Also, in order for information to be good it should be accurate, timely, relevant , sufficient and worth its cost. b. If you have more information, do you weigh more? Why or Why not? Weight is not relevant in this case because information is an intagible thing that cannot be weighted nor quantified.
Forms are about knowledge and the Form of the good is the most important thing to know. Beauty, justice and courage are not enough on their own – they are aspects of living a good life. If there is no “good life” or good, there is no understanding of beauty, justice, courage etc. If there is no Form of the good, there is no Form of beauty etc. To know beauty or courage or justice fully is to know that they are not everything, it is to know
As Thomas Jefferson stated in the Declaration of Independence “that [all men] are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” “Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions (Dalai Lama XIV),” it is a feeling that humans strive for, but this great feeling does not last forever and it is the journey to get to this occasional feeling is what Americans are entitled to. As humans we are not defined by who we are currently but how we got there. This is what the American dream is all about, the things you did and the measures you took to achieve your dream and to pursue your
Second, he argues that it is only by virtue of something being sentient that it can be said to have interests at all, so this places sentience in a different category than the other criteria: "The capacity for suffering and enjoying things is a prerequisite for having interests at all, a condition that must be satisfied before we can speak of interests in any meaningful way" (175). That is, Singer is trying to establish that if a being is not sentient, the idea of extending moral consideration to it makes no sense. This negative argument is important, because one common criticism of Singer is that his criterion ends up excluding humans who are no longer sentient (like those in an irreversible coma); Singer is content to accept that consequence, but it is important that he show why the exclusion of some humans by his criterion is not problematic, given that he has criticized other criteria
However, the requirement of enrichment could be argued as well if enrichment came from knowledge and not profit. Lindquist certainly did have a reasonable expectation of being paid for these services and they were not doing this as any charitable act. Obviously Lindquist perceived the services that they were providing as a benefit to Middleton and Middleton assumed they would benefit. Craig Miller was a general manager of the successful organization, Lindquist Ford. So, it would lead you to believe that his presence at Middleton would be a benefit to that organization.
You can be honest without telling people exactly what you are thinking, because some things are better left unsaid. Trust / Reliability Trust is something I truly value in one´s character. I learned it the hard way that not everyone can be trusted and trust needs to be earned. Reliability is under the same category. In decision making one needs to have earned trust so the decision itself can be relied on.
To be effective the rewards must be desired by the target group e.g. financial inducements. * Legitimate power – generally known as authority and implies the power to act as well as the power over resources and is invariably limited in some way. * Expert power – which comes from possessing specialist knowledge and skills and is dependent on the expertise being recognised by those concerned, thus credibility is vital otherwise no one will take any notice. * Referent power – generally known as personal power or charisma and comes from the high regard the individual is held by others should this falter or wane then this form of power vanishes, but is often employed in conjunction with other sources.
The listener should say what they are feeling only if it is beneficial to the relationship or to the person seeking help. When a listener displays this quality of being genuine it is most likely the seeker will become congruent as they have probably spent along time denying their feelings or not been allowed to say what they are feeling, to be congruent is to take responsibility acknowledge your feelings beware of them, then start to deal with stuff. Unconditional positive regard is respecting the help seeker as a unique being or anyone for that matter, to my believe, accepting them for who they are, this does not mean we have to agree with peoples behaviour or agree to their believes, just to accept the person; is being non-judgemental. Along with the show of genuineness and unconditional positive regard from the listener the seeker will feel comfortable within themselves, develop trust in the relationship and begin to open up, explore and start to move forward. The third quality required within this relationship is to be able to Empathise this is not to be confused with sympathy or pity, which would be to show sorrow or sadness, this would not help the seeker to progress and move on.
Moore and WD Ross a fellow intuitionist agreed that pleasure, knowledge and virtue are all intrinsically good, and pain, ignorance and vice are intrinsically bad. However, they disagreed about our basic moral duties. Unlike Intuitionism, Emotivism does not purport the existence of objective moral facts, truths or duties. Instead it takes
According to hard determinism we are not free in the sense required for moral responsibility, and therefore, what happens cannot be affected by choices that are free in the sense. But what happens may nevertheless be caused by the decisions we chose and the choices we make. A reaction to hard determinism is that if it were true, we would have no reason to attempt to accomplish anything, to try and improve our lives because our decisions and choices would make no difference. If everything we do is pre determined then why try hard to achieve anything, if you are meant to do a certain something, it will happen, it is already determined for you, so the hard determinist would say. In the hard determinist’s judgement, this feeling of freedom is an illusion.
