Furthermore, Hester knows that the sin she commits was wrong, but she chooses to feel no guilt for her actions. Keith Neilson supports this theory when he states: “She accepts the punishment, but does she ever express any real guilt or contrition over her act? Or does she simply accept it as a social punishment, not a moral condemnation?” (Neilson 271). Hester chooses to embrace the “A” which in return makes the negative meaning of the letter disappear. Since Hester accepts her punishment instead of denying it this results in Hester feeling no guilt for her past actions.
They refer to this minority as diseased or sick. The second group is the hysterical haters. The “hater” envies those who are able to act out on desires that he himself has to repress. The third group is narcissistic hate where unawareness of a group leads to contempt for them. Although Sullivan feels that this definition is not the final definition of hate, but it serves to better define the word and helps understand the true meaning behind the word.
Shame Analysis Dan M. Kahan argues in his piece “Shame Is worth a Try’ that shame should be used because “it’s an effective, cheap, and humane alternative to imprisonment” (574). If you are the kind of person who searches for articles with just emotional appeals, than look no further this is the article for you. When it comes to logical and ethnical appeals, Kahan falls short on the totem pole. He fails to prove his points because his examples are misused. He does not acknowledge that shaming sentences could also have effect on the offender’s family.
The ones that are against racial profiling have thought of an alternative solution, which is behavioral profiling. Behavioral profiling, hence the name, means to base the law enforcers' suspicion according to that person’s behavior instead of race. With this more effective system, it balances our protection from both terrorism and violating someone’s civil rights. One reasonable example on why we shouldn’t racial profile is the popular bomber in United Kingdom, Richard Reid, who doesn’t fit the profile that they have created for terrorists. Individuals have also made good arguments about the negative outcome that racial profiling might bring to our society.
Explicit is any form of a hate crime. Being implicit is the other form of prejudice. This is something that’s done unconsciously and it’s a nonverbal type of behavior. For example, a person feeling uncomfortable in the presence of someone other than their race. Stereotyping a person can lead to becoming prejudice.
Abstract This paper will attempt to explore two different viewpoints on the use of deception in human participants for social psychological experiments. The paper will compare and contrast two different articles that have conflicting views on the topic. Alan C. Elms, the author of a pro- deception article views deception as just, ethical, and even necessary tool of social psychology; however he does assert a very strong degree of caution, and care when implementing deception in an experimental design (1985). Opposite Elms, Diana Baumrind views deception as unethical and unfair to unsuspecting subjects who are unaware of such “trickery”. She debates that the harm done to the individual, society, and to the profession are at times irreversible or to great and outweigh possible benefit from the study.
Searching for justice in an unjustified district also brings distress to who is seeking for it. Justifying your actions for the good of yourself and the community also may bring along personal suffering. Justice is always achievable; it is the consequences which come with it that make it unbearable. One of the most
She goes on to quote sufferers who say that disbelief from those around them destroyed their self-esteem, belief in themselves and increased their guilt. This guilt led, at times, to bouts of overdoing it in an attempt either to fight off the illness or prove that they had it. It is significant therefore, that in the Chief Medical Officer’s Working Group Report on CFS/ME there is recognition of the ‘disbelief and prejudice against people affected by the condition’ (p7). As Action for ME comments “the report finally and totally dismisses the notion that CFS/ME is all in the mind” (p12). As can be seen, this is still not in accord with
I believe that this study was not ethical to conduct because it directly harmed another person just to get a statistic and a person would always get hurt based on the fact that human behavior follows normative influence almost every time. A reason for an ethics board to not approve a test like this one could be to just define ethics in itself, and use that explanation for your whole argument. Ethics is defined as a branch of philosophy dealing with values relating to human conduct, with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions (Dictionary.com, LLC. Copyright © 2009). This means that there are certain things you can and cannot do to a human being just to get results for a test.
I take her comments to heart as a personal attack that I’m either not feeding them enough or that I’m spoiling them too much. I feel it has a lot to do with my low self esteem on my part when it comes to being a parent or on any other topic that I feel insecure about. For others it can be that they are generally defensive all of the time and perceive negative judgments in anything said to them instead of on separate issues. Responding defensively happens when you have a bad perception of the person’s message; you perceived the person doesn’t like/ respect/ trust you and expresses it in their communication. (4) The downfall of responding defensively all of the time though may discourage others from being so honest with their remarks.
