@ashacharles14 I agree. I think if I knew where they were going I would feel more indifferent towards it. But I know that is not the case for everyone. I think it would actually anger people if they knew it was going to something they don’t support. #SP22
@rzbandz It’s because these systems for the most part were made by people who are dead. And it’s not so much individuals but the collective actions of individuals. You can’t point to one person and say they are responsible for a piece of legislation. #SP22
@DavidOo999 I don’t think it’s unethical because jobs are there for those who are qualified. It’s not just for that employee to stay either because both employer and employee have duties to each other and the employee is not upholding his half. #SP22
@ellen3cross @barco_christina @dairyqweenfan@StonyUB I think that it is a tiny bit of the truth, we as a society have become completely reliant on smartphones, and then heavily marketed by Apple, we need the best of this “necessity”. #SP22
@Crab__Mentality @GabiEwbank @No39544540 Such a thing as free stuff. It may be free for some person but somewhere along the lines someone has paid for it. #SP22
@Crab__Mentality @GabiEwbank @No39544540 And even then someone had to pay for the supposedly “free” housing. The government would pay for it by using tax revenue… but who pays the taxes? Unless the government somehow had all the money and didn’t need to collect taxes there really isn’t #sp22
Do you guys agree that as persons with moral agency we have a natural duty to bring about just institutions and therefore are also responsible for the poor in the ghetto? #SP22
@123lmnoptuv I like her definition as well. Thinking about the consequences of one’s actions and seeing how they affect others is not often seen in society. Especially in the self care culture, where people act selfishly and justify it in the name of “self-care” #sp22
@No39544540 I don’t think it’s impossible to be an ethical landlord if so then it’s impossible to be an ethical farmer as food is also an essential. #SP22
@StonyUB There’s also the consideration that you can just buy a flip phone or a phone that is not Apple. Because a phone is an essential but an Apple phone is not. #SP22
@StonyUB@dairyqweenfan I think because for issues of affirmative action there is a definite fix but for issues of poverty it’s much more complex. #SP22
@Crab__Mentality@StonyUB Is the main point that this only happened when injustice is unsustainable. Because injustice if it is sustainable requires some extra catalyst to start the process of fixing it? #SP22
The actions of politicians can render a whole industry crippled and can impoverish certain people and that is not the fault of the person in that industry. #SP22
I tend to agree with Young in that all poverty is not either personal responsibility or structural injustice but some poverty can be a mixture of both. #SP22
But if a structural approach is taken to fix it it would ignore the personal responsibility issue that that sort of poverty is rooted in as well. #SP22
I think it’s interesting how Young points out that it’s a misleading idea that people can be insulated and independent of the actions of others, when that is clearly not the case. #SP22
