HUMAN LIFE WORTH: Business Ethics
Human life is immensely important and thus business must seriously consider the impact of their product or services on human lives. However there are instances where people take unnecessary risks and thus lose their lives. In that case, we cannot hold the companies liable because it was not due to their faulty products or services that a person lost his life. Government must step in with regulations etc. To make it easier to see the difference between recklessness and responsibility.

Businesses generally have a very high responsibility towards their customers. They are required to ensure maximum protection of their consumers by making sure that everything is completely safe and properly tested before it enters the market. We cannot place a price tag on human life because each life is worth protecting. However if a person wants to do something reckless, then holding a company responsible would be…...

On one hand, people seem more interlinked than ever before: texting, Facebook and Twitter updates enable us to learn what our friends are doing. It is easy to eliminate downtime waiting for trains or driving in a car by checking one's phone. Technology makes it easier to keep in touch with a wider array of people 'on the fly' when busy. But it is also not unusual to see someone in a restaurant, dining with a friend, who is fixated on a cell phone instead of talking to his or her real life companion. The second there is a pause or a dull moment, it is easy to be distracted by another type of stimulus. Modern technology creates an ADD sufferer's paradise. The more common it becomes to use cell phones, the less rude and strange it seems to not talk to someone standing next to you.
There is something…...

Should his wife than take either part- or full-time work to compensate for this, the male idea of self-reliance and care for others may be affected negatively. Conversely, a woman who is required to offer her own resources to help make ends meet for the couple may resent not being able to rely on her husband as she is used to. From both sides, this could create stress and the possible end of the marriage.
Another stress factor can be age-related illness, creating a marriage condition in which one partner needs to become the other's carer rather than equal partner. This also creates a change in the relationship dynamic that can cause considerable stress and/or resentment for both partners. The caring partner, for example, can experience unwanted feelings of disgust for the incapacitated partner or emotional and physical fatigue as a result of the caring role. The ill partner, in…...

The tradition of the family, then, is the cornerstone of a moral and ethical life, for Catholics. The consequences and turning from that to a more secular view will result in a movement away from God, and thus nullify the basic principles of human creation (Walter and Shannon, 2005, 134-40).
For modern Catholics, then, it is important to point out that there are "abiding substantial values that all disputants share and want to protect: the holiness of marriage, generous and responsible openness to life, the human character of the expression of married love, the fidelity and stability of marriage and respect for life" (McCormick, 1993).

This also has been true throughout recorded history but, like other aspects of technological progress, it exploded after the Industrial evolution (Evans, 2004).
Human warfare became much more deadly during the late 19th century when progress in explosives, metallurgy, and industrial processes allowed the development of giant cannons, artillery, and naval guns with tremendous destructive potential (Evans, 2004). By the end of World War I, mechanized weapons such as the machine gun and the battle tank had revolutionized the entire concept of warfare. During the rest of the 20th century, modern industrial methods and production capacity (propelled by another major global war) allowed the development of a simple aircraft powered by a bicycle foot pedal into supersonic aircraft within half a century (Evans, 2004). Ironically, medical technology also tends to accelerate during wartime, driven by the need to treat traumatic injuries and prevent infection (Evans, 2004).

In 1990, 22,500 patients were dead due to non-treatment accounting for as much as 17.5% of all deaths. More than 1000 patients who did not fully satisfy the criteria for euthanasia were given lethal injections. In one case Dr. Chabot, a psychiatrist assisted a physically fit but chronically depressed patient die by giving lethal injection. [Chao et.al, 2002]
Conclusion

Human life is a 'gift of god' and it is therefore not within the rights of a man to put an end to life including his own life. Improving the quality of care and 'Prolonging life' should be the main goal of medical treatment. Palliative care should have more focus on better management of pain and symptoms. Clearly ethical, moral and medical obligations do not permit the withdrawal of treatment or hydration and nutrition in a palliative setting. Instead of supporting active and passive forms of euthanasia, more efforts should be focused…...

A poem does not depend on endings as much as a story because stories must wrap themselves up. Readers expect resolutions to the conflicts that arise during the course of a tale. Compelling narratives use literary tools like purposeful digression to create suspense and to introduce the element of surprise. The key to a good narrative is balancing the right amount of digression or tension with the right amount of progress toward the end.
A narrative structure usually progresses from a state of stasis, through a disruption of the stability, and at the end returns back to a point of equilibrium accompanied by a deeper level of understanding. "Epistemophilia," or the desire to know, is what drives readers to stay with the story. The end of a story usually provides answers to questions that are raised during the course of the narrative and especially during the period of disruption.

However, the…...

drives the narrative of human life: Fate or character?
In ancient epic tales, fate or the will of the gods is often a palpable force that affects human behavior. However, human beings also have a role in shaping their own destiny in terms of their respective characters. Although there is a quality to human life that drives the plots of ancient epics such as The Epic of Gilgamesh that is transcendent of the human will and ability to shape one's fate, there are also aspects of destiny that can be attributed to what we would call 'character' in modernity.

