intro to ethics baby.

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

abby lee miller would definitely not agree with the ideas of Kant #everyonesreplaceable #I2E21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

my bad habit of procrastinating seems to be the biggest practical contradiction when doing my work #I2E21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

do we really have free will, or is our sapience and sentience just come from patterns in brain chemistry? #I2E21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@_zahrawest I think so, because every being deserves a right to life regardless of what they may have done #I2E21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

can your outcomes matter morally to Kant if the outcomes only came about because you were following the good will? #I2E21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@ProfessorDEG can you think of anyone in today’s society that have used their goods and fortunes they e received for the wrong reasons? #I2E11

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@EthicsBabyy I think it is your choice to go into society because it’s not like the society needs you to function as a whole #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@LowShamya i think in certain cases where they have an outside factor affecting their ability to know their own good. if someone who is mentally ill is trying to harm themselves, taking away their right to independence to keep them safe is necessary #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@JRJw44 i would say that the rights that you cannot involuntarily or voluntarily lose tend to be the most important #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

I think there are just too many factors that go into considering what a right is that it will always just be very controversial. it reminds me a lot of previous units that talked moral relativism#I2E21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

i can see the corporate collective being able to justify war. this was always something i had trouble with until learning about the common food vs individual interests #I2E21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@briannaruffinn @MeenuMani107 @lbarcol cancel culture works in a very weird way sometimes. it seems like if you stay quiet about your exposed wrong doings people will soon just forget about it. #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@school__mouse the more i think about it, I wouldn’t want to violate the constraint to save the 5 people because all 6 got on the tracks and it had nothing to do with you, so why involve yourself in their dilemma and get blood on your hands ? #i2e11

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@KelzPag i believe all that power sadly gets to a persons head that causes them to become immoral, but if there are any moral politicians i would like to believe it’s AOC #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

that being said, why does leadership have to involve harmful decisions? it makes you think how political leadership involves moral dilemmas when their goal is to please everyone #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

the lesson about politicians having no choice but to get their hands dirty does make me empathize with them. someone has to make these decisions for the good of our country #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@Shannon28933911 i agree with this, but i’ve found that it’s harder to get people to open their eyes on the importance of treating people equally when discrimination has been built into our society so long ago. #I2E21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@EthicsPhi @NickCeci67 I think not enough people give a second thought to this matter, so these companies don’t feel compelled to make a change #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

one of the most popular clothing websites currently for girls my age depends on the suffering from child labor. I tend to not think about this as much until i watch these lectures #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

@AnatoliiV_I2E21 that’s why i think that living in this society and buying clothes from these fast fashion brands takes our integrity away from us. i am guilty of this as well #i2e21

[Macy Dolan @macebethinking]

looking more into integrity, I feel like society sets so many standards that affect our integrity. we all do things that are sometimes meant to satisfy the needs of society over our own, like plastic surgery. #i2e21
