As formalists would argue, the intent behind upholding the Second Amendment is all that matters because the only intrinsically good thing is goodwill.
But what about the overwhelming majority of Americans who want stricter gun laws? #ISBRL@sreedhari_desai
“I’m a gun advocate. I believe in the Second Amendment. But this AR, after what I saw in Uvalde, I’m done with it.”

In today's class on persuasion by @sreedhari_desai, I could not help but analyze Martin Luther King Jr's & Hitler's effectiveness from an ethical pov.
Both used logos, ethos, and pathos effectively - one to fight 4 justice & fairness and the other to carry out genocide. #ISBRL
For the longest time, people could choose the framework of their liking to resolve ethical dilemmas.

The question is, who gets to choose which framework to adopt? #ISBRL
How would Immanuel Kant and followers of Kantianism react to the intention of doing charity to feel good?

Consumerism is based on the principle of utility - 'Act to produce the greatest good for the greatest numbers.' Yet consumerism is to be blamed for the adverse effects on our surroundings. Unsure of the outcome, how can a utilitarian act? #ISBRL#sustainability@sreedhari_desai
@sureshpprabhu Sir,
Travelling in train Swaraj Express- 12472 from Katra is a bad experience as the toilet water is running into cabin of second AC coach A2. The smell unbearable. Please help us. Pictures attached.
