...Power of Justice in Macbeth: A balanced connection between one’s actions and thoughts. William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth examines the theme of just actions through the character named Macduff. In the play, Macduff sees it as his duty to bring peace to the country of Scotland. In order to so, Macduff always observes, and thinks before he acts. As a result, when Macduff makes a final decision, he acts upon it without hesitation. Lastly, Macduff is willing to sacrifice everything to save his land. Unfortunately, Macduff is the only character in the play to act in such a fashion. Showing that throughout the play Macbeth, only Macduff demonstrates truly just actions. Firstly, Macduff’s actions are always lawful and valid because he observes and thinks before he acts. When everyone searches for the guards to confront them only to find them dead, Macduff confronts Macbeth by asking, “Wherefore did you so?” (II.iii.114) Macduff is the first one to question Macbeth’s reasoning behind killing the drunken guards. Even though Macduff is quite suspicious of the events that lead to the death of King Duncan, he does not jump right into the scene. Macduff observes and ask questions about what has happened during the turn of events. The same thing happens again when Macduff questions Malcolm and his loyalty: “Such welcome and unwelcome this at once, ‘Tis hard to reconcile.” (IV.iii.138-139) Macduff shows his ability to make accurate decisions by not jumping too quickly into this alliance...

...out to avenge and restore their family honour. The contrast of Hamlet and Laertes’ initial reactions to their fathers’ death, their journey of revenge and their actions taken to restore family honour are two very different paths. Prince Hamlet, the protagonist of the works, is portrayed as a very sensitive and intelligent character. It is clear that his mother Queen Gertrude and Uncle Claudius, now King, do not share his open grief of his fathers’ death. By marrying the queen and taking the throne for himself Claudius has quickly taken full advantage of his brothers’ death, and, with Gertrude closely by his side, states that Hamlet is “sweet and commendable in your [his] nature” (1.2.87) to still be mourning his fathers’ death. This declaration immediately shows a separation of family values and loyalties between Claudius, Gertrude and Hamlet. By staying silent, Gertrude is in full support of her new husbands’ statement, leaving Hamlet isolated and detached from his mother and uncle. Feeling alone and betrayed, Hamlet feels his mother and uncle are treacherous and disloyal. His anger is shown towards the end of his first soliloquay “She married. O most wicked speed, to post/With such dexterity to incestuous sheets:” (1.2.56-57). This shows Hamlets’ revulsion to his mother and uncles’ behaviour so soon after his father’s sudden, unexpected death, separating the characters directions and thoughts yet further. Hamlet swears to avenge his father’s death, but, before taking action...

...1 The Inner World of a Future Mental Health Counselor 2 Welcome, you are about to embark on a journey into my inner world. Along the way, you will discover the following: (1) what in my background helps me to think through and identify what is right and wrong, as well as what constitutes ethical professional behavior; (2) my ethical decision-making style. My unique style of ethical decision making which reflects my early and ongoing experiences with moral values and issues which has been influenced and shaped by my parents, relatives, peers and valued adults in my life such as teachers and mentors; (3) individuals that have most impressed me and serves as a role model for me; (4) and my current developmental status and how it has and will likely impact my work as a counselor. I therefore invite you to dive into my world and may your life never be the same. Growing up in a Christian environment, I was raised to have my “…perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong.” (Hebrews 5:14) In short, I received moral values made up of strongly held beliefs based on the Bible, along with a conduct that conforms to those beliefs. Early on, as an adolescent, I began to take a close look at the Holy Scriptures and have come to appreciate that Bible’s counsel is based on...

...Independence of judiciary means a fair and neutral judicial system which can afford to take its decision without any interference of executive or legislative organ of the government. The concept of separation of judiciary from the executive refers to a situation in which the judicial branch of the government acts as its own body free from intervention and influence from the other branches of the government particularly the executive. If the same individual assumes the functions of both executive and judiciary the necessary check and balance disappears and rights of the citizen are not adequately protected. Separation of judiciary from the executive universally ensures the independence of judiciary and safeguards the rights of the people. The question of separation of judiciary from executive is not new in our country. In fact, demand for separation of judiciary from executive had been a part of the movement for democracy itself and its implementation was part of the election pledges of both the major political parties. Article 22 of our constitution says, “The state shall ensure the separation of the Judiciary from the Executive organ of the state”. Separation of judiciary is included in Part II of our Constitution, i.e. the fundamental principles of the state policy; and Part V of the Constitution deals with the judiciary. But unfortunately no government since 1972 when the constitution was framed ever took steps to effect the separation. Finally in 1999 while delivering historic...

