Knowledge Claim: Ethical judgments can impinge the way we both create the arts and the natural sciences. Knowledge Issue: To what extent do ethical considerations constrain the way the arts and natural sciences are created? Ethical consideration involves reasoning about the possible actions in the situation and judging which action is most ethical. A person making an ethical judgment uses reason to decide what is the best solution or decision to a problem. He/She considers questions such as “What is the best action to take?” and “Why is this particular action the best to take in this situation?” For instance, in business, ethical considerations include business practices of supply firms, bribes to secure contracts, working conditions and treatment of workers and employment of disabled people. Arts is the expression of creative skill through a visual medium such as painting or sculpture. Art can open us up to new ideas and beliefs, and artists can make a massive impact as role models, either in a positive or a negative manner depending on how one perceives it. Art reflects life. It is a portrait of history, whether it is history of the current moment or an event in the past or something of the imagination. The portraits of the French Revolution by David, Benjamin West's portrayal and Poussin's recreation of the Rape of the Sabine Women all attempt to provide a version of historical events. Society, in turn, can accept or reject these portrayals of true events. Sometimes, as in the case of Francisco Goya's depiction of the French behavior during their conquest of Spain, art stirs a deep hatred of a certain nationality. Art promotes cultural diversity and also may help in reducing neighborhood crime and felony. Because art commun... ... middle of paper ... ...al norms in the late 19th century. Recently, the sculpture of the British artist Marc Quinn has confirmed the continuous and complicated dialogue between moral values and art. His sculpture of Alison Lapper, was on display in Trafalgar Square for 18 months from 2005. The placement of the statue certainly contributed to its controversy. Comments questioned the subject’s appropriateness for this public location with significant historical symbolism. Some of the outrage focused on Lapper’s nudity and pregnancy and overlooked the beautiful marble work with its subtle links to much admired Greek and Roman sculptures and the overall meaning of the statue. The response to this sculpture reveals that intolerances still exist, even when cultures celebrate diversity and differences and people still take ethical considerations regarding various issues.

a. TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Without the aid of reference, demonstrate the four steps in clearing a misfire and describe some ways a misfire may occur in accordance with MCI 21.35 of the MARINE CORPS INSTITUTE, (INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF THE M9 SERVICE PISTOL). (CPLX1)
Soldiers were ordered to load and they would take a cartridge and rip it open. Sometimes they would open them with their own teeth. After they opened it, they poured powder into the pan of the firing mechanism to fill it up. They would pour the main portion of the powder down into the barrel, and then they folded paper and put it into the barrel and dropped the ball at the top. They used the ramrod under the barrel of the musket to...
in this field. Consequently there is a need for ethics to inform researchers on the most ethical practices and courses
To remove the hammer, slowly remove the tension and it may be lifted out. The pivoting pin can be lifted off and the hammer spring slid off the hammer. Next, lift out the trigger pivoting pin. The trigger and hammer pin will fall out once lifted. Once the safety ring is removed and safety pushed out the disassembly is complete.
Knowledge is basically the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It consists of facts and skills acquired by a person through experience or education. Ethical considerations are relative to one’s own knowledge, experience, and value system. According to Hunt and Vitell (1986), ethical judgment is the process of considering several alternatives and choosing the most ethical alternative. For Rest (1986), ethical judgment is the process by which an individual determines that one alternative is morally right and another alternative is morally wrong. “Broadly, ethical judgement can be defined so as to include the decision process as well as the action itself.” This essay aims to discuss the way in which ethical judgements limit the methods available in the production of knowledge in both the arts and natural sciences.
These parts all work together to make sure the firing pin firmly strikes the primer on the cartridge and sends the bullet out of the barrel towards the intended target. First is the trigger, which on the AR-15 has the sear directly attached to it. The trigger extends into the lower receiver and the sear sits horizontally, they are one piece. The front part of the sear sits in a groove in the bottom part of the hammer. When the trigger is pulled, it pulls the sear down which pulls it out of the groove in the base of the hammer. The hammer spring then launches the hammer, rotating it towards the rear of the bolt carrier, where the firing pin is. “When the trigger is pulled, the front edge of the trigger moves downward, disengaging the hammer, allowing the hammer spring to drive the hammer forward into the firing pin. This action causes the firing pin to move slightly forward impacting the primer of the cartridge, thus causing the powder charge to ignite.” (Conway, Gary) According to AR15BARRELS.COM, “Primer flash ignites powder charge, instantly creating great pressure within the cartridge case.” That pressure helps force the bolt backwards. As the bolt carrier group flies backwards, it pushes the hammer back, and the hook that is on the hammer
Ethical judgements often add complex implications to the pursuit of knowledge, regardless of the area of knowledge. In the areas of the arts and natural sciences, ethics can pertain in diverging ways. For the arts, ethics often comes into question when determining whether or not it is worthwhile to sacrifice ethics for artistic choices and messages. For the natural sciences, in contrast, ethics is often debated in the pursuit of new knowledge. There are many different criteria to when it comes to the ethical justification of knowledge, all based on different perspectives; whether these judgements have a direct impact in knowledge production or come into play in hindsight depends largely upon how ethics is perceived.
