When Danforth is questioning Mary about telling the truth in court, she states, "I cannot lie no more. I am with God, I am with God." Mary would tell the truth to a person higher than her, but only when there was no one around to persuade her to do otherwise. Abigail falsely accused Mary of seeing spirits that then led Mary to scream, "Let me go, Mr. Proctor, I cannot, I cannot—“ Mary threw her morals out the window when she realized that if she did not pretend to be possessed, she will be convicted. Mary did not care if she was being dishonest or a hypocrite.
Christopher Morrison My personal ethics statement. A person’s personal ethics are based upon ones core values, and their ability to rationalize a situation and determine the correct behavior. After using the resources provided to me I learned a lot about my own personal ethics. I fall into what is called “Rights and Responsibility and Relationship Lens”. I use my reasoning skills to “determine both the universal rules that each person should follow (autonomy) and the processes that will assure fairness and justice for all in the community (equality)”.
It is important that culture diversity is not lost but yet is advocates for its uniqueness instead of stereotyping one another. It I important to say we are all one and should live as such to keep harmony in our
His paranoia reached the point to where he was mentally unstable. One source of motivation for the killing of the king derives where most people would not most commonly suspect: his own wife. The idea of her becoming queen engulfed her mind; therefore, she urged Macbeth to proceed with the killing of King Duncan. Following Duncan’s murder, the only thing bothering Macbeth was the prophecy told by the witches about Banquou’s son becoming the king. Fearing the worst, he allowed his paranoia take over his thought process, by not it should be obvious that his paranoia played a big role in his decision making.
The same thing can be said about deontology, a person is good and moral when his choice of action within a community is inherently moral and good or they do the right thing. This makes the similarities between these three theories is goodness and morality as perceived by others within communities such as a work environment, a group of friends, and family. However; the vast differences between these three theories are how a community identifies a person as good, moral, and ethical. Virtue ethics looks directly into the character of a person to see if he or she is good and moral and this judgment or evaluation of his character is in the long term. Deontology as well as utilitarianism look at actions instead of character.
Love has so many ending. I can't get what I want to end, so why don't I just let him go. I will go to the court and tell them that I'm the witch. That was what I should got and that would be the only way to save the love between me and John. I love him, so I'm not supposed to hurt him and I don't want to hurt him.
These times also had many differences. People in the Salem Witch Trials were in the 1600's-a very naive time- while people during the time of McCarthyism lived in the 1950's. Citizens of America in the 1600's were scared of one thing, the devil. The churches wanted to rid their town of anyone who associated with him by being hanged. In the 1950's, however, people were terrified of the red Communists coming to take over their beloved country.
Because she is made to testify against her own will, the audience may think that she will not be able to give a solid testimony and crumble under the pressure. This also relates to mass hysteria and religion. As the belief in witches was very strong when The Crucible was set, any strange and unreligious behaviour may lead to be accused of being a witch. As Mary testified against the other girls her testimony was unsuccessful and then was accused of being a witch herself and throughout that part of the act you can tell that she was becoming mad and didn’t know what to
Those who dared to go against society and love or marry outside of these expectations were frowned upon or faced consequences if they had got caught doing so. Adultery was not very well tolerated in 1800’s; Though it is not as uncommon today, people still frown upon and disapprove of adultery, but there is more free will now than back in 18th/19th century. A society governed by rules, that neglect self-choice or preference, is a society which will more likely force others to be unhappy in the process. The universal theme or lesson of “The Storm” by Kate Chopin is that one’s society should not place restrictions or certain limitations (social class, religion or wealth) on two people whom naturally love each other for possibly all the right reasons (emotional love, passion, friendship, attraction, intimacy) but rather accept them and their choices because placing restrictions on love will most likely lead to unhappiness and lack of fulfillment for these people. The married couples in the story are Calixta and Bobinot, Alcee and the not-so-often mentioned, Clarisse.
The current Giledean society is to protect them from such fear and is actively promoted through re-education centres run by Aunts. “They made mistakes, says Aunt Lydia, we don’t tend to repeat them… A thing is valued, she says, only if it is rare and hard to get. We want you to be valued, girls.” (Atwood 141) However, such protection has peaked to the point of sexism, where the roles of men overpower the role of women, and the women are no longer heard. The first exaggeration of sexism Atwood portrays is the role that women uphold in the Giledean society. Because of the environmental pollution that has caused the sterility of 99% of women and men, women are ranked and given a role based on their functionality.