In Gilgamesh, for example, the great warrior-king finds himself powerless to save his friend Enkidu from death after bringing a curse upon their respective heads by killing the monstrous Humbaba of the Cedar Mountains and falling afoul of the will of the goddess Ishtar. Although Gilgamesh possesses strength beyond that of mortal…...

The absence of a dominant strategy allows for the existence of a point where each player takes up a strategy that maximizes his or her outcome given the other player's options. This is what is known as the Nash equilibrium. At this point, the players take up their own individual choices and cannot improve their outcome given that the prevailing circumstances. Satisfaction of the Nash equilibrium follows from rational choices by players and the expectation that opponent players will follow the same route. [15: Rasmusen, & Eric. (2001). Games and Information: An Introduction to Game Theory, 3rd ed. . Oxford: lackwell.]

This clause safeguards the interest for the consumer to receive a high quality service as the producer is given an…...

Waiting for Godot' is a story about two apparently homeless men, Estragon and Vladimir, who wait for something or someone called 'Godot'. The two wait on a desolate expanse of the road beside a tree, resulting in a drama woven out of the men's consciousness. The tale takes the shape of an amusing repartee of dreamscapes, poetry, and nonsense, interpreted by scholars as a solemn summary of humanity's endless pursuit of meaning (Goodreads, 2015).
Characters

Vladimir and Estragon

Vladimir is compared to our brain, and frequently attempts to enlighten others on the goings-on in his surroundings, using proofs to back his assumptions. However, these scientific and rational attempts fail to generate any concrete insight -- by the tale's ending, he appears to be less certain than he initially was. Estragon and Vladimir are equally reliant on one another: whenever Estragon goes missing from the scene, even for a short while, Vladimir gets…...

Human Experimentation
Experimentation with human subjects raises a number of important moral implications. Modern protections for human subjects have their history in the Nuremberg Code, written for the Nuremberg Military Tribunal as a standard for judging the human experiments performed by the Nazis in WWII. The Declaration of Helsinki in 1964 further defined codes for human research, and the United States first implemented regulations for protecting human subjects as late as 1984 under the auspices of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (DHEW). That same year the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral esearch began work on the Belmont eport. The report, published in 1978, set out the key ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice that now underlie legislation involving research that on human subjects (United States Department of Health & Human Services). Today, the Department of Health and Human Services…...

Human Factors in Aviation Safety
The human beings with their immense capabilities, imagination, creativity, and cleverness have transformed the world into an industrial world that is surrounded by numerous inventions, innovations, and advancements in various facets of life. Aviation industry is also one of the developments of the human beings, which was imagined as an attempt to emulate bird flight. Human beings were engaged in this phenomenon for centuries prior to the emergence of the first flight, which resulted in outstanding civil transport in the form of spaceflight (Campbell & Bagshaw, 2008). However, it is wise to note that the human life is one integral aspect that should not be ignored when any mode of transportation is concerned. To have a safe journey during flights it is demonstrated that aviation safety is essential. Aviation safety principally signifies that prevention techniques in the form of regulation, education, and training should be applied…...

Some writers have also reverberated the dread that human security could become a philosophical tool.
Does Respectable Conception it work? Altering Facets OF Human Safety.

Founded on this apparently un fluctuating contrast of opinions produced by procedural insufficiencies and possible incoherency, there is other approaches that can be proposed. In an appreciation, to some it seems to have come full circle: there are important resemblances concerning the impression of human security as stated from the expansion reports / UN angle, on the one hand, and on the other, Galtung's theory of structural violence and human psychosomatic potential (Roberts). Certainly, Sabine Alkire describes the goal of human security as "being to defend the vigorous center of all human lives in methods that progress individual liberties and human contentment," a description that replicates Galtungian measurements of human growth. ut in spite of the likelihood of uncertainty and haziness natural in such a confidence,…...

Another psychological approach studied the physical basis for emotion. LeDoux (1995, p. 209+) noted, "Scientists concerned with human nature have not been able to reach a consensus about what emotion is and what place emotion should have in a theory of mind and behavior." He proposed, however, that "findings about the neural basis of emotion might also suggest new insights into the functional organization of emotion that were not apparent from psychological findings alone. The brain, in other words, can constrain and inform our ideas about the nature of emotion." This would seem to play into any discussion of genetics vs. culture as emotion is viewed, accurately or not, as a construct of societal norms in large part. Because fear is a common part of human life, LeDoux uses it to investigate his theories. "The expression of fear is conserved to a large extent across human cultures and at least…...

The term global perspective actually has a few different meanings, depending on the discipline.  It can refer to an individual’s personal lens and how they view the globe; to various perspectives about an issue from around the globe; and to views linked to globalization and the impact of individual or nation-wide actions on the world and its inhabitants.   We are going to provide a range of topic suggestions that incorporate all of these different definitions of global perspectives, with the most suggestions coming from the last topic, as it is the most commonly used across academic disciplines.
