This class was a wonderful time in my final semester and has given me a renewed spark for ethics. #i2e21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@Corbin78763532 I agree they are definently similar as they both focus on the end or product. #i2e21

@nessyyxx I agree the people in the cave had no good reason to live it as it was all they'd known and something like a brand new world would seem incomprehensible. #i2e21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@SohamSh16719003 They have no idea there is a world outside of the cave so it is not close minded but rather logical in my view. #i2e21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

Personally I like how Aristotle classifies and uses terms as it is easy to follow. #i2e21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@JonathanDaity Agreed Aristotle has a great way of framing his arguments to be very succinct and convincing. Maybe he was one of the originators of this idea of moderation. #I2E21

@LowShamya For me while my own individual happiness is very important to every day life, I would like to think my purpose is a little more than just making sure I am happy as a individual. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@school__mouse I agree with Aristotle in this sense as I can not see myself living a happy life without it being fulfilling to me. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

Personally I agree more with Jake than Amy. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

Ethics of Care seems to me to be rebranded ethical egoism. It sounds better and more compassionate at first glance but in principles they are very similar. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@Gracedom3102 @KelzPag Yeah Kant is definently a hard nut to crack just when you think you are on board he throws a curve ball at you. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@Gracedom3102 Desire for peace/security? #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@Naomirose001 I can see this being an objective goal because everyone in the class should want this, even though it is a personal incentive it is one we all share #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@kristin_weed I don't think this is what he meant, and if it is that view falls apart quickly. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

I definently would not be able to do Samuel Jacksons job in the movie as I cannot accept that torturing innocent children is the right thing to do in any situation no matter the ends. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@KelzPag I personally can not think of any modern or past politicians/ leaders that are moral politicians. Maybe FDR? #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

I cannot think of an example of a real life moral politician. Anyone have any thoughts? #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@JonathanDaity I believe these decisions come down to ones own personal beliefs and this would indeed result in making the decision that the individual can live with so I agree. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@breanna_dejesus Agreed this distinction was needed as alot of a lower pleasure may not compare to a little of a higher pleasure. #I2E21

[Jacob Shaw @JacobSh61423481]

@JulianaJjdenney One should definently recognize those greater pleasures in themselves and act on them but I do not believe everyone has the same pleasures. #I2E21
