Perhaps more so than Emotivists, Prescriptivists see ethical language as fairly meaningful. They believe that the terms used are able to create absolute rules that everyone ought to follow. It would seem that ethical language is seen by many as very meaningful, although for varying reasons.

In the vigilantism cases, although we could all relate to the frustration involved for the actors, we all agree that one must stay within the bounds of the law to seek out justice. The next discussion involved civil disobedience and we found that we agreed that civil disobedience has been helpful historically to help change the laws and improve our society. However, the general consensus on civil disobedience was also that the acts of disobedience must be done in a peaceful manner for the acts to be effective. The final acts of crimes among professionals had another anonymous decision. Our team found that we did not agree with those professionals who chose to commit crimes.
A good example of this is at work if there is a situation at work and you have to resolve it this person looks into different points of view and will do what it’s best for both. It’s a very fair person. They want everybody’s satisfaction. The weakness of being under Result Lens is that you need to learn to reflect on your actions, because if you don’t learn it you will fail in your decisions and your life.

Morals of life As Winston Churchill puts it, “A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.” People show their true colors when they are under the pressure of life some excel in it others crumble to the ground. Morals are the basis of life as a human being as Churchill said we are cold, heartless people if we do not possess such morals. Everyone should learn where things stand, when to stop and when not to not anything at all to just walk away.

Life is full of dangerous challenges and advantages, but depending on how we deal with them is what makes us good or bad people.

I don’t think he is a good man just because he trying to fix what he did, but the thing is that what has happened, happened and you can’t change that. Yes he is trying fixing it but I wouldn’t call him a good man because of his actions. The actions are what make the people either good people or bad people. In Antigone there are both bad and good people. In Teirsias’s mind he would probably say they were all good people because when they did something wrong they tried to fix it.
