Thread: In this course you have spent a considerable amount of time

In this course you have spent a considerable amount of time studying metaethics, examining various ethical theories that promise to provide you with a methodology for determining right from wrong. These included a simple “list” metaethic, Virtue Ethics, Natural Law Ethics, Ethical Egoism,
Utilitarianism, Duty Ethics, and the Revelational Christian Ethic, as well as related metaphysical views such as Social Contract Theory, Moral Realism,
Divine Command Theory, and Divine Nature Theory.

Now it is time for you to decide for yourself how you are going to distinguish what is moral from what is immoral. Utilizing one or more of the theories that we studied (excluding moral relativism, which we have already determined is false). Please construct your own metaethical theory and present it to the class.

In a post of 500 to 600 words, systematically describe what you think is the best way to approach ethics.

Secondly, Your goal is to explain how we can know what makes an action moral or immoral. In doing this you must interact with the ethical theories that you have studied in class. Either adopting one of them or combining several of them that you believe to be complementary.

You may add additional elements that you have come across in your research from other assignments/readings. Be careful that you do not adopt theories that contradict one another.
In your thread, explain your theory and give a rationale for why you think yours is the best approach. Your argument(s) for your approach must be carefully-considered, logical arguments, not just “I feel like that would be best” or “that’s what I was raised to believe.”

Further, Do not stray into a lengthy discussion of applied ethics. Be sure that this assignment focuses strictly on metaethics. Save applied ethics for your next Discussion Board.

Additionally, Be sure to carefully define your terms. Also, You are to support your position with rational arguments, fitting examples, and expert sources. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format and will not count towards the total word count.

Role of UAE IN HUMAN RIGHTS. What UAE HAS DONE TO SUPPORT THEM.

Role of UAE IN HUMAN RIGHTS-What UAE HAS DONE TO SUPPORT THEM

According to human rights organizations, the government of the UAE violates a number of fundamental human rights. The UAE does not have democratically elected institutions. Also, citizens do not have the right to change their government or to form political parties.

There are reports of forced disappearances in the UAE. Many foreign nationals and Emirate citizens have been abducted by the UAE government and illegally detained and tortured. In numerous instances, the UAE government has tortured people in custody (especially expats and political dissidents) and has denied their citizens the right to a speedy trial and access to counsel during official investigations.

Flogging and stoning are legal forms of judicial punishment in the UAE due to Sharia courts. The government restricts freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The local media are to avoid criticizing the government, government officials or royal families. Freedom of association and freedom of religion are also curtailed.

Human rights in UAE

Despite being elect ed to the UN Council, the UAE has not signed most international human-rights and labour-rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) abuses many international human rights conventions and laws through a high intolerance of criticism leading to arbitrary arrests, its involvement in the war in Yemen and labour abuses towards migrant workers.

In fact, the Human Freedom Index 2017 ranked the UAE 116th out of 159 countries, behind Qatar and Lebanon. The UN also raised concerns about the human rights situation in the UAE in January 2018. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) issued a report highlighting the suppression of freedom of expression and the undue influence of executive authorities and security services on the judiciary.

Classic american literature on spheres ideology

This is an assignment that focuses on the classic american  literature on spheres ideology. The paper compares and contrasts two treatment divisions.

The classic american  literature on spheres ideology

P‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍lease choose one of the below topics about which to write a 5 pp., double-spaced critical essay in 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Please submit Microsoft Word files (or Google Docs, or Pages files) rather than PDFs.

The essay should be titled, paginated, and follow MLA or Chicago citation conventions, including a list of works cited. Eligible works include: “Leaves of Grass” by Walt Whitman, “The Wide, Wide World” by Susan Warner, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe, “Incidents in the life of a Slave Girl” by Harriet Jacobs, “Bartelby the Scrivener” by Herman Melville, “Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by Mark Twain, or any of the following Emily Dickinson Poems: Her breast is fit for pearls, “Faith” is fine invention, I’m wife; I’ve finished that’ Some keep the Sabbath going to Church, I like a look of Agony, There’s a certain Slant of light, I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,

They shut me up in Prose, I showed her Heights she never saw, I dwell in Possibility, I heard a Fly buzz – when I died, I started Early – Took my Dog, My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun, Publication – is the Auction, Tell all the truth but tell it slant.

