Slaughterhouse Five was banned on political grounds for showing the American firebombing of Dresden in World War II. The destruction of 135,000 people (almost twice as destructive as the atomic bombing of Hiroshima) is something that I had never even heard of. Obviously, the US Army has done a good job in keeping it quiet. Teachers and administration claimed that the book displayed "un-Godliness, bathroom language, and an unpatriotic portrayal of war." I believe that the unpatriotic aspects of the war is the main reason the book was banned.
Changing Ethics in America Lucas Weber Alfred State College Fundamentals of Management BUAD 3153 01 Clifford McPeak February 21, 2012 Changing Ethics in America Ethics can be defined by Webster’s as “the discipline dealing with what is good and bad, with moral duty and obligation.” historically there has been vigorous discussion and opinion regarding the issue of ethics or the nature of good vs. evil , particularly whether ethical behavior is an in-born quality (you either have them or you don’t) that has evolved to ensure cooperation, reciprocity and survival of the species or if they are learned behaviors acquired from culture or society in which you are born. Almost 2500 years ago the great philosopher Socrates debated with his

From this Moore claimed that it is impossible to derive an ‘is from an ought’. This criticism became known as the naturalistic fallacy. In addition to this G.E Moore claimed that naturalism was not able to stand up to the open question argument. ethical naturalism claims to be based on moral facts, it would therefore seem logical that these facts should stand up to scrutiny. Yet, if we observe that pleasure is good, we should be able to ask is good pleasure.
The reason why is because during the On-to-Ottawa trek workers were unhappy with their critical conditions and when the workers leaders made it to the PM in Ottawa they got accused of being terrorists and communists. The second reason is that the terrorist group known as the FLQ used terrorism to try to attempt separatism during the October Crisis .The government imposed the war measures act which affected the citizens of Quebec. It is believed that other measures could have been used to resolve this problem. Finally the Parti Quebecois’s decision to pass bill 101 was unjustified to the English speaking Canadians.

However, this was not the case with the Iraq war. According to Christian Enemark and Christopher Michaelsen, “The cause of a state seeking to wage war is just if it appeals to a moral principle higher than mere self-interest” . They name three “primary just causes”, which are “pre-emptive self-defence [sic], humanitarian intervention and enforcement of the collective will” . The main focus here will be on self-defense and humanitarian intervention. One could argue that the coalition acted out of self-defense by pointing out the concern it had with Iraq producing weapons of
PHIL 2230 – Moral Philosophy The Views of Kant and Aristotle on Morality: the Categorical and Hypothetical Imperatives Immanuel Kant discusses in his Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals the idea of morality as abiding by moral laws – or categorical imperatives. An imperative is “the formula of the command”[1] which indicates to a will – who does not always obey – what is good to do, and what is good to refrain from doing. Kant divides imperatives into two categories; hypothetical and categorical. The hypothetical imperative says “only that an action is good for some purpose, either possible or actual”[2] and therefore an action is only good for its ends. However, the categorical imperative represents an action as “objectively necessary in itself”[3], with no end in mind.
Explain the concept of Relativist Morality. Moral Relativism is an ethical judgement. It is the claim that there is no ethical system better than another. It stems from the fact that to judge an ethical system, it must be judged by a moral standard. Since every ethical system should evaluate itself as the best and only moral system, and every other system is flawed and immoral, it is assumed that moral judgements about ethical systems are meaningless.
