Looking at Bill Clinton through a Motivational Microscope
[ send me this paper ]

Need for Achievement - The desire to do something better or more efficiently to solve problems, or to grasp and solve complex problems. 2. Need for Affiliation - The desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm relations with others. 3. Need for Power - The desire to control others, to influence their behavior, or to be responsible for others." Bill Clinton is used as the case study for these motivational theories.

MacIntyre, Dependent Rational Animals
[ send me this paper ]
An 6 page essay that summarizes and analyzes Alasdair MacIntyre’s Dependent Rational Animals, Why Human Beings Need the Virtues, which calls for the development of a "distinctive" set of virtues, which are constructed not only on acknowledgment of humanity’s rational nature, but also on the fact that human beings are part of the animal kingdom and dependent on each other in various ways throughout the life span. This paper discusses MacIntyre’s thesis in details and then offers the reasons why this writer/tutor agrees, but also feels that MacIntyre left out a major area of ethical philosophy that encompasses precisely the virtues that he calls for in his book.

Moral Relativism
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Given the interpretive nature of moral relativism, it is difficult to impose one's ethical perspective upon another whose choices do not abide by one's standards. Global societies embrace a significant diversity when it comes to moral relativism, and no single community can claim a higher measure of morality than another due to the validity inherent to each different culture. Cannibalism, for example, is considered absolutely morally intolerable in civilized societies, however, it is a cultural norm for tribal peoples. Physical abuse is entirely acceptable in some foreign countries where patriarchy reigns, yet it is against the law in other more socially enlightened societies. Therefore, moral relativism stands as a wholly individual perspective; one can no more convince another of the ethical nature of a given action and expect that person to abide by one's viewpoint than can that person persuade others to accept seemingly unethical behavior.

Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction: Kantian Theories
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Mankind has manipulated virtually every aspect of his existence since first realizing the intrinsic power he held as a human being. However, this inherent authority has long been misappropriated to appease personal agenda or accommodate the majority, ultimately leaving a gaping void of ethical consideration when it comes to the moral integrity of such actions. The idea of multifetal pregnancy reduction (MPR) – where certain fetuses are purposely culled from the mother as a means by which to reduce the risk of premature births through selective termination - is one of myriad questionable concepts that, according to Kantian theories, clearly pushes the envelope of a civil, moral society.

Technological progress has brought significant advancement to mankind in the way of myriad life-altering improvements, however, in order to reap these benefits untold minority populations continue to pay the price with their homelands and their lives.
