3. Just societies are committed to and respect the autonomy of their citizens. C1: Equality of condition requires equal autonomy. C2: An autonomous society is also an egalitarian society. Nielsen states ”I shall argue…that autonomy cannot be widespread or secure in a society which is not egalitarian: where, that is, equality is not also a fundamental value which has an operative role within the society” (Munson 708).
However, conservatives argue that this is fair, as those who shoulder mores responsibility in society should be repaid more in terms of wealth than someone with less responsibility. This arguably means that it will lead to a fairer society. An 'organic society' could reduce atomism. This is because an 'organic society' sees society as a whole, living entity as opposed to being made up of self-seeking and self-striving individuals. This could lead to society being more cooperative, as people comprehend that everyone is of equal value to society, regardless of the role they fulfil.
Taoism and Confucianism are two major theories or rather philosophical systems, which emerged in China, and later influenced many countries of East Asia. Such as, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam. Confucianism is mainly centered on virtue and ethics as a means to an ordered society and beliefs than an ordered society is what people strive for. Taoism, on the other hand, focuses on the individual life in relation to the Tao, or ‘way of nature’. Both are considered philosophies and not religions and acknowledge a path that a person should follow in life.

Perhaps more so than Emotivists, Prescriptivists see ethical language as fairly meaningful. They believe that the terms used are able to create absolute rules that everyone ought to follow. It would seem that ethical language is seen by many as very meaningful, although for varying reasons. However agent centred theories such as Virtue Ethics would argue that our main focus of morality should be on becoming as virtuous as possible, rather than deciding what is meant by ethical language. Therefore it would seem that perhaps morality should be more focussed on individuals’ actions rather then defining what is meant by ‘good’ and
“Members of the free market society generally still cherish the hope that free markets will create universal well being.” In respect to them we ignore the connections to addiction, free markets and dislocation. Finally Alexander and Shaler argue that the spread of alcoholism is not a result of a “criminal” or “medical” problem but is “but is primarily a political and spiritual problem.” Changing our arguments on addiction is essential for political action to occur. “The key to controlling addiction is maintaining a society in
He states that ethnic diversity is a stepping-stone for varying perspectives and even more skillsets to a particular population. As a result of this collection of ranging views and skillsets, society is perceived to unify and bond over these ideals rather than segregate from one another. “Diversity might actually reduce both in-group and out-group solidarity….both bonding and bridging together of social capital” (Putnam, 2007). In other words, a more self-less, unified and society is formed due to tolerance and acceptance of others ideals, preferences and values amongst co-ethnics and non co-ethnics. This idea plays well in hand with the principle that cultures and ethnic identities are formed with shared values and preferences.
This theory argues that the good deeds of a sentient being results in benefits for the being while the bad deeds will result great harm. Kantian philosophy revolves around duty instead of morality. It bases its ethics on a criterion that makes us understand whether a maxim is correct or wrong. On the other hand, the virtue ethics asserts that ethics is about positive character traits such as morality, honesty, forgiveness, patience among others. The above named moral and economic implications of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement can be analyzed with these theories.
However, they each displayed deviating and unique characteristics, especially with their selection of bureaucrats, the building of infrastructure, and the spread of the empire. The nature or rather the culture towards these techniques differed in these two empires. On one hand, both cultures demands respect of the systems from those rules, however, the way this was carried out differed in each empire. The Hans placed a special emphasis on the ideals and principles of Confucianism. The subjects of Han China would have been raised to respect with question their superiors and to know their proper place and role in society.
James Rachels’ on Normative Cultural Relativism Every culture has its own customs, traditions and beliefs that dictate the actions of its citizens. Cultural relativism states that although practices and ethical beliefs differ from society to society, it must be accepted as good, relative to each respective culture’s beliefs and moral code. Rachels believes that an act that may be frowned upon in one culture may in fact be totally acceptable in another. The theory of Cultural Relativism puts in action the idea of what people believe is morally right and how it relates to the culture that it is practiced in. Morals concern what is right and wrong.
