In this essay, I will try to explore Victor Frankenstein’s characterization, in terms of his humanity considering his experiences, and his narration. My aim in trying to explore Frankenstein’s characterization is to show that although the appearance of the creature was resembled a monster; it could not be defined as monster. It cannot be denied that the creature behaved mercilessly and he was accused of murdering even though he was good hearted. However, the creature could not present his feelings and thoughts to anyone as his appearance was monstrous. So, Victor Frankenstein was guilty as he created the creature, and left him alone.
Sarah Yost Mr. Massey Period 3-4 10/4/12 Robot Domination Humans rely too much on robotic machines. Robots should not be able to communicate or act like humans on their own. Brian Aldiss, the author who wrote the short story “Who Can Replace a Man” demonstrates how without humans the robots would take over our world. Brian shows how a group of bots try to overcome a problem of no orders by going on a long and treacherous journey in order to fix or build a new orderly system. “’We will speak to each other.
The Creature all the same was driven by vengeance during his time of existence. For example, when the Creature gets kicked out of the little cottage he was filled with the feeling of revenge. He went on to say that he wouldn't even feel bad if he destroyed the cottage and everyone in it. He might even take pleasure in doing so. The Creature also wanted revenge when Dr. Frankenstein would not create a companion for him!
Kant devised two different types of imperatives which allow us to make our decisions, hypothetical imperatives are the rules that we follow to attain a personal outcome or a selfish wish whereas categorical imperatives are intrinsically right. His first categorical imperative was meant to establish that humans should only act according to a law that can be universalised. ‘’Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law’’ – (Kant the moral order). The second of the imperatives is that we as humans should never use another human as a means to an end, treat them all with value. ‘’Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end and never merely as a means to an end’’.
Fighting the Tyranny of Man Some unwinnable wars are worth dying for, some lost causes are worth fighting for, and if this is true justice will prevail. The Superhuman Registration Act is a consequence of Nitro’s actions, which killed the New Warriors and young children; this is unfortunate, but it does not mean all superhumans, super heroes and super villains, should suffer and be discriminated against, due to the actions of a select few. Under this act, all superhumans must register with the federal government, risking their freedom, and the control of individual super abilities. There is a division among superhumans on whether or not this ludicrous law should be followed. Mr. Anthony Stark, playboy, philanthropist, a billionaire who
Jonathan Carlisle Professor Strine Argumentative Paper October, 12, 2012 Was Carl Lee Hailey’s act of murder Justified? There is much controversy surrounding Carl Lee Hailey and whether or not his act of murder was justifiable. The real question though is whether or not there is ever a justifiable act of murder. Carl Lee Hailey murdered two white men who had raped and beaten his daughter to the point of near death. Its hard for anyone to say that they would not do the same thing if they were in his position but that is not the question at hand, people want to know is what he did ok.
Although horror movies can be psychotic, gory, and may sometimes give creative ideas to criminals; criminals committed heinous crimes before the television was even invented. The history of violent crimes and horror films show how violence has been influential to horror films, but does not make a connection with horror films increasing violent behavior. The first actual murder can date back to about 4,000 B.C. when Cain murdered his brother Able (Wikipedia.com). Where did Cain get this idea from?
Clinically insane people are hard to predict. Stereotypes have shown that some have multiple personalities, while others have hallucinations. The clinically insane, when they commit a serious crime, should not be tried in a court of law for the act of their mental instability. When it comes to a crime, such as murder, the evidence is usually of the incriminating type making the accused look guilty, unless all of it has been scientifically proven otherwise. In Primal Fear, Aaron Stampler has been given a label as insane, in order to convince his defense lawyer, Martin Vale, that he is as innocent as he appears.
I have researched a few stories behind the stand your ground law and its amazing how so many people have got away with murder. People seem to be taking what they believe to be justice in their own hands. Doing something off your own opinion isn’t always the right thing to do. You may not like people who wear red shirts. Do you think they should die?
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. Fick 2 With these laws the idea of singularity can occur without human kind's loss of individuality, identity, free will, or humanness. Also that the idea of human extinction also can not occur due to the laws implanted within the robots. They cannot injure humanity or injure a human, they must obey all human commands, and they must protect their own existence.
