duty as a citizen to keep the government in check. i.e. using your right to vote and or to protest. it overrides say, loyalty, because what if the government is persecuting Jews on a mass scale? (Germany 1939)

government is made for the people, and it is the citizen's duty to make sure it is doing it's job. john Locke is a good example of this.

The Universal Ethical Principle - the set of moral values and practices common to all human societies and at all periods - was first investigated by the American anthropologist Donald E Brown in 1988.

Since Brown's first publication, none of his discoveries have been refuted (and several strong new claims have been developed).

But be careful how you use this knowledge: Brown's work has been controversial among traditionalist ethical philosophers, femininist, pedagogues, religious leaders - and anyone else who has a vested interest in the ethical ideas of the last century but one.

who challenged the assumption that ethical behavior comes at the expense of economic efficiency

Scapegoating is when a person (an individual, a country's leader, a politician) or an entire society places the blame for a social problem on a particular group, even though that group is really not the main cause of the problem. For example, Adolph Hitler scapegoated the Jews and blamed them for all of Germany's economic problems. Currently, in many countries, people are scapegoating immigrants (whether legal or undocumented), and in certain countries, a particular tribe or ethnic group is scapegoated, often leading to civil unrest.

While it is certainly true that some individual members of a group may have contributed to a problem, scapegoating places the blame squarely on the entire group and often encourages prejudice or even hatred of that group. Political leaders, especially those in countries where there is no freedom of thought, often use scapegoating to distract from the country's real problems and keep the public busy by giving them a group at whom they can safely direct their anger. The problem of scapegoating is it leads to no solutions-- it just promotes a culture of blame; it can sometimes lead to violence, and it rarely results in positive change.

The humanist beliefs affect the way they live their lives in so many ways. These are people who believe that you can live a good life without any religious beliefs. This makes it difficult to tell good from bad since everyone sets their own standards.

Accuracy and attention to detail is important is to make sure you follow what is expected from you and do not miss out anything as this will spoil your whole work.

"Living well is the best revenge." Treat them with love. You may be wondering WHY? Well, 2 things will happen: 1 - they will get suspicious and become more annoyed 2 - they may eventually become your friends (thus, no more enemies!!)

Not necessary.

There are no ethical concerns unless its causing hindrance or not sanctioned by the party which is being surveyed.

The only ethical issues are compliance with the policy of the organization and consent of the parties involved while conducting the questionnaire based research.

One can hire control groups to check the effectiveness of the survey on the chosen sample

Before civilizations were present we were hunters and gatherers. For the most part the women were the gatherers and the men were the hunters. Women were the first to come across Mushrooms, Peyote, and every other plant.

The men while hunting used the feces from the bovine animals to track them. Many times finding feces that was old which happen to have mushrooms growing from it. Eventually after some time, perhaps thousands of years of ingesting mushrooms for the first time, we eventually grew in logic and reasoning skills.

You see, there was no TV 145,000 years ago, so for well over 100,000 before we existed as a species, the precursors to our own species, our ancestors, took mushrooms as they sat around the camp fires for hours being occupied with brightly colored visions much like the television does today!

I don't think it is something you should randomly go out and do, but in some circumstances i would say so. for example, war. but don't think that if you ever hurt someone's child that their parent wouldn't come and hunt you down.

You have to answer the prompt. We can't answer this for you. We don't do homework.

The 1980 Olympic games in Moscow were boycotted by the US and several other countries because of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afganistan.

The 1984 Olympic games in Los Angeles were boycotted by the Soviet Union and several other countries basically as payback for the previous boycott.

Difficult to describe in theory, but there are instances. One of the most recent ones there is. There was this guy named : Manjunath Shanmugham (27), an IIM-Lucknow alumnus and employee of Indian Oil Corporation, who was killed in Lakhimpur Kehri on 19 November, allegedly over his drive to PREVENT adulteration of petrol. The news sent shock waves across the country. His actions and the reasons for his demise characterize what we term as Ethical Leadership. It also is a very contemporary and relevant form of management that intends to address the need of the present day society and business alike, with a difference in the outcome, supposedly. Long live your idealogy and the values you stood for, dear Manju.

it is the cognitive response to the brain user needs to what the response of the human centigrade can be in relation to Microsoft for example. In relation to psychology it has an bone to free to five ratio of X to the y. The best way to deal with this kind of question is to ask frank he knows

Many individuals have personal issues which might be addressed. For instance, some individuals might have underlying issues dealing with betrayal, trust, or abandonment. Other individuals may have personal issues dealing with parents, children, or friends. Most qualified psychologists or psychiatrists can help individuals with their personal issues.

There are a number of bad things the government does for the people. Some of them include imposing high taxes, offering poor leadership and not enhancing good relations with other countries among others.

I suppose it does depend upon the situation of the matter. how can you make an ethical judgment without considering the situation itself.

Joseph Fletcher was a main contributer within situation ethics as I studies during my A levels and as he believed, you can only judge by concluding the consequences. I rememeber an example used (A very minor exapmle, but nevertheless it works)...

"If you saw an old lady being mugged not far from you, and you believed you could help her, would going across the grass with a sign saying 'DO NOT WALK ON GRASS' be wrong if it meant being the quickest possible way of getting to her aid?"

so basically, doing a minor wrong action can help for a greater good. It is strongly based on looking out for anothers well being even if it means doing something that you shouldn't, or wouldn't normally do.

Also look into utilitarianism, which in summary is doing the action which creates the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people. All these theories suggest that Ethics is judged by a situation :)

I hope this helps!

One of the clearest examples of compassion is Mother Theresa. As she cared for the poor and sick in the leper colonies of Calcutta, India, someone once told her "I wouldn't touch those leper for one million dollars. Her reply was, neither would I." She spent her life serving the rejects of society. She was truly a person of compassion. Compassion is defined as "the feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering." Mother Theresa modeled this with her life. You can read more about her at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Theresa

Ethics are moral principles, and a general sense of what is right. Law is encoded by societies worldwide and reflects societal values. The two often intersect, as many laws are founded upon ethical principles.

Writing was/is important in ancient civilizations on two fronts. First of all, it was important to the ancients because that was how they kept their records, and their histories. It is important to us, because it gives us insights into their societies, laws, and sometimes into their likes and dislikes. In other words, we get to know them through their writings.
