Quote Meaning

 



          This quote is about how you view situation and how you control you ethics in certain situations.  Ethics are  moral principles that govern a person's behaviors or the conducting of an activity. By that you can get that the meaning of ethics are a person's behaviors in certain activities, in  other words ethics are also your morals. Your ethics are the aspects that help you look at situations with different kinds of lenses depending on your usual morals. In the quote when they said "the lens you use to see the situation"the lens is your ethics. In the short stories "The Most Dangerous Game" and "Lamb of the Slaughter" the main characters had to use their ethics in certain situations that are important. In the "Lamb of the Slaughter" the main character, Mary, didn't stick to her morals/ethics and killed her husband. In "The Most Dangerous Game" Rainsford , thought about how he could use his ethics and morals and got out of the situation by thinking wisely. "Change your response, and change your life" is about choosing the right thing to do whilst sticking to your usual morals, are you going to change them? into worse? or into better? These answers depend on the person and how he acts. Some people get anxiety when they think about what they did right or wrong or how they can change their acts, others will become better people. When having good ethics, people can benefit by
-Learning they right to wrong.
-Learning their rights and responsibilities.
-Making the best moral decisions.
Some people actually intent on not making good decisions either to impress someone or because that person wasn't taught well since a really young age.

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method?

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method? Socrates was a philosopher known as "the father of philosophy". He was known to teach, yet he only taught 3 students because it was in the old ages. Socrates didn't write anything down and all the information we know now are from the students he taught before. Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher, of the Western ethical tradition of thought. Socrates wasn't only known for philosophy but known for Greek Western Philosophy. He was also the first moral philosopher.  Socrates didn't give up philosophy even after he was given a death sentence. He was hated by everyone in his town because of his sayings. He believed that only the people who believe they don't know are the intelligent ones. " The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing" -- a quote that Socrates used to tell Plato and the 2 ...

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

Rules

 Rules        " The Giver" is a a book and a movie. The story is based on a community that has many rules; some relevant and some aren't. In the story The Elders are the ones responsible for changing or cancelling the rules. The rule goes through the committee and it becomes studied by The Elders who should then eventually change it. For example, in the book they say that the rule where children can't drive bikes before the age of 9, wanted to be cancelled. The rule was passed in the committee, and even though it takes so much time that the people forget about it, it does get cancelled or changed eventually. in real life, though, the government of each country is responsible for changing the rules. In many countries the citizens are the ones who have the most impact on changing the rules, yet in the fewer countries, the citizens have a very low voice on making the rules. For example, in Saudi Arabia abayas have been a very big past of the Saudi culture, yet...
