...The Wrong Decision for the Right Reason I sat there thinking it was a joke. No way could my parents do this to me. How could they abandon me like this? This was definitely not happening. My parents were kicking me out. Yes I probably made the wrong decision by being disrespectful but it was to stick up for my mom which was for the right reason. Before I go any further in this story let me explain my brother’s condition. My little brother, Colt, was diagnosed with mental retardation. He was really far behind in school and his social skills were horrible. My mom knew something was wrong and fought to figure out what was wrong since the day he was born and to see what she could do to make it better. My dad was and still is in denial. My mom decided to quit her job to try to help my brother catch up and live the most “normal” life possible. I’m very protective over my brother. Anyone is protective over their siblings but when you find out they have something wrong, like mental retardation, you’re even more protective. I would tolerate anyone bulling my brother or ridiculing my mother’s decisions about my brother. We were eating lunch at Applebee’s. It was my mom, my dad, my dad’s two friends (Brian and Danny), and me. We were all talking and having a good time. Although I didn’t really care for Brian and Danny I could tolerate them. Also keep in mind my dad, Brian, and Danny are all police officers, which means they seem to think being rude is hilarious. Danny and Brian started...

...Making decisions may be strenuous and problematic for multitudes of citizens in society. However, what complicates the decision making process, is whether the decision in the end is considered morally right by others.

Kelly, however, knows well enough that her brothers are going to sell their father’s company. What should she do? What is the morally right choice?

...Imagine if a mad scientist created not one, but two, gigantic, scary monsters out of dead bodies, in today’s world. How would you react? I imagine the same as the people in Frankenstein would have. In the book Frankenstein, Victor creates an eight foot tall monster out of several dead bodies. This monster becomes very lonely and angry and he began killing people. He decided he wanted Victor to create him a partner, if he did, they would move far away and never bother Victor or his family again, but if he didn’t, he would come after his whole family. Victor agreed to make the female monster, but just a few hours away from completion Victor changes his mind and destroys the body. I think Victor made the right decision, destroying the monster. There are just too many wrong outcomes that could happen if he did create a second monster....

...We all have to make difficult decisions. Sherlock had to once, when confronting two fugitives. He let them free after they confessed, but so many people wonder; did he make the right choice? In my opinion, Sherlock made the right judgement. In the first place, Sherlock saved their souls! They would have been miserable in prison, and they wouldn’t be able to care for their families, and they didn’t even touch the “wealth for which I sold my character”. Maybe they stole the carbuncle because they were going to sell it and use the money to buy houses so their families wouldn’t live in the slums. In the second place, the Countess herself forgave them! After they confessed (yes, they confessed immediately) and begged for forgiveness, the Countess...

...Did the School Board make the right decision? The school board has argued about the use of computers in classrooms, in their point of view computers are a distraction for students and they interfere in their learning. So they have decided that computers must not be allowed in classrooms. But is computer´s only function to distract students? In my opinion, computers are fast, fun and fantastic! Computers are an efficient platform as source of information. It gives the students many points of view and ideas of the topic they wanted to know about. Also, they can find information in just a click, faster than going to find a book about that topic. If students have any doubt and the teacher is not around they can access to the answer wherever they are, whenever they want. Nevertheless, a lot of people think that computers contribute to plagiarism, but the students that do...

...When George had made the decision to shoot Lennie, he had considered all the other options there were and had come to the conclusion that this was the only one where Lennie wouldn’t have suffered, and he was correct. Whether he had meant to kill Curley’s wife or not, Lennie is still a murderer. Not to mention the fact that he’d also killed countless mice given to him by his Aunt Clara mentioned by George on pages 9-10, and the young puppy from Slim he’d put to death at the beginning of Chapter 5. He is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, on top of his already soiled reputation as a result of the incident at Weed, where he’d unintentionally harassed a girl according to George on page 11, and is at this point seen by people as a full blown criminal. The fact that he has mental handicap won’t save him from the burden of being a killer, or from the punishments he would have to face as a result of his actions. In addition to that, Lennie could’ve done something bad again. His disability prevents him from making rational decisions, and the fact that, on page 7, he doesn’t even seem to remember what happened in Weed tells us that he’s forgetful to a fault. The man can even forget his own monstrous strength, and that’s what led to him killing the mice, the puppy, and even Curley’s wife. His anger issues— that are evident through him ‘punishing’ animals whenever they fought back, and him silencing Curley’s wife on page 91— only prove the fact that he is a threat to both society and wildlife...

