The hypothesis of the research paper “An fMRI Investigation of Emotional Engagement in Moral Judgement” propose that moral judgment involve emotional process is highly active during moral dilemmas relevantly similar to the footbridge dilemma, than those relevantly similar to the trolley dilemma and these differences in emotional engagement affect people in their judgements. Researcher assumed that the areas of the brain which are directly linked with the emotions would be more effective during the footbridge dilemma observation; such as purposely sacrificing one person life by pushing a large person off a footbridge to stop the coming trolley to save five others, as contrast to the trolley dilemma observation; such as by hitting a switch to reroute the trolley onto a opposite direction where it would run over one individual and kill that person, thus this would save other five people. Researcher also purposed that people tend to refuse to consider as an appropriate action during footbridge dilemma because it seems as harmful action and provokes a negative emotional response that persuades people to say this action as inappropriate. On the other hand, people tend to agree to consider as an appropriate action during the trolley dilemma because as the countervailing emotional response is absent during this situation, thus people tend to be in default condition to a utilitarian state of rationalizing that provokes this action as a favors approach to trade one life to save other five. Researcher suggested that the automatic emotional response provoked by the footbridge situation is related to the more likely as a moral-personal type of the harm.
Those actions seem all good; nonetheless, in real world, it often ends up the adverse consequences. Most of the time, politicians speak in the benefit of people; yet, in fact, they have a bigger goal to do so: to be popular or to get elected. Because of that reason, everyone should not look at the surface of the issue but dig down inside to see its real nature. Things just may not be the way it seems. It’s like a toxic candy with poison inside but sweet sugar covering outside.
There was only a simple law, and that was to not read books as well as think, making “the mind drink less and less.” This doesn’t seem much of a sacrifice because society was filled with far more excitement than literature could offer. Meanwhile, new technology helped people do everyday chores and made life simpler, leaving more time for fun. Like Beatty said, “Life is immediate, the job counts, and pleasure lies all about after work.” Entertainment ruled their society. The parlor walls seem like a god compared to our TVs. The seashell radios are convenience at its best.
For example, if I ran out of milk, to me this could be an overwhelming crisis, and I might label this a ten. The other person might have some real crisis, but they are a little easier going and label their issue as a 5. I wonder if this listener-talker relationship would dwindle. The listener in this situation might not have confidence in me anymore knowing how over-dramatic I might be. Then again, no one has the right to number my feelings, because they are my own (Peterson,
For example some things are able to control is our opinions which result to the emotions we build that result in our over all reaction. We also have control and power over the way we feel, to achieve happiness, and peace in our life by altering our mind in every situation in life that we come across. Epictetus also explains the difference between good and evil through philosophy in stating that good is what we desire and as for evil is something to be avoided because it is
Outline the scene and why you chose it: The reason why I chose this scene is because it carry’s a powerful tone. The use of tone in this scene is used extremely effectively and creates an emotional image within the audiences mind. The use of movement and levels helps create a visual image of the setting and gives the audience further depth into the scene. 2. Discuss the way they visualize it and what you hope the audience will take from it (i.e empathy for the character, understanding of how it feels to be in that situation).
The human body is designed to know when stress is used and is effecting the body and your body should know how and when to react to it. Everyone thinks that stress is a bad thing but it is also a positive. This is because stress is keeping you alert and will prepare you for any kind of danger. Stress can become dangerous is someone is faced with stress continuously without any kind of relief. Stress becomes very dangerous when they use alcohol, tobacco or drugs to try and relieve the stress.
Through analyzing the advertisements I found that some ads can actually serve some use such as the UNICEF ad for aid for poverty stricken children, but ads such as Nation’s “Go National. Go like a Pro.” With the highly aesthetic scene is just plain unnecessary and dramatic. This has taught me to think twice, and to control the impulses that can easily overcome a person due to advertising and the tactics used to sell the product and make
People with too much pride are easily manipulated into things because they fear people thinking less of them. Too much arrogance can lead to humiliation if you boast about yourself and your abilities and then fall short. The right amount of both can lead you to greatness, but too much like our friend Macbeth can lead to a downward spiral of bad decisions if you let hubris cloud your better judgement. Macbeth was a great war hero who allowed hubris to make decisions for him without thinking about consequences and that ultimately led to his
Objects relations theory affects among other things such as consistent emotional closeness and stability in relationships with significant others. Humanistic psychology on the other hand helps me choose on the most important issues affecting my life. I am able to evaluate the most pressing matters and be able to deal with difficult situations in an effective manner. This theory also helps me understand that I am a person of great potential and that my characteristics are what define me and help realize self
