Relativism Relativism The article of “Some Moral Minima” written by Lenn Goodman, discusses issues in our society he believes to be truly unethical and wrong. Some cultures believe the things mentioned by Goodman to be ethical and acceptable in their culture because it is they way they way have been doing things for many years. Some points discussed by Goodman are genocide, terrorism, and rape. The first example from Goodman is genocide, the murdering or extermination of an entire race or culture. Mass murder is compared to genocide and an example would be when nations or groups are at war with each other.
One of their major goals was to disrupt and destroy the South Vietnamese government. Orders were actually given to the invaders to cause maximum disruption to the government to create crisis by killing military and administrative personnel. This reason alone would do some serious damage to the government but another tactic was to kill for “…terrorism and warning.” By killing government officials and private citizens it scared the citizens of not just Hue but all over the area into compliance with the National Liberation Front. The communists also wanted to annihilate Christians for political reasons. The communists always tried to suppress religions anyway possible and because of Ngo Dinh Diem being Catholic and in charge of South Vietnam at the start of the resistance to the North.
He was caught and defined as one of the conspirators. Where plebeians found him to be a conspirator not a writer who he admitted he was. His Flaw was saying his name after he was mentioned to be one of the conspirators and he gets taken away by the plebeians. “” I am Cinna the poet not cinna the conspirator””. (3.3 29+32) The fatal flaw of the third conspirator, Cassius is that he is scared of what will happen to him after he murdered Caesar.
While assuming JIB to be true, Shelton wages war on the government and by extension those who support it. He views this as a last resort, since he watched all the other non-violent options fail him. Thus this war can be justified. Shelton is justified in his actions because he is redressing a wrong suffered, and his intentions are to rid the corruptness from the judicial system. The people that Shelton killed are considered combatants because they support they governmental system and work with it.
Just as the scientists do, these people fid ways to trap there people into lacking a lot of things a good person would have. The violence in Winston’s world I caused by very controlling people who likes power and turns it into evil. The war with Eurasia and the killing of the people, the banishment of the population once things are being done wrong or someone doing something against regulations. This act is like a flip in the script, once the people in the population does something out of bound, it’s like they are being evil, when it’s really the other way
And these are attacks that people will forever remember. They were invasive and lethal and the mission that they were going for went all the way through. Because it made the people panic and made them lose their trust to be in the society and with their government. 9/11 was a terrorist
The real challenge to bin Laden and al-Qaeda, and its medieval, terror-laden theology, has come not from the West’s war on terror but from the Arab Spring, from the revolts that have shaken the region from Tunisia to Egypt to Yemen to Syria. The desire of the peoples across the Arab world for democratic change has not only humbled autocrats, it has also marginalized the jihadists who have played no part in the popular movements. These uprisings, and the hope that they engender, will transform the world far more than will bin Laden’s
Today, people suffer around the world with random acts of murder and violence by terrorists; who want to kill all people who do not join in their one group with fanatical ideals about Islam and suppressing women. These examples from real life history are enough proof for me to agree that through dystopias, authors are telling us that the idea of creating perfect societies is actually an act of abuse that creates monsters who disguise themselves as leaders. The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number of People A dystopian society is unpleasant and is made up of people who are repressed and have no rights to their own opinions and choices of life styles, like hair, clothing, religion, going to school and sometimes even driving a car. For example, in the Twilight Zone film, Number 12 Looks Just Like You, a young girl was being told that she had to choose between being transformed into Number 8 or Number 12 of styles of beautiful women. She had no choice, because she was going to be transformed into one of these two, through plastic surgery; even though she said she did not want a new body, new face, new hair or new
Nowadays when one sees a Muslim or someone who looks like a Muslim, that person is automatically deemed as either being dangerous or a terrorist. This fact comes to tell how far the world has come to. The 9/11 attacks changed the people’s perspective upon Muslims and now the stereotype is that all Muslims are bad and that they are all terrorists looking to kill innocent Americans. The next reason as to why the attacks were a success was due to the support that al-Qaeda got from different organizations and countries. They got financial support from countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Syria.
Terrorists are extremists who believe that they are supposed to hurt a certain group of people because their god or someone that they obey and respect told them that this is the right thing to do because that group is a possible threat to themselves or their religion so they want to take them out before the people group can hurt them. There are also more reasons why terrorists attack but this is one of the main reasons. Since 9/11 has happened, these beliefs and practices have not stopped or disappeared. If anything they have strengthened and become more dangerous than they were before. Since this is a great possibility, terrorist extremists may have become more extreme in their tactic than they were before 9/11 happened.
