As good as the images from the Western Christianity are mostly not defined as the "icons", even though "iconic" could be used to define a static style of devotional image.Mary, saints, angels, or the cross. Icons might be dramatis personae in metal, carved in stone, embroidered on cloth, painted on wood and many other things. Till now the obedience of the commandment id not to mark "graven images", Orthodox icons might certainly not be more than three-quarter of the bas
Presented in the argument above, the author claims that a new store should be built in Plainsville. The argument seems at first glance to be a reasonable decision. After a careful inspection, however, one will find that it suffers from several critical flaws as follows, rendering it logically unconvincing as it stands. The threshold flaw with the argument is that the author unfairly assumes residents in P (Plainsville) do highly concerned with leading healthy lives, upon which he finally draws his conclusion. Although the author offers several facts, which seems to be compelling to substantiate his conclusion, these facts actually lend little credence to the author’s claim after close scrutiny.
Simpler questions would be “Is Dr. Smith’s intentional practise of omitting important information relevant to his client’s treatment ethical?” or “Is Dr. Smith’s failure to report his client’s actions to the authorities morally justifiable?” Both would be good questions, but I believe the question the study guide asks us to consider embrace both of these questions. The possible answers to the question are “yes” or “no”. I will be using rule-based utilitarianism and Kantian deontology to analyse this case study. There is not enough information to consider act-based utilitarianism: Act-based utilitarianism essentially says that one should perform that act which will bring about the greatest amount of good (“happiness”) over bad for everyone affected by the act. Each situation and each person must be assessed on their own merits (Thiroux, 2004, p. 42).
This was followed by a second Exposure Draft ED 199 Measurement that expound on Uncertainty Analysis Disclosure for Fair Value Measurements (Limited re-exposure of proposed disclosure). This subsequent submissions received on ED 181 were generally supportive of the objective of the AASB project. However, there was limited support for the proposals in ED 199. General comments received on the exposure draft is accommodated AASB 13. It is important to recognize the regulation impact statement that is not prepared in connection with the issuance of AASB 13 as the amendments made are minor in nature.
Rewilding is a tricky method for conservation because it is hard to distinguish between theory and practice. Caroline Fraser tries to connect the two into a realistic idea in her second book Rewilding the World. Specifically, an excerpt from the book called, Rewilding North America, looks at the possibilities of joining theory and practice into a concrete idea to help restore the environment. Theory is defined as “a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact” (“Theory” def.2). This is simplified to an idea that hasn’t been proven that contrasts to factual evidence.
It also appears, however, to be a very fine line between preventing an illegal kick-back and disrupting a legitimate fee for a necessary service by an authorized professional. While it is important to discourage the former, some feel that expanding on the already broad statute for the purpose of sealing a few loopholes might accomplish more of the latter. “Because the law is broad on its face, concerns have already arose among health care providers that some relatively innocuous, and in some cases even beneficial, commercial arrangements are currently prohibited by the anti-kickback law” (Office of Inspector General, 1999). It is for these reasons that after careful consideration of all of the various resource materials used to complete this study, I must conclude that although the potential to exploit the healthcare system in the aforementioned manner still exists, the risk/reward balance has been tipped in the favor of integrity since the advent of anti-kickback
This does not only debunk the claims of critics but it strengthens the argument that hydraulic fracking is worth it. Although those claims have been debunked the critics are not without reason to worry about government helping energy companies. Many federal laws have exemptions for hydraulic fracturing. Such laws are “Safe Drinking Water Act (1974), Clean Water Act (1972), Clean Air Act (1970)” (Rosenberg 77) The Safe Drinking Water Act “Protects the quality of drinking water and regulates the injection of waste into drinking water, both above- and belowground” (Rosenberg 77), yet the exemption for hydraulic fracking was “The Energy Policy Act of 2005 exempted hydraulic fracturing from the definition of "underground injection" under the Act unless the fracking fluid contains diesel fuel” (Rosenberg 77). This means that energy companies can have water-injection wells as long as the water does not have diesel fuel.
“Green Energy Future with Fracking!” The United States should not include hydraulic fracturing as a part of their energy future because of environmental risks. Hydraulic fracturing is a new drilling technique that extracts hard to reach oil or gas from shale-rock (Whitten & Beinecke, 2013). Proponents of hydraulic fracturing argue that this process is not harmful to environment. Although some studies have shown that hydraulic fracturing may be safer than traditional oil drilling techniques, this new drilling technique poses danger to environment (Inglesby & Jenks & Nquist & Pinner, 2012). In fact, hydraulic fracturing causes air pollution.
The Oil Spills Protocol consists of eleven articles total. In regards to the obligation element, I would argue that the Oil Spills Protocol is low to medium in obligation. I have come to this conclusion based on the fact that none of the nation states are legally bound to do anything. Moreover, the language used in the protocol does not seem to strongly indicate that any of the nation states have a legal responsibility to abide by the articles listed in the protocol. Furthermore, based on certain soft keywords used throughout the articles such as “shall” and “within their capabilities” indicate that this element is low to medium in obligation.
How should the UN be reformed to promote international peace and stability It is true that the United Nations can claim victory to many past notable achievements. Despite this there are numerous critics of the organization who have asserted that the UN's salient purpose of maintaining of international peace and security is gradually being lessened. Accordingly, many of the afore said achievements are being obscured by the overwhelming sentiment that the United Nations is an ineffective institution, that is of little use to the international community, moreover to the 21st century. For the United Nations to survive it must ensure that its future existence narrowly depends upon the underpinning of a durable peace, and for this to occur, the UN must change. This discussion will attempt to propose reforms that are consistent with aim the promoting of international peace and security, and through such reforms, enhance these objectives.
