...Indian male much more ferocious towards sex or woman. In an experiment carried out by renowned Psychologist Neil Malamuth and David Buss in 1986 to gauge the effect of porn material on human mind. Malamuth exposed 42 people to pornographic material and assessed them on the scale of ‘likely to commit rape,’ on the basis of the result Neil deduced that person’s who were feed with hardcore pornographic material were much more susceptible to committing an sexual offence against woman in contrast to person who were not exposed to such materials . VII. THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND MORAL POLICING The common ground of besmirching ‘porn viewing’ is morality which is a cherished sub tantrum of our Indian culture. But really morality is a term which even Aristotle had difficulty in defining he says that morality is something which is justified by human reason and which is not polluted by one’s desire. But surely a man of ordinary prudent can easily deduced from Aristotle saying that morality is not a stagnated term. We can’t set standards of 1950’s in the 21st century to determine what is morally right or wrong, time has changed so does the standard of morality has also changed. Montesquie had once remarked ‘that law is the creation of climax and local situation’ the gist of this statement was that the standard of morality and law goes for change every decade or so. The most celebrated jurist Herbert Lionel Adolphus Hart offspring(ed) the principle of recognition as per which it is not the...

...Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five and Abbott’s Flatland, the authors provide the reader with hope that maybe ignorance and immorality can be abolished and that it is possible for a society to exist without these concepts, before ultimately disillusioning the reader and showing them that it is impossible for a society to exist without this, even in other dimensions. In Flatland this is shown through the sphere who, even as the prophet of the third dimension, cannot comprehend the concept of a fourth dimension. In Slaughterhouse-Five this is shown through the Tralfamadorians who, even as supremely intelligent fourth-dimensional creatures, cannot understand the idea of morality, and are more ignorant than any human being has ever been. By showing how creatures can have such a high level of ignorance and such little morality, the authors are trying to teach a lesson to the human race; ignorance and immorality will never stop occurring, as they are the inevitable fate of mankind. In the novel Flatland, Edwin A. Abbot gives the reader a glimpse into the eyes of a two-dimensional creature who must learn a lesson about the third dimension. A three-dimensional sphere ascends from space and attempts to teach the two-dimensional square the “Gospel of the Third Dimension.” The square does not believe the sphere when he speaks of the third dimension, and even attacks him. It is only when the sphere thrusts the square into the realms of the third dimension that he finally believes in its existence...

...Morality principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. Everyone has their own view of morality , or you can call them ethics. Ayn Rand wrote her charter Equality to resemble her morality in the end of the novel “Anthem”. Let's start out with the Morality of Ayn Rand,In For the New Intellectual, 133 it states “Do you ask what moral obligation I owe to my fellow men? None --- except the obligation owe too myself to material objects and to all of existence…”. Ayn is saying that I owe man nothing except to be myself and do want I want. Equality mirrors this in “Anthem” on page 95 “I do not surrender my treasures, nor do I share them.” he also shows this on page 96 “I owe nothing too my brothers , nor do...

Chaucer portrays four characters in particular as more principled than the rest: The Knight, the Parson, the Clerk, and the Yeman. These four virtuous characters share common ethical traits, the most important being the motivation to help others, the next rejecting luxury, and the last showing skill in their jobs. Chaucer bases morality on the motivation to help others before yourself, a trait that these four principled characters have in common. Helping others ranks first as the most important virtuous trait because improving the...

...There is a variety of responses received from people regarding the subject of pornography. It depends on how people perceive the subject depending on their information about the topic, their personal experiences, and through the things they come across in their every day encounters that are filtered through their senses, personality, attitudes and values that they have acquired from their lives in society and in their respective cultures. To better understand this discussion, background on the subject being written will be laid out. The Merriam – Webster dictionary defines pornography as the depiction of erotic behavior which can be in pictures, videos or writing intended to cause sexual excitement. Another definition states that it is a material that depicts erotic behavior with the same intent as the previous definition. It may also be the depiction of acts in a sensational manner as to arouse a quirk intense emotional reaction. Therefore, pornography can be in any form which depicts erotic behavior to cause sexual and emotional excitement. The authors have generated their own personal definition of pornography: “Pornography may be defined as the ‘explicit’ depiction, through any sort of medium, of sexual activity with the primary purpose of stimulating sexual excitement and pleasure.” (Gabaldon, Manlunas and Sandejas, 2009) Pornography roots from the Greek word, pornographos which means ‘to write about prostitutes’ or depiction of...

