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
Describe how the cognitive approach has been applied to RET The cognitive approach believes that we are information processors. Our thinking and the way we process and interpret events can affect our behaviour particularly our mood. Therefore rational emotional therapy is linked to the approach because its attempts to change the way an individual interprets and thinks about certain events. Ret was devised by albert ellis in the 1950’s. it tries to tackle mustabatory thinking (the thinking that you must be good at everything and like by everyone) by trying to make the patient think more rationally about situations.
These issues arise due to the question; if God is all knowing and all loving, should He not then stop suffering from happening? The subject of evil and suffering provides an inconsistency with the traditional image of God and His attributes. Someone whom acknowledged and illustrated this inconsistency is Hume, in the form of Hume’s inconsistent triad. With this Hume viewed God’s attributes; omnipotence and omni-benevolence, and that evil exists. Hume concluded that the three points are inconsistent.
Conservatives have a pessimistic view of human nature, some would even agree with Hobbes view that the desire for “power after power” is the primary human urge. Two we are intellectually imperfect conservatives traditionally believe that the world is simply too complicated for human reason to fully grasp this leads them to trust in tradition as it is “Tried and tested” and it also explains there argument for letting society grow organically as conservatives would prefer to trust in nature then our own rationality this contrasts with both socialism and liberalism. Finally they believe we are psychologically imperfect conservatives believe we are security seeking, we fear isolation and instability and desire the security and belonging of “knowing are place” this is used as the argument for conservatives supporting social order as they accept Hobbes theory of a “Social contract” that individuals are willing to sacrifice liberty for the cause of social order. It is clear that traditionally conservatives strongly believed in human imperfection but too what extent the different strands of conservatism support this core principle differs. Strands that believe in the Human imperfection completely are traditional conservatives, authoritarian conservatives and paternalistic
In actual fact they have neither. They cannot make a man wise or foolish…” (Crito 44d) This talks about what we as humans are truly and most harmed by, which is foolishness. By discussing these beliefs in such a manner as to question self-knowledge, Socrates assists the reader to set certain standards for how they live. One of the most important concerns that Socrates held was the fact that we are held back by bodily attachment because of the fact that we become obsessed with unimportant materialistic things rather than doing what we actually should be doing like cultivating our souls. “So long as we keep to the body and our soul is contaminated with this imperfection, there is no chance of our ever attaining satisfactorily to our object, which we assert to be Truth.” (Phaedo 66b) The human is so completely enslaved by their bodily needs that their sense of goodness and justice is off.
That there are far too many actions included in the realm of ‘beyond the control’ of the individual that it is impossible to place a moral stance upon them. And when we attempt to place the issues of moral luck into the situations, they become paradoxical when combined with common sense morals. This is a solid view of the opinions of a determinist, whether hard or soft. His conclusions would come down to 2 separate
Having Fun With Operational Definitions Adapted from teachpsychscience.org Directions: Identify and operationally define the independent and dependent variables in each of the following research ideas. Research Idea #1: A social psychologist was interested in whether people are more likely to exhibit conformity when they are in situations that make them feel nervous and unsure of themselves. What is the independent variable? How would you define it operationally? What is the dependent variable?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) challenges the patients negative thoughts and replaces them with constructive positive thinking which leads to healthier behaviour. People rarely realise that they have a problem with their thinking so this is the main thing that therapists work on - making the maladaptive thoughts conscious. The therapist should challenge these thoughts, once made obvious to the patient, which would lead to them understanding that there is no basis for them to think in a negative way - effectively making the problem disappear. CBT works by the therapist helping their client identify the negative thoughts they have about the word, themselves and the future. The client also learns what the consequences of these thoughts are/could be.
