Athletes who use steroids to improve their performance don’t harm anyone else except themselves. Without steroids the game wouldn’t be that interesting and entertaining. However, using steroid will actually result into a one-sided game. According to Katz, Jeffrey “The use of performance enhancing drugs is not accidental it is planned and deliberate with the sole objective of getting an unfair advantage.” Athletes are trained to win and entertain the audiences. If one athlete uses blood-boosting drugs and the other one doesn’t, the game will go in favor of one using drugs because it will increase the chance of the athlete to win the game.
* Health risk Each of us have the right to be free, so why athletes does not have the right to take drugs, in fact taking drugs can help them to achieve their own goals. Even if they’re risking their lives it is still worth it. If we prohibit the people who are smoking and risking their lives, why do we have to forbid the athletes from taking drugs and risking their lives to pursue
Russell claims, lying is morally wrong, Carson believes in some cases it is preferable and Mazur states that different traditions advocate the lying in different circumstances. In brief, until and unless there is a question to save the life of an innocent person lying is morally wrong because, it diminishes trust, withholds the information that one might need, weakens our relationships, and above all it obliterates our honesty. Lying is a threat to the trust of liar. Trust is like a sticker one it got dispatched then it can never be pasted again perfectly. Similarly ones if the lying is mixed with trust then a threat against trust of any relation are produced.
One of the biggest ethical issues in sports today is performance enhancing drugs. In order for one to decide whether or not the use of performance enhancing drugs in sports is ethical or unethical, one must know the definition of ethics, sport, and performance enhancing drugs. Ethics is a branch of philosophy which seeks to address questions about morality; that is, about concepts such as good and bad, right and wrong, justice, and virtue. By definition sports are institutionalized competitive activities that involve rigorous physical exertion, or the use of relatively complex physical skills by participants motivated by internal and external rewards (Coakley 2008). Sports are supposed to teach ethics, honesty, health awareness, character, teamwork, and respect for rules and laws as well as respect for self and others.
The use of steroids is to try and gain an athletic edge. Steroids can cause a person to get bigger, stronger and faster but they will not give you skill or agility and technique. Many athletes abuse these drugs in order to boost their athletic performance but they may be doing so at a cost. Not only will the athlete be suspended or kicked out of their sport if they get caught, they also may be putting themselves at a serious health risk.
If a person really wants to protect one, they will tell the truth. If the protector doesn’t tell the truth, the ones who were protected will be lying the next time. So it shows that lying will not protect them for a long time. This is a cause and effect situation, if people lie to a person, majorly, they will lie again. In this case, I can see that lying to the soldiers are just an excuse for a moment, because they are just keeping the
The prevention of mind constricting drugs is in fact correct and must be enforced to maintain liberty for people. Mind constricting drugs such as opiates and amphetamines must be considered immoral. They only destroy self-control and freedom. The prevention of mind expanding drugs is false and unnecessarily infringe on people’s liberty. The correct use of mind expanding drugs can only lead to a better fulfillment of the human identity and a greater understanding of reality.
Objective means that I am not bringing in any personal opinions or bias, so the rules that I work out are rules that anybody else would rationally come up with. We may come to work out these rules by use of reason and so any rational human being would be able to use his/her reason to come up with the same set of rules. For example, using reason, work out that it is wrong to lie. An absolutist would think that it is therefore always wrong to lie, in any situation and in any culture. So it is just as wrong for me to lie about cheating on my boyfriend as it is to lie about the fact that Santa isn't real.
This is because there’s unfair advantage between athletes that uses performance enhancing drugs and athletes that doesn’t. The use of performance enhancers is cheating because disobeys constitutive rules of the activity therefore we should expect the disqualification of competitors who are caught doping as stated in Pro Con.Org (2015). Apart from that, if performance enhancing drugs are used in athletes, the level of fair play would most likely cease to exist. These drugs can increase ones’ physical ability to perform better in competitions and therefore there’s an increased chance of winning. Remember that athletes don’t take these drugs to level the playing field, they do it to get an advantage.
Security vs. Privacy We know that people want security in their in life but prefer their privacy, so when it comes down to it which is more important? We read how Bruce Schneier wanted the people to have privacy and how he knows that people don’t do anything but with constant surveillance the government will accuse you of something. As on the other hand we have Chris Cillizza who believes that privacy is important but it won’t keep you safe from foreign attacks. Also Cillizza shows that any type of information that the government finds suspicious will put people at risk. Honestly in this type of argument it comes down to the better facts rather than opinions and that’s why Cillizza makes the better argument.