...doesn’t stand along with ethics, it never becomes a punishable event but could create many problems. According to (apa.org, 2014) punctuality, time management, morality, integrity are some of the ethical factors which will be discussed below. In the case of undergraduate students adhere to ethics could be benefited in many ways and it is for his or her present and future both. Starting from being punctual, for an example if someone get late for his/her lectures when he/her enter the classroom it will disturb everyone. So by attending the lectures on time will save the time of his/her and others as well. Some students rush at the last moment when submitting their assignments as they haven’t completed it by the given time. But if they are punctual they won’t get late to submit their assignments as they have managed the time properly. Students who have a good morality always try to stick to ethics and don’t try to cheat on exams. But the students who try to cheat on exams lack morality and integrity which means being honest and truthful as reported in Yahoo Contributor Network, (2014) Another unethical way is that the students try to copy and paste materials to their assignments from internet as they lack morality and integrity which would lead to plagiarism. So it’s always important to have a good morality on an individual so that he/she would not give up on subject matters. Brown and karger (2009) argues that treating everyone equally without considering...

...on “life-in-death” more than any of his other works; though, almost all his works are concerned with departing material reality in some way. Some literary critics state that “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” was a “magnificent failure” because it lacked “dramatic force” (Evans, 601). Others do not believe that the story’s material action and symbolism are properly matched (Evans, 601). Oliver Evans does not agree. “‘The Snows’ is not, primarily, a story of action at all: its interest lies in the situation, and in the conflict between idealism and materialism that takes place within the protagonist” (Evans, 602). Evans discovered symbolism in almost every aspect of the story. Evans noted the despair in Harry’s life because of the conflicting views he held, and because of the deadness he felt. According to Evans, Harry was partly idealistic, as shown by his despair; however, he was also materialistic and mechanistic. Harry did not fear death; however, he hated the thought of leaving so much unaccomplished. He hated knowing that he had ruined his own life and that he could not re-claim his integrity while maintaining his materialistic lifestyle (Evans, 602). Oliver Evans also noted the symbolism of Helen, Harry’s wife. Harry made the choice to marry Helen for her money, which resulted in his moral and integral downfall because he no longer was required to exercise his morality, integrity, or talents. He did not really love his wife; their relationship was based upon a “lie”. Helen...

...The Morality of Downloading Copyrighted Entertainment With the expansion of the Internet in the past twenty years, information has become less exclusive to the general population; previously inaccessible information was now fingertips away. It resulted in benefit for a society as a whole, until people whose profession depended on the information being exclusive, now had it being distributed for free. The professions primarily affected were actors, artists, and authors. They all shared a thing in common: copyrighted material. The act of downloading or sharing copyrighted material has been deemed illegal by the United States, yet most people obtain copyrighted material through this manner. This paper focuses on the morality of illegal downloading through the various utilitarians’ perspectives. The findings of the paper will show that the act utilitarians would find illegal downloading to be morally right, while rule utilitarians would find it morally wrong. Utilitarian theory states that, “an act is morally right only if the act’s consequences do not produce an amount of wellbeing or pleasure worse than the consequences of every alternative act.” The aforementioned consequences are not only intended for the individual who takes the action, but also everyone possibly affected directly or indirectly by them. However, the theory has been further broken down into specificities, two of them being act utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism. Act utilitarians believe regardless...