Possession of knowledge in natural sciences caries infinite amount of ethical responsibility, primarily due to the effect it has on a large scale. The possession of knowledge in natural sciences can either save or end lives. A perfect example of this is Alexander Fleming and his discovery of penicillin. Had he not shared his accidental discovery of the antibiotic, millions would have died. Alexander Fleming had an ethical responsibility to share his knowledge as not doing so would have appeared to be immoral. In this situation, sharing his knowledge brought the greatest amount of happiness to the largest quantity of people. However the opposite can be said with some cases in natural sciences. The most famous being the Manhattan project. The scientists working on that project had an ethical responsibility not to share their possessed...
Hello, the topic we are talking about today in the featured video provided by SDI with the help of SDI Instructor Kip Carpenter is the evolution of firearms and their history. In this film they talked about where the firearms journey started in the 1500's. The first few different types of actions including the old snafus with the match lock system which used a match or a piece of cord but was very unreliable if it was raining. The wheel lock system was a interesting apparatus that worked like a clock mechanism and used a piece of pyrite for the ignition source. This system took 2 hands and wasn't very cumbersome. Soon after that the flint lock system was introduced which was really reliable. It was used for almost 100 years before something
If I were to ask you what is art, and how can one find it? What would you say? Well if it were me being asked those question, I would simply say that art to me is a form of a picture; a visual painting or model of some design and it could be found all among us. You may define it differently only because art could be defined in many ways. I could simply say that art to me is a form of a picture; a visual painting or model of some design. Well according to an article written by Shelley Esaak, an art history expert she mentioned that art has a way of stimulating different parts of our brains to make us laugh or incite us to riot, with a whole gamut of emotions in between. She also mentioned that art gives us a way to be creative and express ourselves. [1]
Ethical judgments limit the methods available in the production of knowledge in both the arts and the natural sciences. Discuss.
When we usually think of ethics, we consider the rules between right and wrong. Although most people acquire a sense of what is right and wrong during their childhood; moral development and reasoning occurs throughout a human’s life as they pass through the different stages of life. Most people are so aware of ethical norms that to a certain extent it has been considered common sense. On the contrary, if morality was nothing more than common sense, then why are there so many ethical disputes and issues in today’s society? This topic raises various knowledge issues in the fields of arts and natural sciences such as “To what extent do ethical considerations constrain the production of knowledge in natural sciences?” and “How far do ethics play a role in the pursuit of knowledge in the field of arts?” This essay will explore these two questions in detail along with the role of the three ways of knowing (emotion, perception and reasoning).
“Morality may consist solely in the courage of making a choice.” This quote by Leon Blum conveys what ethical judgment is. It is making a choice about what is wrong and what is right and the choice that has been made affects further activities. If the choice that the activity is right was chosen, then that activity would be continued, but if the choice that the activity is wrong were chosen, then the activity would not be able to continue hence, there would be no further production of knowledge. It’s humans who decides and makes a choice as science and art are just a tool. But as there are no scientific methods in the world to decide what is right and wrong due to the absence of universal ethical code, what I consider to be ethical might not be ethical to another person. So, the process of how people perceive situations or their belief about what is ethical and unethical it determines the emotions and hence the actions are finally taken. But, to what extent should humans consider ethics while carrying out experiments? This knowledge issue raised by the question would help explore the knowledge issue in the areas of knowledge: Natural Science and Art.
Ethical judgment is reasoning about the possible alternatives in a situation and judging which alternative is the most ethical one. A person making an ethical judgment uses reason to decide what is the best alternative to resolve one problem or to determine that one alternative is morally right and another alternative morally wrong. In short, ethical judgment is a process of considering several alternatives and choosing the most ethical one.
Art is limited in a very large number of ways by the ethical judgements we make, but it is also often brought into existence as a result of our morals and emotions. These judgements seem to handicap the production of knowledge of and through art, but they are also vital to it. This is a sign that abandoning our morals would be difficult, but impractical for the arts. For science, however, abandoning these morals to avoid the obstacle of ethical judgements would allow us to understand much more than we do today, and even more than we did hundreds of years ago; however, these judgements also keep our developments in check. They may prevent some good, but they definitely prevent irreversible harm as well. It is clear that ethics has many drawbacks, but it is a necessary element of our lives.
