@BrenaManning @Emilylew0 Acknowledging your ignorance is the only way to spark successful education #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

Takis are great you need to try them @professorDEG #I2E21

@ethicsub It will be extremely hard to pass population control laws however it will probably be needed as the world will overpopulate and food will be scarce. I read somewhere that the global human population will reach 10 billion by 2050, pretty wild! #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

I tend to apply people's actions to their character/personality, but I will be more cautious of that now that I better understand the situational components of people's actions #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

It is cool how all of the philosophers we read in class disagree as it leads to an eternal conversation of ethics #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@miiiamor7 People tend to act teleologically, or based on the consequences. A person unknown to you suffering in silence will have no effect on you. Watching someone close to you suffer hurts and people act to avoid such situations. #i2e21

@sqrimbey I typically put the cart back in the corral. Doing simple tasks to make others' lives just a little bit easier is something that makes me feel right, hopefully that says something about my excellence of character. #i2e21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@school__mouse Agreed, only when a person's true intentions and desires are shown can they be considered with a specific subset of character #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

It doesn't really surprise me that public speaking was noted as a fear more often than death. Even though we live our lives to avoid death, there is nothing to be anxious about since it is an experience-less state #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

I find the idea of a courage coach a good metaphor for your conscience. When you either expect excellence in yourself or have others expecting it in you, your mind will subconsciously start steering you away from the excess or lack of specific excellences of character #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@SophiaGuadagno1 I would say the right to start a family would be a natural right #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@MinhNamNguyen96 @BHethics4 This is very true. People misplace the source of the threat, making it that much more dangerous to us all #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@lbarcol Same here. The terminology gets pretty confusing since the terms sound pretty similar and are all closely related however they all come together to create a really interesting concept #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@SydneyEthics I bet she was the youngest attendee though, those events are not meant for people of that age so it does make some sense. #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@miiiamor7 No I dont think that they are just as bad because there may be other morally important things in someone's life that hold them back from stopping harm #I2e21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@school__mouse I agree, everybody wants to lead a life full of personal success and healthy relationships but the persons specific morals is what changes their path to the goal #I2E21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@KelzPag If I were in this scenario, and I didnt know any of the people I feel like I would be able to do it because of the amount of life I would be saving. I think this would help me not feel guilty, and honestly be happy that I was able to let that many people live. #I2e21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@Emilylew0 I think it is impossible to be a good leader with clean hands because they are commonly faced with moral dilemmas which they must alone solve. Moral dilemmas guarantee that someones hands are getting dirty, even if the better option is chosen. #I2e21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

Should politicians be required to explain the "dirt" on their hands? #I2e21

[Andrew Heller @andrewheller24]

@kristin_weed @Michellemwoedy Even though it morally shouldn't, this added scenario would make the decision process so much harder for the average person. I cant imagine sacrificing someone important to me for 5 random people I've never met. #I2e21