...Tyrell’s ethical right to make healthcare decisions According to ethical principles of health care that we apply in our everyday practices, Tyrell and his parents’ rights should be respected based on autonomy and nonmaleficence. With regards to autonomy, every patient has a right to make the decision based on the information provided them by the healthcare team (Guido, 2014). Tyrell and his parents had been furnished with adequate information to make informed decisions regarding his treatment. The Physician and the Healthcare team informed them about the risks and the benefits of the chemotherapy and should allow them to make their own decisions even if the physician and his team do not agree with their decisions. In fact, there are different...

...the Civil Rights Act, even though around ten years prior, he was in opposition to passing civil rights bills. In response to a question by civil rights leader, Roy Wilkins, about why he had changed his mind about the topic, and why it had taken so long for him to do so, Johnson responded with a vague quote. Johnson’s “motives” for signing the Civil Rights Act trip over his previous actions in which he opposed anything to do with civil rights. These facts support the claim that Lyndon B. Johnson’s decision to sign the Civil Rights Act was political. In the background essay, it is stated that “During his senate years, Johnson, like most Southerners, did not support federal civil rights laws.” This information makes a clear connection as to why Johnson would oppose the laws as he followed his beliefs. Johnson’s beliefs are contested in all documents, however, there is only one true answer. In a speech delivered by Johnson on March 15, 1965, Johnson stated that “My first job after college was as a teacher in Cotulla, Tex., in a small Mexican-American school… (The students) knew even in their youth the pain of prejudice…” It seems as if Johnson’s background as a teacher influenced his decision. However, if these were his...

...-Martin Luther King, Jr. As said by one of the greatest American idols of all time, we all may come from different places, some close some far, but in the end we are all human with the same flesh, bones, and organs. America has undoubtedly had a rugged and bumpy past but the era of the Civil Rights Movement was one of our toughest times as a nation. The era where people were segregated and given negative characteristics basically influenced conflicts and movements that were both peaceful and, in extreme cases, violent. Although luckily, the Civil Rights Movement took place which took the peaceful route to equality. Three Supreme Court decisions influenced the Civil Rights Movement by shaping the rights of citizens in the United States. The final judgement of the "Shelley vs Kraemer" case in 1948 would directly affect the rights of all property owners. Petitioners Shelley, who were in fact black, acquired property and the others living near them believed it somehow violated the 14th amendment. 30 out of 39 property owners signed a 50 year covenant which said that no property...

Brown II May 29, 2011 Does An Employer Have The Right To Utilize Information Posted On Social Networks When Making Employment Decisions? Introduction Do employers have the right to use information posted on social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, and My Space for employment decisions? With the popularity of such websites, employers now have a no-cost way to look up a potential employee’s habits, etc. Employers are not only using them for potential employees, but also for their current staff. Some of what employers are looking at includes status postings, comments, and inappropriate or racy pictures. They are looking to get an idea of what this person does, how they conduct themselves, and whether or not this person is a good fit in their organization. There have been several lawsuits on this topic from employees that have been fired due to posts or pictures made to their facebook wall. This practice has not been deemed against the law, but there is much debate on how this information should or can be used. This paper will discus the pros and cons of using this type of information and also offer some suggestions on how to do it without being sued. Viewpoints Jonathon Bick, a Professor of Internet Law, feels an organization can utilize information found...

Evaluating whether or not the reasoning for the course of action listed makes sense. While working on the evaluation of the philosophical approaches we will discuss if the course of action is the most ethical, the best reasons for making the choices, and the reasons for believing this alternative is ethical. Consequentialism is the intent to maximize the usefulness of a decision. For this the relevance of this act depends on its consequences. For this approach it is essential to have a good ethical decisions and perception of it. With this it is important for students to analyze a decision in how the harmful and/or the benefits.
