Evil, in the terms of my discussion can be said to be the worst possible outcome, or at least, the not so desired one. And good being vice versa. Some may ask that people do not always desire for the best things, but for my definition, the desired outcome goes farther to include those outside and within the actions immediate effects. For example, 10 people in a room and one shouts, then those people hear and are affected by the shout, but those outside are not, in any direct way, affected. If a child spills milk then he has, to some extent, committed the less desired outcome, but in doing the evil, the child has the chance to learn from his mistakes. While if someone else spills the child 's milk, then what could the child learn that he could not find out by spilling it himself? The child has the opportunity to learn numerous from …show more content…
Socrates argues for the existence of an eternal soul, and that our soul knows, and teachers only reteach what we forgot. I do not agree with his stance on human education, because if the sole is eternal, then why are there more soles in the world today than yesterday? Have those soles always existed or perhaps waited in a line to inhabit a body? Perhaps this is true, but if so then that line would need to be infinite otherwise the world will run out of soles eventually, or if it is infinite where does the knowledge they possess come from? And if neither of these arguments seem logical, then how could a sole have knowledge of sciences and inventions of things that never existed. An argument against this is that the world is eternal, but then the universe is a loop, and this question has already been asked and answered, and my argument becomes pointless. That is why I do not accept Socrates’s statement that the soul already knows everything, and is being
With circumstances of risk, the leader will create a list with all potential results and give likelihoods to each result. Uncertainty is when a leader is not able to come up with a list that contains all potential outcomes or they simply are not able to give probabilities to those outcomes. As stated in the Holy Bible, Ecclesiastes 11:1-3, “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what disaster may happen on earth
couple that by letting the husband take his wife home, this could result in an even bigger consequence for them. At the end if the wife develops the bacterial meningitis they may actually end up paying more for more intensive treatment, and in the worst case scenario, he would have to live with the guilt of having his children without their mother. Mr.
a balance between optimism and pessimism. Disproportionate pessimism makes life unbearable; however, too much optimism can advance to dangerously hazardous behaviors. The Optimism and pessimism approach is expecting a positive or negative future outcome, a recognizable way of reasoning is best conceptualized as continuity with many amounts of optimism and pessimism. Successful living requires a great balance between optimism and pessimism. Too much optimism may embolden one to take uncalculated
determining the correct intervention. Include how much autonomy a nurse should have to apply personal wisdom to the process. If the critical thinking process was automated list two instances where a nurse may use “wisdom” to override the automated outcome suggested. Note the risks and benefits of using clinical decision making systems. A critical thinking task that staff on our unit are frequently challenged with is treating low blood glucose levels, which are considered to be a blood glucose level
wealth is to be distributed equally unless the unequal distribution is to everyone's advantage. Rawls holds the ideal political theory. I believe that this is in fact the best principle in which we should live. When viewing justice as fairness, this outcome will be the most favorable for all parties involved. In this society everyone benefits, so even if there are slight inequalities, the end result will come out better than if there was complete equality. So for this to work, then even the least advantaged
explain the paradox, understand individuals’ behaviors as they relate to marriage, divorce and the use of pre-nuptial agreements. We have used the principles of game theory to predict an equilibrium outcome relating to the use of prenuptial agreements and to explain deviations from this outcome. 2 Background on Pre-marriage Agreements A pre-marriage contract, also referred to as a prenuptial agreement or “ pre-nup,” is a legal contract entered by both parties prior to marriage that defines
that this to be true. I personally, would have to agree. The risks of football injuries are not worth playing the game in my opinion. I have heard the old saying my whole life growing up, “start them while they’re young”. This to me is the worst advice anyone could give concerning young kids and football. At the young age of 5 pee wee football usually begins. Therefore creating an increase in the same types of head injuries that are suffered in the collegiate and professional level. The
that situation worse. It is essential to think of that hint of positivity in what you think may be completely negative. Doing this can make the seemingly atrocious events in life a lot more tolerable. You can drastically modify those unfavorable outcomes, even when it feels as if the world is crashing down on you, by taking a positive view of its effects and realizing that everything is meant to happen for a specific reason. Life can be very cruel to us at times; however,
product planning to represent hypothetical sequences of happenings constructed to take into account the causal interrelations. The second definition, which is more recent, is “a description of possible actions or events in the future” (Cambridge University Press, s.d.). Nowadays, this meaning of possible event is the most used in literature: diverse shades of it can be found in almost every field, from computing to finance and business strategy. For instance, in finance scenario analysis is the
product, a lot of things get into the process of decision making when it comes to design, selection of materials and the process of manufacturing. A major concern that has always been in the process of decision making is attempting to ensure that the outcomes of the product will be ethically sound, though this is not the case always. Nobody is perfect and therefore, what they do is to try out the functionality of a product, and accidents may occur. Upon any eventuality of an engineering disaster, several
costs of implementing it? Alternatives also will be measured for its cost to New Zealand in terms of staff and program resources. An optimum program would require minimized use of these resources. Minimum budget required is being the most desirable outcome under this criterion. Criterion 2:Political acceptability The purpose of this criterion is simple, Somewhat this alternative realistically be applied? In this case the defining factor is whether the people and entities involved would support
Hearing only what you want to hear can have deadly outcomes. Shakespeare demonstrated Illusion and reality is a common theme within his play Othello. Many of the characters struggled to differentiate between the two topics. The characters made the mistake of strictly hearing what they wanted to hear. Typically, we don’t take the time to provide ourselves with actual evidence but instead make assumptions that aren’t always correct, much like the characters in this play. During the play Othello, Shakespeare
compared to one another. In this Compare and Contrast Essay, I will define two emotions I am alike and one emotions that doesn’t resemble me as much. Fear is the first emotion that resembles my personality. Like Fear, I always think of the worst possible outcome in every situation. I am always afraid of the consequences that may arise. This may happen while I am finishing a homework assignment or driving into school; I always feel scared about what could happen to me, my family, or my friends. I am
problem solving, it could be too little too late. Assuming the singularity increases computer development through self-improving computers, the general apathy and ignorance surrounding the event could ultimately lead to the downfall of mankind in the worst-case
Lastly, outputs must be identified. Inputs, the processes, and outputs all affect a program’s outcomes. Inputs are all of the resources and raw materials that go into a program. In this case inputs would include teachers, parents, administrators, and students. The process for a program is its activities, and procedures laid out by a program. So, in