Analysis

1.As we have seen, much of nineteenth-century American literature engages separate spheres ideology.  This is located women’s activity and authority within the private. Also,  domestic realm and that of men in the public realm of politics and the economy. a.Many of Emily Dickinson’s poems are rich with domestic imagery. Yet, Dickinson occasionally distances her speaker from the domestic sphere (as in Poems 656, 764). Herman Melville’s “Bartleby the Scrivener” similarly complicates separate spheres ideology. Although the story is set in a Wall Street office, Bartleby makes this space his home. Analyze the ways in which works by these white, middle-class authors critique and/or reinforce separate spheres ideology and, relatedly, conventional gender roles. In addressing these questions, focus on either two poems by Dickinson or on Melville’s story.

The classic american  literature on spheres ideology

Alternatively, you might compare and contrast Dickinson’s and Melville’s treatment of gendered divisions. b. As Harriet Jacobs suggests with her portrayal of Linda Brent’s grandmother in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. Separate spheres ideology had limited applicability outside white, middle-class households. How do nineteenth-century writers of color complicate and critique separate spheres ideology by portraying alternative kinds of home and family life? How might these Black or indigenous domesticities model alternative forms of American identity? (Keep in mind that there is, of course, no monolithic American identity; you will want to avoid referring to “the American identity”. Analyze the significance of alternative constructions of American identity.)

2. Secondly, analyze satire and/or irony in “Bartleby the Scrivener” or The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. How does Melville or Twain critique through tone? What role does humor play in such moments? Be sure to identify the object of Melville or Twain’s critique, and what precisely the critique is.

The classic american  literature on spheres ideology

3. In Leaves of Grass Walt Whitman proclaims himself “the poet of the body.” I‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍n fact, most of our nineteenth-century works call attention to embodiment. Predictably, these texts depict bodies in terms of race, gender, and sexuality. But these bodies are also pregnant, sick, hungry, injured, drunk, weak, dying, captive, hidden, displayed, violent, covered, or exposed – among myriad other corporeal states and conditions. (And sometimes bodies seem to disappear from our texts entirely!) Conducting close readings of one or two texts, analyze the significance of these embodied representations of American identity. (Keep in mind that there is, of course, no monolithic American identity; you will want to avoid referring to “the American identity” and instead analyze the significance of various corporeal manifestations of American identity.)

4. Lastly, conduct an analysis of the various versions of one of Dickinson’s poems — these may include fascicles, letter-poems, and/or different published editions. How do even slight editorial changes stabilize and/or distort meaning? Does Dickinson’s poetry offer multiple, even contradictory, interpretations? If so, how? If choosing this prompt, be sure to focus on poems that we did not analyze extensively in lecture: alternate versions of several poems are below.

Fourthly, Explain the rationale for your position. Support your response including any resources used in your argument.

More details;

From terrorist attacks to geopolitical posturing, if there is one industry that tends to find itself dragged onto the frontline of global security and cyber risks, it is aviation.

While flying has always been one of the safest ways to travel, thanks to its wide-ranging international regulatory frameworks, aviation incidents have an outsize impact on the public consciousness. From recent airport attacks in Brussels and Istanbul to the shooting down of MH17 over Ukraine, horrifying images are more powerful than reassuring statistics.

Emerging technologies, the changing character of war, a widening cast of actors and growing reliance on cyber are changing the nature of the threats – creating pressure on the industry to make sure it maintains its safety level, with the number of air travellers projected to nearly double in the next 20 years.

Here are some of four ways in which the likely evolution of the international security landscape over the coming years will affect aviation – and four recommendations for how the industry should react.

Firstly,  Technology is rapidly democratizing the ability to inflict large-scale damage.

Furthr, Attacks that would once have been within the purview of only a few major states are becoming conceivable for a much wider range of non-state actors and individuals.

Secondly, The merging of cyber and physical creates new vulnerabilities.

Also, The democratized capacity to wreak large-scale havoc is closely related to the merging of the virtual world with the physical: increasingly, remote attacks can cause serious real-world disruptions….
