...usually behave differently depending on different factors that have a contribution to their behaviours, be it good or bad. There are those who show much attention in class and are much focused on their studies. They usually show better performance in their class work as well as in the overall results of the exams done at the end of each semester. These students portraying good behaviours are always neatly dressed in clean and decent clothes. They arrive in class earlier than the scheduled time for the lessons and are ready to learn new ideas from the teachers. In case of late arrival n class the students has sensible reasons for lateness which he or she presents to the teacher in a humble way. The students are calm and tried as much as possible not to engage in indiscipline acts. In case of a fight or quarrel between them and other students, they opt for reconciliation instead of fighting back. They therefore tend to live a moral life with a very strong Christian foundation emulating the life of Christ (Lambert 1997). The other group of students portrays a different kind of behaviour from the one explained above. They are usually cunning and tend to engage in fight and quarrels with other students. They have a tendency of missing classes as the teacher sends them out of class due to their ill mannered behaviours. These behaviours include lateness to class without any good reasons and when asked for lateness they are arrogant to the teachers to an extent of fighting the teachers...

...ubyuhb hu b Under this form of ethics you can't justify an action by showing that it produced good consequences, which is why it's sometimes called 'non-Consequentialist'. The word 'deontological' comes from the Greek word deon, which means 'duty'. Duty-based ethics are usually what people are talking about when they refer to 'the principle of the thing'. Duty-based ethics teaches that some acts are right or wrong because of the sorts of things they are, and people have a duty to act accordingly, regardless of the good or bad consequences that may be produced. Some kinds of action are wrong or right in themselves, regardless of the consequences. Deontologists live in a universe of moral rules, such as: It is wrong to kill innocent people It is wrong to steal It is wrong to tell lies It is right to keep promises Someone who follows Duty-based ethics should do the right thing, even if that produces more harm (or less good) than doing the wrong thing: People have a duty to do the right thing, even if it produces a bad result. So, for example, the philosopher Kant thought that it would be wrong to tell a lie in order to save a friend from a murderer. If we compare Deontologists with Consequentialists we can see that Consequentialists begin by considering what things are good, and identify 'right' actions as the ones that produce the maximum of those good things. Deontologists appear to do it the other way around; they first consider what actions are...

...One may naturally assume that all people desire good things in their lives. By doing good, being good, or attempting to do what is right, people feel good about themselves and receive happiness from their actions or choices. This is in alignment with Socrates’ desire example where he claims that all people desire good things. However, not everyone is satisfied by seeking out good things for themselves. Some people enjoy doing bad things as they attempt to create power, chaos, or anarchy which, in turn, makes them happy and keeps them entertained. Specifically, movie characters such as the Joker from The Dark Knight, the “Other Mother” from Coraline, Dr. Evil from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and Professor Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes:...

...Define what "good" means to you. Being good does not mean only by outer goodness . You have to consider being good straight from the heart i.e purely . Ultimately, you have to decide on your own code of ethics, and what matters is that you follow through with what you believe makes you a good person. At times, this may conflict with what others believe is good, and they might even accuse you of being wrong or evil. Consider their views-either they know something you don't, in which case you may learn something from them and update your morality, or perhaps their experience is limited, meaning that you should take their views with a grain of salt. Ad Be Good Step 2.jpg 2Be good for its own sake. Don't try to be a good person because your parents told you to, because you want recognition or respect, or for any kind of reward except your own satisfaction in doing what you believe is good. Never act superior to anyone else or brag about your "goodness" or "righteousness". Your dedication to a particular creed, ideology, or set of guidelines does not make you better than anyone else. Do what you believe makes you a good person on your own terms, and remember that it's an individual journey-everyone's path is unique. Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.[1] Be Good Step 3.jpg 3Be proactive. It's tempting to infer that as long as you avoid doing the things you know are bad (stealing, badmouthing, lying, intentionally saying hurtful things, etc.), then that means you...

...Are people basically good? Are people basically bad? These questions have been ask constantly by us, we want to know what we are. But we are not basically good people we have done so much terrible things to our world and to our own people throughout man-kind. From the start we have done wrong in Genesis 2:6 in the bible God created man, after then man was created he had created woman by taking a rib from the man and making them almost as one. They were to eat, sleep and live together on earth, life was great until they sinned against God and they ate the apple off of the tree he prohibited. And from that point man has been a sinful animal throughout all of history. Throughout history we have thought what we were doing at the time was right, from having slaves to killing our tress today. But despite the many bad things, we have many good things also but it does not overcome the other one just yet. As a student in school when learning history all I have heard was what terrible things leaders have done, what we did to people...

...Implementer: This means that this character is well organised. This is a good thing because it means that they are able to keep track of what’s been done, what needs doing etc. They take very basic ideas, and they convert them into tasks. This is good because if there wasn’t someone like this, then the team would not have a high productivity because they wouldn’t know how to change ideas into actions. Sometimes they can be slower than others, this would be a problem in a fast paced activity. Shaper: This means that they have a lot of energy when doing a task. This is a good thing because it makes other people in the team want to move forward and to do well. This means that the task will be done quicker as more people will be getting involved with the task. They can sometimes be insensitive. This means that they show or feel no concern for other people’s feelings. This is a bad thing because people in the team could get offended by a comment and it could cause friction in the group. Completer/Finisher: This means that they always see things through to the end of the task. They make sure that everything is working well and making sure that everything’s right. This is a good thing because it means that if anything is going wrong, then they can identify it and make it right. A bad thing about this role, is that they can worry too much about the task and they may not trust other people in the team. This is bad because trust level will be low, and communication will not be high. Plant:...

