Captain Rockwood And Haiti: Military Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Captain Rockwood experienced a collision between conscience and duty, a test of one's moral constitution from which no human can escape unscathed; if the issue at hand is so daunting as to erect such a pillar of doubt, while at the same time drive one to contemplate the validity of its importance over and above one's personal conflict, then there can be no question as to the legitimacy of hesitation. From childhood and throughout his learning years, Rockwood felt an entirely different calling than the one that expected him to carry forth the family's military tradition. Indeed, the humanitarian empathy in him exuded from the apex of his entire being; how, then, could a man who at one time trained to be a priest be expected to ignore the calling of blatant barbarity?

Carter/”Just Be Nice”
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that is in reaction to “Just Be Nice,” Stephen L. Carter, which is an essay that calls for a return to civility and argues that the “protection of constructive and polite public discourse is essential to public morality and the common good” (Davis 689). Roger Williams, the seventeenth century Puritan leader who founded the colony of Rhode Island, emphasized the need for civility, as he argued that the “’term’ civility’ stands for basic moral norms that citizens hold in common” and this is a stance in which Carter concurs (Davis 689). Therefore, rude, vulgar speech that accosts one’s fellow citizens for no apparent reason is more than simply bad manners. It is a direct attack on the foundations of society itself. This point is proven by examining the functions that civility serves in society, and also by looking at the innate power of language. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Character Education in the Public Schools
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper discussing the “dangerous” ground of including moral education in the public schools. Among those schools that have been most successful in achieving impressive academic gains has emerged a paradox: academic excellence does not emerge in an atmosphere void of personal responsibility and dedication to the work at hand. Nor does it thrive in the environment in which there is no cooperative effort or attention to helping peers. It seems that we had to abandon values in order to realize their relative worth. As public schools are called to accountability for results as never before, there is also much more attention to character education. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Charles Taylor's "The Ethics Of Authenticity": Modernity
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Charles Taylor condones the notion of progress – it is just the residual effect that modernity creates that has him rather perturbed. In his book entitled "The Ethics Of Authenticity," Taylor weighs the quest of modernity to the fundamental aspects of being humane by questioning the very actions by which people have come to live their lives. The writer discusses how Taylor employs three malaises that effectively pose his concerns of a society gone awry from the influence of modernity: the comprehensive and far-reaching loss of meaning, the postulation that values have taken a back seat to personal conquest and the doubtful existence of a healthy self-government due to the presence of special-interest politics, with particular attention focuses on the first two.

Consanguineous Marriage: Constitutional?
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Consanguineous marriages are most prevalent in global communities still untouched by such culturally revolutionizing events as industrialization and technological advancement, however, they still exist in many of today's more civilized societies. To marry and produce children with a close relative has long been an accepted approach for the perpetuation of the family, an aspect typically encouraged by religious doctrine. However, while this type of marital union may have an extensive presence in terms of historical validity, it cannot be considered constitutional from a number of different angles, not the least of which includes the notion of inbreeding, morbidity and mortality.

Considering Organ Donation

Typically, when asked for a reason, the most common answers incorporate religion or fear, both of which carry with them heavy ethical motivation.

Copyright And Genome Databases
[ send me this paper ]
18 pages in length. The antagonistic issue of ownership is one that transcends virtually all boundaries of what might otherwise be considered a civilized society. From ancient Rome to contemporary times, the fight for lawful claim upon a certain entity has always been ensnared within the confines of man's contempt for fair distribution of any given commodity. The concern over the absence of any copyright protection laws for human genomics databases is but one of myriad issues surrounding the entire precarious research program; with sensitive and pertinent information being discovered in relation to human genomics research, and the fact that anyone is fully capable of securing that information without prior permission by only slightly modifying the existing database, original creators and critics are up in arms about the unethical and inequitable nature of such unprotected actions, a bone of contention that has existed in various forms for hundreds of years.
