G.E Moore begins by rejecting ethical naturalism, the belief that ethical knowledge is based on empirical evidence. ethical naturalism observes that physical properties such as rough, smooth can be discovered through observations in the world around us; in the same way moral properties such as wicked or kind can be defined through observation. Moore felt to define an ethical statement as a factual one, is to confuse goodness with some other non- moral property. For example, to describe a knife as good is to confuse the term good with the term sharp. From this Moore claimed that it is impossible to derive an ‘is from an ought’.
For example: A Service user cannot understand a menu when It is present in a list form , so we could help them make their choice by getting images of meals they would be presented with to eat. Also try to explain the importance of a healthy diet. If the dilemma was to be a reoccurrence or become a bigger issue at meal times, it would be a good idea to report it to the NIC or the service users case manager to then discuss other options available with the chef. 2. Each service user is different and they all like/ dislike different foods.
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
DEM 302 Understanding and meet the nutritional requirements of individuals with dementia. 1.1 Describe how cognitive, functional and emotional changes associated with dementia can affect eating. If the individuals cognitive ability is impaired they could forget to eat and drink, as well as think that they haven’t been fed, we might think they had a drink or eaten their food where as they might have tipped their drink down the sink or thrown their food away. If the functional ability changes it could mean that they can’t hold cutlery or hold a drink, therefore unable to feed themselves or feed themselves properly. When the emotional state changes they may become stressed and not want to eat or drink and may also forget that they need to
There is no absolute standard of right and wrong by which to compare and contrast morally conflicting cultural values. We cannot possibly understand the actions of other groups including their eating habits if we analyze them in terms of our own motives, and values. We must interpret their behavior in the light of their motives, and values if we are to understand them (Hunt, 2004). The theory of cultural relativism can be used to explain why the functionalist theory is applied to certain societies; the activities that they perform are done so because they are regarded as important and necessary according to the different values of each society. If we combine these two ideas, we are able to see that both the Functionalist and cultural relativist theories centered around the fact
i“Food Connection” In his essay, “Food Connections”, David Suzuki highlights the different ways food is produced and consumed through out the world, as well as the separation of man from the natural world. The major issues brought up include the ways people of first world nations have become desensitized to the natural origin of the products they consume, the loss of a sense of connection with the natural planet, and a stark comparison of markets in third world countries to that of ours. Eating is an everyday activity that we as humans engage in at least 3-4 times a day, and not including those dreaded late night cravings for cake and cold pizza. We live in a world where the variety of food that is readily available to us is staggering, to the point where one can enjoy a French breakfast and top it off with an English lunch; we have the world on our plate. We have become accustomed to a standard of perfection with how our food looks and tastes that we do not stop for a moment and think of where it comes from, its natural origin.
" DONT FORGET THE 1038!!!" One of my superiors, whom shall remain nameless asked me, "Why is the AF Form 1038 so important?" The AF Form 1038, Food Service Evaluation Record is a look into the Dining facilities operation. The form breaks down different aspects of the facility to include, Production Logs, Sanitation, and Management. But the form is not as simple as it seems.
First of all I would like to consider eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.Individuals have eating disorders when their lives revolves around food, for example, they plan their life around eating and not eating food. For instance, people with these disorders can overeat and under eat. Eating disorders are characterised by an abnormal attitude towards food, for example, individual can change their eating habits. One of the reasons why person is having the eating disorder could be that they may focus on their weight, shape and figure. It can make people eat not healthy food or under eat.
The inventory describes someone in the equity category as one who may “tend to base your perspective on ethics on a concern for the stability of knowledge the uncertainty of human judgment, and the lack of individuals who can truly qualify as experts in the discernment of what is right and what is wrong.” My score was -14 in this category. My values and ethics dictate that the severity of a right or wrong action is seldom determined on a situational basis. I follow the belief that serving food past the due date is bad practice. Some may argue that if the food is only past the due date by one day, serving the food is
For instance, losing energy, feeling sick, might faint. People usually lie to their body every day by eating stuff that they are not supposed to do is because they do not know what they are really eating. Some people do not really care what they are eating as long it’s delicious, they would accept it. As matter fact, people worry more about their daily task than eating appropriately. In his article,” In defense of food “: Michael Pollen established “what is food” and why do American’s eat nonfood in such large quantities?” Definitely, I’m agree about food labels do provide enough information for consumers to make an informed choice about what to feed their bodies.
