...have their own ethical views towards the case. In my paper I will be explaining what Foot, Mill, and Kant would have to say in regards to the case. I will focus on providing arguments against Mill and Kant’s theories while in the end accepting Foot’s theory. Foot is well known for her argument rejecting consequentialism. Consequentialism is the view that all that matters is the goodness or badness of an actions consequence. Foot argues that there are things that matter besides the outcome of an action, like the rightness or wrongness of the action. In...

The original architecture of the Internet is often described as the architecture from end to end. From one end to the other decentralized architecture ", a mechanism should not be placed on the network if it can be placed at the endpoint," in which second heart This construction gives the network simple and universal. Since then, however, the scope of the Internet has grown exponentially. It has become more difficult for the network supported by the government on a scale of measurement so that the government released gradually into a network by the private sector. Since the government is not responsible for Internet access, private companies - Internet Service Provider (ISP) - were created to ensure access to this vast network. These vendors, of course, to private companies, the main objective to make a profit - a radical difference to the original purpose of the supplier, the U.S. government. The growth of the Internet service provider, today as the dominant players of the Internet was the catalyst for a more centralized network that goes from the original end to end design was injured this change negatively related to their group The most important of the Internet - the end user.

...divided into those which are sought as means to some further end and those which they seek as good as ends in themselves. Obviously some things may be "good" as means to one end and "bad" as means to some other end. Different persons, motivated by different ends, will thus find different things "good" and "bad" (relative to their different ends). More food is "good" to a starving man, but it is "bad" to one overweight. In order for something to be good "without qualification" it must not be merely "good" as means to one end but "bad" as means to some other end. It must be sought as good totally independently of serving as a means to something else; it must be "good in-itself." Furthermore, while one thing may be good as means relative to a particular end, that "end" becomes a "means" relative to some other "end". So a college diploma may be sought as "good" as a means for the end of a higher-paying job. And a higher-paying job may be "good" as a means to increased financial security; and increased financial security may be "good" as a means to obtaining the necessities of life as well as a few of its luxuries. However, if we seek A only for the sake of B, and B only for the sake of C, etc., then there is never a justification for seeking A at the beginning of such a series unless there is something at the end of that series which we seek as a "good in-itself" not merely as means to some further end. Such an "ultimate" end would then be an "absolute" rather than a "relative" good...

A black or dark colored hot wire will be attached to one side from the conduit or Romex. Another hot wire will be attached to the other terminal on that side to send power to the light. The green ground wire will be attached to the green ground terminal on one end. A white neutral wire runs straight through from the incoming source to the light box. 4 Prepare the wires for connection to the combination. Make fresh cuts on the ends of both hot wires and the ground wire with wire cutters. Strip the ends of all three wires with the wire cutter blades to expose 1/2 inch of wire strands. Cut the neutral wire 10 inches from the incoming raceway. Strip both ends of the fresh cut. Also strip the ends of three extra wires for a 10-inch length and two 5-inch lengths. Twist the strands together between a thumb and finger at the ends of all the individual stripped exposures. 5 Connect the hot wires. Twist the end of the incoming hot wire around an end of both 5-inch extra lengths. Cover the joined ends by twisting on a wire nut. Connect the other ends of the extra lengths to both the bronze terminals on the same side of the combination. Wrap the bare wires around the terminals in clockwise...

...identifying the main difference between them, it will talk about the advantages and disadvantages for each other. Finally, it will come up with a conclusion. Unit trusts and investment trusts are two types of funds that people can invest in as a private investor in the world. They together form the very fundamental way of how funds operate. Unit trusts are‘open-ended’funds, which means that the size of the fund and the number of units depends on the amount of money investors put into the fund.(Arnold,2012:30) Moreover unit trust fund is an investment scheme where money from many investors is pooled together for collective investments, and is invested towards a specified goal as stated in the investment objective of the fund.(Fig1.1) (ambmutual.com) Arnold(2012) also claimed that investment trusts differ from unit trusts-they are companies able to issue shares and other securities rather than units. Investors can purchase these securities when the investment company is first launched or purchase shares in the secondary market from other investors. These are known as closed-end funds because the company itself is closed to new investors – if you wished to invest your money you would go to an existing investor to buy shares and not buy from the company. An open-end fund does not restrict the amount of shares that can be issued or redeemed at any time. Usually, at the end of each trading day, additional shares will be created or redeemed in relation to the fund’s net asset...

...Introduction Can a rotten egg make a good Omelet? The end/means dilemma is an old and popular scenario. The answer to this question depends on what the type of goals or ends are and what means are being used to achieve them. Moreover, Gandhi, pioneer and a theorist of satyagraha said, “I feel that our progress towards the goal will be in exact proportion to the purity of our means”. Indeed, according to the Gandhian philosophy, the means and ends are like the two sides of the same coin. They are inseparable from each other. That is why, for example, Gandhi struggled whole life against British and never adopted the wrong means. I. Do ends ethically justify their means? Most people use the expression "the ends justify the means" as an excuse...

It is a common mistake to suppose that utilitarians have a fixed approach to controversial political issues. While utilitarians agree on what the criteria for good social policy are (being its conformability to utility), we freely and commonly disagree on which policies are actually useful. We know which goals we should aim for, but we are no better equipped than any others in politics to decide which policies will, in practice, help us achieve those goals. One may ask a utilitarian what makes people happy, but one would be unlikely to receive a better answer than can be given by the psychologist. One may ask a utilitarian about the national debt, but would be unlikely to receive a better answer than...

We may look then to the death of others to understand the no-longer-being-there, in the sense of “no longer being in the world.” Death becomes “objectively” accessible through the death of others and gain an “experience” of death, considering how Da-sein is essentially a “being with others.” f.

...Myrna argues that early detection of such disease is a good idea mainly because a patient and his/her family can appropriately plan and make decisions for the present and the future. Furthermore, she added that this will also be beneficial for the medical community not just the patient and family. On the other hand, Bong thinks otherwise and disagrees with Myrna. He thinks that knowing early destroys the lives of the patient or disrupts their present lives. Moreover, Bong says that it feels more lost by knowing early even without experiencing the symptoms of the said disease. The issue involving the case is on how should we approach detection of diseases such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease for patients who are breadwinners or have important responsibilities towards their family...

...leader in Traditional and low-end segments of the sensor business by allocating significant resources to R&D, marketing and promotions for these products. Our differentiator would be the result of a high investment in R&D to ensure our products were the best available. The board decided that the company should be judged on its ability to make a profit, gain market share, provide positive ROA and make money for our shareholders with an increasing stock price. Our target was a stock price of $38 by year 6, with an increase in profit and ROA year-over-year. The complete Strategy Statement is attached as Appendix A. 2. A description of the strategic decisions made over time The team decided to focus primarily on Low-End and Traditional products because the majority of the market demand was in these two categories. We believed that if we could maintain a prominent presence in these two sectors we would be able to be successful. In order to gain a larger market share we moved products from the Performance and Size segments into Low End and Traditional, thereby doubling our presence within these markets. It was our belief that these products would then be cheaper to maintain from an R&D standpoint and have more potential to sell since market demand was so great between these two products. While High End, Performance, and Size were growing at a faster rate (Appendix B, Exhibit 1), they were not growing fast enough to surpass Low End or Traditional (Appendix B, Exhibit...
