plan, to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. For some that plan may consist of leaving the premises, for another it may mean trying to solve the issue first, but for trained emergency responders that plan should be the Incident Command System.

and Divine Command In Plato's Euthyphro, Socrates presents a fundamentally meta-ethical problem to Euthyphro by asking “whether the pious or holy is beloved by the gods because it is holy, or holy because it is beloved of the gods” (Plato 219)? I will relate this question to the Divine Command Theory of morality and discuss the philosophical implications associated with each possible answer to the dilemma while demonstrating fallacies and inequalities within each. Divine Command Theory (DCT)
Every disaster incident that occurs, varies in size and complexity based upon on the elements involved. However, through effective planning and use of the Incident Command System (ICS), agencies involved can coordinate a unified response to address all-hazards. One example incident which used ICS was the Duke Energy Diesel Spill of August 19th, 2014. First, to become familiar of with ICS, a brief history of its inception and how it is utilized to address any hazards will be provided. Then, a summary
Problem In this paper I will discuss the Divine Command Theory (DCT) and its attracted features. I will also discuss the problems proposed by Plato’s writing known as “The Euthypro Problem” (EP). Using the Euthypro Problem I plan to show how Divine Command Theory makes morality arbitrary and God’s goodness meaningless. First I will begin by clearly defining the Divine Command Theory. I will then proceed to discuss the attractive features of the Divine Command Theory. After I will discus “The Euthypro Problem”
divine command theory is the view in which, what is right is what God commands, and what is wrong is what God forbids. The divine command theory brings morality and religion together in a way that provides a solution to arguments such as, moral relativism and the objectivity of ethics.

The Euthyphro Dilemma can be stated: “Is an action morally good because God commands it, or
depends entirely on the will or commands of God, the divine command theory of morality is one of the most highly controversial and defended theories in history. Also referred to as theological voluntarism its concept varies according to the particular religion and views of the individual command theorist, but ultimately revolves around the same common claim which morality and moral obligations depend on the command of some deity, according to the forum "Divine Command Theory in the Passage of History
The Divine-Command Theory is a branch of Absolutism which falls right in line with the Christian perspective. Any action that God commands is morally right. An action is wrong if it is contrary to the will of God. The will of God may be found through scripture, personal revelation, tradition and reason. If one loves God, then one must be obedient to His will. Morality is based on the commands and ever unchanging character of God and if God did not exist then so it would be the same with morality
Divine command theory is. Divine command theory, as we discussed in class, is the theory that proposes the status of an action being considered morally good as being dependent on whether or not God commanded it. Basically, anything we quote or extract from God’s words, either being from the bible or repeated, is the foundation for what should be considered morally good. Therefore, if an individual was to strive to be moral, he must follow the commands that God decrees. However, Divine command theory
This essay will explain and critique divine command theory. First, divine command theory will be defined. Second, two key arguments for divine command theory will be described. Third, criticisms will be raised against cultural relativism. Last, a final assessment of divine command theory will be given. To fully understand the overview of divine command theory six key categories outline the basic principles of this ethical theory. The six key categories are source, selection, definition of good,
The Divine command theory is a metaethical theory which states that an action is obligatory if and only if, it is commanded by God. In this essay, I shall examine whether any form of divine command theory is defensible. I shall begin by looking at the modified theory as proposed by Robert Adams, who is a defender of this position. Secondly, I will attempt to assess objections from Plato, Kant, Leibniz and Aquinas; before proceeding to evaluate whether these objections are successful in demeaning

Blitzkrieg is mainly used to describe German tactics, however the general tactic itself was not entirely unique to only the Germans. The lightning quick method was used whenever the opportunity presented itself, particularly by the forces under the command of General Patton. In analyzing the German utilization of this “lightning war” tactic it becomes clearer how much of an intricate role the Blitzkrieg played in the Second World War, and how it could have completely succeeded.

Helen welcomed Jane into the strict, religious school of Lowood. However, Lowood was not the answer to Jane's prayers, but rather an unsuspecting, ill child. Helen proclaimed God's will and his command to "love your enemies; bless them that curse you ...." (Bronte 50) Jane thoughtfully analyzed this command but did not comprehend the meaning intended.

our lives, it is important to exercise self-command. However, we should not be so concerned with the future that we stifle the present. The question becomes what balance should we strike between self-command and risks? What kinds of risks are acceptable or unacceptable? In this essay, we will use two examples of risks to show the distinction between the two and arrive at a conclusion as to the balance one should have between risk and self command. The first example we will use is of a person