...In high school many students experience a lot of good and bad things in whatever they do daily. Whether they choose to do it or not is another thing on themselves but, do they really understand the wrong or correct in what they’re actually doing? I believe Lord Of The Flies should be read in high school to teach classmates that their is good and evil in this world and that book can describe the horror in how people's actions or emotions change the face of a person. Do you ever ask yourself, is what I’m doing good or a bad thing? But we proceed to do it whether it is or not because it's either fun or different change in the mindset. Seeing all these criminals on TV and the news of the wrong they’re doing which is violence but yet do you see...

I am against cloning because it is bad to clone people or animals it is the worst thing you can do. Cloning is bad because it can affect to your health. Even though you might think it's fun to clone yourself or what ever, well it's not because your doing a bad to yourself. It may be fun but it wouldn't be fun when something comes bad of that clone. Cloning would devalue children and treat them as commodities (Anna G.C). It would radically after what it means to be a human- we would lose something vital to the uniqueness of humanity.

...My access When I begin to think about community service I think that what good I can do for others. I have always loved helping anyone out in any way. If I had to think of a community service in order to graduate I would pick anything. It wouldn't matter which one I picked and these are my reasons why. To begin, my whole life my family have taught me that I need to learn how I can be helpful to others. My church has taught me as well, we do service for other without them telling us they need help. My church would go around see anyone who may need help with raking their leaves or help putting things away. With no cost to it. I loved to help people out because it makes me feel better about myself. It helps me become closer to others. The...

...parents with the reminder that I should love God and be thankful for him. They taught me to obey and respect other people. They taught me to be a good person. As I was growing older, I began to commit sins like disobeying my parents, saying and doing bad things to other people. I also started not to attend Sunday Mass and at that point I’m beginning to feel awful as a person. I feel bad for the things I’ve done. Thus, I remembered what my teacher said when I was in elementary, “Confess and repent.” I admit that I’m going in the wrong direction and I’m willing to face my sins and the consequences for it. So as one of the message of John the Baptist, I’m ready for repentance. I want to go back to God who I am ultimately belong. I will change to be a better person and I will avoid doing the things that I’ve done before. I will obey my parents again. I will say sorry to the people I’ve hurt. And lastly, I want to attend Sunday Mass and “isabuhay” the teachings of the Church. I want to confess everything I’ve done and I want to ask for forgiveness. I am sincere that I want to go back to God. I want to rebuild my relationship to him. Thus, I’m willing to be generous to other people especially to the poor to make them feel that they are special in their own ways. I want my actions to be all natural and I want them to feel that I’m sincere of doing things in my life. I often heard the saying “Honesty is the best policy!”. So, I want to practice honesty to other people, to myself, and to...

...in a modern world conquered by wrong doings. Why, we tend to ask. What encourages individuals to move towards evil doing? Isn’t self-restraint a sufficient obstacle in the pursuit of evil? One of the many questions which strike us when we are surrounded by injustices is whether it is the wrong individuals or the collective society which drives those particular evil doings. In a sociocultural context, this may be a very subjective question due to the lack of universality in the definition of ‘bad’ in itself. Philosophers, and more recently psychologists, have studied intellectual and neurological causes of wrong actions in search for an answer to the concerned question. One of the very first philosophers who manifested concern for our ethical and moral nature was Socrates. Born in Athens in 460BC, his fundamental interest in philosophy was purely ethical. He is said to be the founder of moral philosophy, answering questions related to right or wrong and how one should live. He believed that answers to questions as such had a profound effect on how one lives. Socrates was considered a moral optimist. The philosophy holds that man is inherently good. Quoting a philosophy paper issued by the University of Uyo, moral optimism employs the reasoning that “if anything contrary to goodness occurs, then something must have gone wrong somewhere and it will be wise to situate it in a context. But without this external influence, man is naturally good and this should be taken at face value...

...Alexis Hayden Dietmar Krumrey Eng 101 11 September 2014 Human Response to Authority The phrase ‘don’t tell me what to do’ is one of the first negative responses that we learn as kids. For example, when a person’s brother or sister tries forcing a task out of him or her, the response is usually similar to that. However, what if that reaction is not learned, but merely a natural response to authority? In the podcast ‘The Bad Show’, they explore that very question with experiments and found that humans do not take to authority unless their mind trusts and respects where the authority comes from. Humans will obey authority only if they can justify the commands given. In the 1960’s, Stanley Milgram was interested in human response to authority. His interest was piqued when war criminal Adolf Eichmann stated on trial that he was simply “following orders” when he ordered the death of millions of Jews. The idea made Milgram wonder if humans were obedient to major authority or if people used authority to justify doing bad things. He conducted an experiment where he collected 40 participants ranging from every end of the social spectrum. He put each individual in a room where they were asked to shock another person whom they called the ‘student’, every time that he or she got an answer wrong. One of the things they found in the experiment was that the participants continuously shocked the students, simply because they were told to do so (Cherry, “The Milgram Obedience Experiment”)...

There’s so many points but from losing my uncle to being here in ITT- Tech. I made it so far and yet I have a long way to go. My uncle was there for me back when I was in middle school. I always had my dad but he was always working. So I would hang out with my uncle which was like an older brother to me. He taught me everything I know on how to survive in the streets, so he called it. I looked up to him so much that I wanted to be bad just like him. So eventually I started doing drugs at the age of twelve. I’m ashamed of what I did but that’s life, you learn from your mistakes. That’s when my spiral of bad luck started to happen.