...Everyman by anonymous The time of death is uncertain for everyman. An anonymous author in the late fifteenth century wrote this morality play that shows how a single character handles the news of his death and how he prepares for it. The main character referred to as “Everyman” is visited by death. God is grieved by the unrighteousness of man so he sends death to send Everyman on a pilgrimage (Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011). Everyman is also required to bring with him a reckoning of his days on earth. In the play, Everyman expresses that he needs more time to gather up his things and organize his book of reckoning but death informs Everyman that there is no second chance (Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011). Everyman calls on his goods to go with him on the journey to death and Goods rejects the offer because he belongs in the world and no one truly owns goods. Everyman is distraught by the news and searches for other people and things to go accompany him to his death. Fellowship, cousin, kinsmen sympathize with everyman on his demise but they are unable to go on such a dreadful journey. Everyman turns to his good deeds to accompany him on this journey but good deeds is weak because Everyman did not do many good works in his life time. Everyman was more focused on his material things rather than taking care of others (Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011 p 277). Good deeds refers everyman to knowledge because knowledge can lead everyman to a place of forgiveness. Through forgiveness and confession, Everyman...

...Nietzsche's basic radical contentions were the new traditional values represented primarily by Christianity create a loss of power in the lives of individuals. His most “dangerous idea” he expresses a proclamation “God is dead.” He was convinced these new customary values presented in the Christian religions represented a slave morality (Class Notes). This was a morality which was created by weak and resentful individuals who encouraged such behavior as gentleness and kindness because the behavior served their interests in the afterlife. I do not believe that Nietzsche's bold ideas and provocative language were not meant to please the aristocratic elite but to free individuals from the solitude of their pathetic lives. When Nietzsche spoke of slavish morality or of contemporary Europe in general, he gave an offensive outlet to his abhorrence at what culture has done in the name of morality. He rejects society's repugnance of the self-contained peoples who point out its hypocrisies of class, ranks, and morals. The solitary is he who challenges society's desire to turn the human being into an animal. Nietzsche’s viewpoint, to fully understand the concepts of Good and Evil vs. Good and Bad, one must first understand certain how moral systems developed and how culture played a role in its development. Nietzsche felt that moral systems were not created by exterior beings. He feels that moral systems are developed from within a society. This claim was one of the reasons his works were...

...Nietzsche (On the Genealogy of Morality, First Treatise; Section 11 of Second Treatise): • True goodness is not just being altruistic • To find out real human goodness, Nietzsche goes back to study history and the study of words-etymology • In the words and roots that designate good, the nobles felt themselves to be humans of a higher rank. Call themselves the truthful.esthlos means the one who is, who possesses reality, who is true. Becomes the catchword of the aristocratic and feel like it distinguishes them from the common “lying” man. • *Origin of morality is power* • Justice is a product of power. It puts order in place/creates laws/preserves power so it continues. There isn’t universal justice. • Life is understood as the desire for power. • Nietzsche believes there have been two types of moralities: o The first morality- aristocratic morality-moral reality The “good” are the few. They possess reality. They have power, strength, victory, self-affirming, freedom, possessors of truth, active. They have a healthier expression of life. More beautiful. They look down upon and despise the “bad” The noble human beings live with himself in confidence and openness The “bad” are the many. They are lower in class, weak, simple, restricted, lacking, degenerate, oppressed, plotting, hating, lying, and passive. They will eventually gain power which leads to Nietzsche’s slave morality. The priests are the leaders of this “bad” slave morality. Priests are the most powerless...

...question of morality. We are going to take a look at positions taken by great German philosophers Kant and Nietzsche on the question of morality and the way people should be treated, based on their arguments presented in theories developed by them. Kant’s philosophy is based on the assumption that there is a metaphysical dimension which implies that there are some absolute things that do exist outside of human beings and which are the ends in themselves (not intended to promote an achievement of any other end). Kant calls these abstract absolute things the categorical imperative. The categorical imperative in his view is something that is not dependent on anything else and, therefore, should be something that we should strive for. The concept of the categorical imperative is important because we can use it to determine whether our actions are being moral through the application of the universal law, which implies the categorical imperative. The universal law says that we should never act except in such a way that we can also will that our maxim should become a universal law. The whole system of Kant’s morality is based on the assumption that there is an autonomous will, which is the source of moral action and decision-making. Kant refers to it as a good will, which can be regarded as good without qualification, because it is good only through its willing, i.e., it is good in itself. According to this, here arises an interesting point that explains how Kant’s system of morality affects...
