When the men were hung, Mr. Davies thought he had failed at his responsibility and was a poor leader. Mr. Tetley believed the three men were guilty and he convinced most of the people to believe they were guilty. Mr. Davies has a very strong argument but I, personally, cannot agree with it. He did the most he could to protect their lives. If he had shared Martin’s letter to his wife, the men would not have been hung, but Martin asked Mr. Davies to keep the letter private and he respected Martin’s request.
To forget would be unmoral, insincere, and selfish. “Every human being has his burden to bear,” (Speer 246). Karl chose his actions and must now bear the burden of what he did and never forget his horrible actions. I believe when Karl asks forgiveness he tried placing his burden on Simon so he would be able to forget and die peacefully. Karl showed no sincerity in his actions and choices.
In Noah’s reasoning, if Lucius dies, Ivy will forget about him and be forced to move on, but is not the case. Noah does not realize that if Lucius dies and he is the cause, Ivy would never forgive him. Noah was also upset that Lucius had what Noah wanted, and attempted to kill him out of
What Proctor means by this that no man would blacken his own name without having a reason for doing so. He would not say that he has committed a sin if it was not unfortunately true. Proctor obviously knows that his wife is innocent and that he is the one that has sinned. He is sacrificing his name and life for the innocence of his wife. He wants to save his wife, but he also does not want his named
Also that if events such as, seas getting dried up were to happen everyday they wouldn’t be a miracle. Wiles has also said that believing in miracles could be wrong, as if they were done by God then he could have stopped major tragedies, e.g. Auschwitz and Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In these examples it limits God and he is seen as not being omnibenevolent. However, in the New Testament God heals and individual who is blind and lets others die.
Even though his own brother committed the sin, he knew it was wrong no matter who it was: "Maybe a jury will cut him loose. I wont. By god I wont” (143). Knowing most of Wes’s family is against the fact that Frank should not be punished; Wes puts his emotional feelings aside and grows up. Just by one fault by the closest man in his life, Wes realizes he has changed in better ways as things have gotten more complicated: “ My father stood for moral absolution ” (144).
DID HE HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE? In ma opinion I would say this is a grey situation meaning that it’s not black and it’s not white its in the middle, basically it’s a 2 sided case. I would start off by saying lennie had no right to act as God in taking his best friend’s life just because he made a mistake, God is the giver and taker of life so George had no right to take lennie’s life. There are many other ways in which George could have dealt with lennie for instance he could have taken lennie to the police, if he could have killed someone like a brother to him just like that then obviously he could have easily taken him 2 the police station and left him there to be taken care of. He could have easily told the police men what was wrong
Again consent falls into play. If Parker had willingly given up his body to save the other three men, would it then be okay? In truth, all three did what they needed to do to survive; they chose to kill one and save three. This decision was made for the good of the others, but very selfish and immoral. Although Parker was the obvious choice because of being ill and having no family, he was young and had an entire life ahead of him, and most importantly, did not give consent to the others to sacrifice himself.
While Socrates arguments may be sound in his opinion, I'm not sure if I agree with them. Just because of the good laws of the state benefited Socrates and helped him in his upbringing, it doesn't mean that he has to remain completely loyal to them for his entire life. His main point about never returning an unjust act with another makes sense to a degree, but only if you agree with his view that the soul is the only thing that matters and not the body. While I understand that point, I don' think every unjust act ruins the soul. Some acts such as telling a white lie in some situations are
He feels that Dora made the right choices in her situation. As for Bob, Singer doesn’t believe that he made the best decision and feels that he should be punished for his actions. Singer thinks that the actions of both Bob and Dora are the same as the result of people in this world not donating money to help needy children. Singer states how easy it is to help a child by donating, yet so many people turn the other cheek and only think of themselves. According to Singer, it takes only $200 to save a child's life, and yet so many people are able but not willing to donate.