...REGULATION FOR CONSERVATIVES: BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS AND THE CASE FOR “ASYMMETRIC PATERNALISM” COLIN CAMERER, SAMUEL ISSACHAROFF, GEORGE LOEWENSTEIN, † TED O’DONOGHUE, AND MATTHEW RABIN INTRODUCTION Regulation by the state can take a variety of forms. Some regulations are aimed entirely at redistribution, such as when we tax the rich and give to the poor. Other regulations seek to counteract externalities by restricting behavior in a way that imposes harm on an individual basis but yields net societal benefits. A good example is taxation to fund public goods such as roads. In such situations, an individual would be better off if she alone were exempt from the tax; she benefits when everyone (including herself) must pay the tax. In this paper, we are concerned with a third form of regulation: paternalistic regulations that are designed to help on an individual basis. Paternalism treads on consumer sovereignty by forcing, or preventing, choices for the individual’s own good, much as when parents limit their child’s freedom to skip school or eat candy for dinner. Recent research in behavioral economics has identified a variety of decision-making errors that may expand the scope of paternalistic regula- Professor Camerer is the Rea and Lela Axline Professor of Business Economics, California Institute of Technology; Professor Issacharoff is the Harold R.

...UNIT ONE INTRODUCTION TO CIVIC AND ETHICAL EDUCATION 1. INTRODUCTION 2. MEANINGS OF CIVICS AND ETHICAL EDUCATION The Notion of Civics The subject field of civics originates from the nature of human being itself i.e. from the natural behavior and level of interaction of human beings it self. One basic nature of human beings related with this statement is the fact that “man is a social animal” whose life is closely related to each other. Almost all instincts, demands and progresses of human beings are fulfilled in society. The superiority that human beings try to achieve over nature and other living things is the result of the social bond among human beings. If such bond is a requirement for the survival of human beings, then what should be the pattern of social interaction that exist among human beings is closely related with the subject matter of civics. In this regard civics is considered as a subject field which is mainly concerned with teaching citizens as to how they can live harmonious and peaceful life with other citizens and as to how they can resolve conflicts peacefully among them selves. The other basic nature of human being is the political view of philosophy by Plato that, “Man is a political animal”, which means no human being can escape from the deeds of politics and its dayto-day life is either directly or indirectly affected by it. For this reason human beings have to know the workings of politics, institutions that affect their day to day life, norms, principles...

...September 2012 A startup is a company designed to grow fast. Being newly founded does not in itself make a company a startup. Nor is it necessary for a startup to work on technology, or take venture funding, or have some sort of "exit." The only essential thing is growth. Everything else we associate with startups follows from growth. If you want to start one it's important to understand that. Startups are so hard that you can't be pointed off to the side and hope to succeed. You have to know that growth is what you're after. The good news is, if you get growth, everything else tends to fall into place. Which means you can use growth like a compass to make almost every decision you face. Redwoods Let's start with a distinction that should be obvious but is often overlooked: not every newly founded company is a startup. Millions of companies are started every year in the US. Only a tiny fraction are startups. Most are service businesses—restaurants, barbershops, plumbers, and so on. These are not startups, except in a few unusual cases. A barbershop isn't designed to grow fast. Whereas a search engine, for example, is. When I say startups are designed to grow fast, I mean it in two senses. Partly I mean designed in the sense of intended, because most startups fail. But I also mean startups are different by nature, in the same way a redwood seedling has a different destiny from a bean sprout. That difference is why there's a distinct word, "startup," for companies...

The First Interim Report The first Interim Report of the Task Force appointed by the Bharatiya Janata Party was released to the public on 17-04-2009. Afterward different world governments, particularly those in the West, have increasingly begun targeting tax havens and intensely began pursuing black money. The US, and France particularly began a huge campaign against the evil of black money. The estimates black money lodged in tax havens by global financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund reached as high as $18 trillion. The instability in the global financial order itself was traced to the evil money. So the issue has now acquired a totally different dimension. In the first Interim Report, the Task Force had suggested broad national and global strategy for dealing with the menace of black money out of the country. The substance of the recommendations of the Task Force in the First Interim Report is summarized here: Global Strategy: • Creating a powerful public opinion and broad national consensus on the issue.
