... have moral worth. Stipulations of the categorical imperative are that all actions should act only on the maxim, that actions have moral worth, and the end is necessary. From these stipulations, it can be derived that the categorical imperative should be followed in order to live morally. “If an action is conceived as good in itself and consequently as being necessarily the principle of a will which of itself conforms to reason, then it is categorical.” (Abbott, 32) “There is therefore but one categorical imperative, namely, this: Act only on that maxim whereby thou canst at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” (Abbott, 38) The cate ...
... Delaware Speedway has a tremendous effect on the surrounding area businesses. In downtown Delaware Ontario there is an ESSO gas station and garage, which is located on Highway #2. This highway is the main road through Delaware, and half of the people going to the track pass this gas station on route to the Speedway. A regular night at the track usually features three different classes of racing : street stock, modified, and CASCARS. A street stock car the lowest class in racing. It would roughly cost seven thousand dollars to run this type of car for one racing season. A modified car is an open wheel vehicle that is incredibly faster than the street stock by about ...
... to make cheese. This way none of the valuable nutrient was wasted, since milk cannot be stored and cheese can. The oldest cheese making artifacts found date back from 2000 BC. It is thought that man stumbled on cheese accidentally. It would have been produced when milk being carried in the stomachs of cows reacted with enzymes in the wall of the dead animals stomach. This reaction would produce a cheese like curd. It is the production of cheese in so many regions of the world that created so many different varieties of cheese. It impossible to state the number of named varieties of cheese in the world because new names are constantly being introduced. ...
... Canada. They relied on the democratic government of England and to some extent to those of the United States, which guaranteed equal rights. Their vision of national identity included English as the primary language and the English culture as the standard for all of Canada. Two different types of nationalisms were then formed. The first was an ethnic nationalism in which French-speaking citizen felt that they owed their loyalty to the French community. The second was a civic nationalism in which the English-speaking citizens felt that they owed their loyalty to the entire nation of Canada (Conlogue, 21). The civic view of Canadian national identity a ...
... for instance, they find it better than their country because it has a different system. The United States' system is Capitalism, which means that any person can be a private ownership. Therefore, it may be easier for those people to adapt a new culture or a new environment. For example, in "The Plane Reservation," Massud Farzan states that he has stayed in the United States for a long time before he visited his family in Iran. When he arrived in Iran, he found a lot of changes. It can be understood that the writer didn't like his country and his culture before he left to the United States. When he lived in the United States, he found the right place for him ...
... Historical writings were especially popular. Herodotus, (“The Father of History”) traveled throughout the civilized world and recorded the manners and customs of elder nations. About 450 BC, a group of philosophers, the Sophists, became prominent. They were groups of teachers, and scholars of theories of knowledge. They invented what is known in literature as rhetoric, or the art of composing and delivering persuasive speeches. The Sophist movement contributed to the rise of prose over poetry in Athens, as shown with the attached pictures. The ancient Greeks did not establish one unified country. Instead they established city-states, each called ...
... Nora and her feelings toward her father. Nora's father is a very controlling parent. Growing up, she was restricted in her actions and dialog. As she grew to the age of marriage, because of her upbringing she knew nothing of the outside world. The only man she had been accustomed to was her father, which led her to believe every decision her father made was correct. Nora's attitude toward males and her perception of society were very similar from other woman of the time. It was common during the Victorian time period for the male figures in a home to act as the dominating role in the family. The man made the decisions for the family, and the other family memb ...
... changes. Mr. West's first challenge was to end the wealth inequality, which although extremely ambiguous, is absolutely possible. Mr. West believes in the old cliché, "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Although the government would like to deny such a claim, it seems as though Mr. West is right about this. With the wealthiest people owning all of the property and the businesses, it doesn't give people with fewer resources the opportunity to compete. I doubt that Bill Gates would ever allow any small business competition, even though it would never hurt the billion-dollar monopoly of Microsoft. Gates would just assume that Microsoft has all the tech ...
... human rights in Egyptian society is also characteristic of ancien t Egyptian divine law. The actual concept of “human rights,” as we have come to understand them, is an understanding that has evolved with legal positivism, along with man's ability to distinguish between the spheres of the secular and vernacular. To prove these points, I also intend to explore Hammurabi's codification of natural law, and Socrates' interpretation of the state of legal positivism in ancient Greece. Although misguided, the ancient Egyptians systemically subscribed their lives to divine authority and law. This is due to their culture's unique co-habitation of secular life and v ...
... Hemmingway’s attempt to create the perfect wife through Catherine, may have in fact been too successful, as he leaves the reader questioning whether she “is too idealistic, too selflessly loving and giving to be believed as a character.” This is no truer than at the hospital after Catherine informs Frederic (Tenente), that she is pregnant her only concern becomes his happiness despite his constant pleas that he is in fact happy about the pregnancy. This is only overshadowed by her constant reassurances that she will be a “good girl”, never failing to apologize hastily for any momentary lapse in judgement. In fact, Catherine never fails to support Fre ...
