism and Egoism: Morality, Sanctions, Reasoning and Common Sense (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

This is a 5 page paper discussing Sidgwick’s “The Methods of Ethics” as he examines the morality behind the arguments of the Utilitarianism and the Egoist philosophies. In Henry Sidgwick’s “The Methods of Ethics”, he examines the morality behind the arguments of the Utilitarianism and the Egoist philosophies. In doing so, Sidgwick finds that the morality of common sense is outlined by its adherence to certain principles of consensus in a society and which seem to be consistent throughout history and societies. The morality of common sense is consistent with that of utilitarianism in that moral good is measured by the greatest good for the greatest number. Sidgwick finds however that the utilitarianism argument fails against that of the egoist who finds that an action which brings each man’s happiness is the basis for man’s morality. In order to “prove” his argument, the utilitarian imposes sanctions on the egoist which in a sense state that there are pleasures and pains which will be expected if an egoist acts only in his own self interests. These sanctions however, do not offer “proof” for the egoist as for him, his own happiness is by definition only good, not only for him but also from a universal perspective.

Nietzsche’s “Birth of Tragedy” and its Relation to Socratean Thought (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

A 5 page examination of the views of the German philosopher Nietzsche and Socrates in regard to morality. Contends that although Nietzsche is most for what is perceived as his opposition to morality while Socrates is remembered for his quest to define morality and what it means to act in a morally responsible way, both agree that life is an ongoing struggle between the values of just and unjust, right and wrong, admissibility and shamefulness. Although the popular perception of Nietzsche is that he opposes morality, a closer look at this man and his writings reveals that he saw morality as being defined by the same factors by which Socrates saw it being defined.

The Underlying Theme of Morality in The Aeneid, Matthew, and The Inferno (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

A 5 page overview of the common theme of morality presented in these three great works of literature. Defines morality and contends that despite their apparent diversity, these three works of literature each offers a slightly different view of the factors which enter into man’s choice of morality or immorality and of the consequences of those choices. Concludes that these works provide us a means of distinguishing right from wrong and important from unimportant. They also provides us a means of introspection, of self-examination designed to allow us to make that same journey from spiritual immaturity to salvation. It is our morality, or lack of it, which determines the ultimate direction our souls will take and this lesson can be honed home in some of the most diverse of the world’s literature.

Women as Agents of Morality (6 Pages, 71.7 USD)

A 6 page discussion of whether or not women act as agents of morality. Contends that women are not only moral they are often agents of morality, instigating moral standards and codes on a largely patriarchal society which without them might not have such positive norms. Emphasizes, however, that history has more frequently denounced women as agents of morality rather than acknowledge them as such. The reasons for this denouncement lies in the fact that women often take a stance on morality which differs considerably from that of men. Uses the work of feminist author Adrienne Rich to illustrate the fact that what some think is moral others denounce as immoral. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Forensic Psychology: Issues of Morality and Justice (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

A 5 page overview of the role forensic psychologists play in issues of morality and justice. Notes that in effect forensic psychology is a court of law, a system designed to weigh the mental processes of some against those of the masses. Psychology is really a means of justification, the presentation of evidence or facts which support our views or beliefs. This "evidence" or "fact" varies considerably, however, according to what arena it is presented. A rigid testing and diagnostic regime is therefore critical to justice. The issues of morality and justice are integrally tied to the “court of law” of forensic psychology. It is by gauging one’s morality and concept of justice, in fact, that allows us in many instances to distinguish normal from aberrant. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Position Paper Concerning Sexuality and Social Policy/Sexual morality (8 Pages, 95.6 USD)

(6 pp) Formalized church attendance is at the lowest it has been for the last twenty years. To believe that the formal church can serve the same function it has in the past, is neither complementary to the church community at large, or to those, who are seeking spirituality form other sources. It should definitely be kept in mind that this position paper is not about judgment calls, or judging, rather it is about taking an honest look at where our society "is" in relationship to its own sexuality, and understanding. Much of sexual morality is placed within a structured religious framework. This paper will seek definitions, explore attitudes, and consider options for removing sexual morality from its religious frame, and addressing it on a human morality basis. Bibliography lists 3 sources, including presentation outline.

Morality And God (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

5 pages in length. Morality is possible only if there's a God, inasmuch as there exists no objectivity in the concept of morality; rather, it is merely a matter of opinion or feeling. Sure, people can reach consensus about empirical, scientific matters of fact. But moral matters aren't matters of fact. Indeed, people are bound to disagree with one another when it comes to issues of right and wrong, which ultimately avails only two options: one can either believe in God and know objective truth about morality, or one can abandon all belief in God as a means by which to allow the world to plummet straight into moral chaos. Can any individual truly want to live in a world in which morals are completely relative and anything is permissible? Bibliography lists 4 sources.
