It is this play that made me think, that .....

Cross-Cultural Ethics
Words: 2250 - Pages: 9.... of thought and action. Culture tends to be pervasive, touching every aspect of life. The pervasiveness of culture is manifest in two ways. First, according to Jones, culture provides an unquestioned context within which individual action and response take place.

Chivalry
Words: 988 - Pages: 4.... is a lot like ethics; it is a
governing principle concerning fair play as far as medieval combat among your
peers was concerned. Do not attack an unarmed knight - allow him to arm himself
first, if you unhorse your opponent and your opponent is still able to fight,
get off your horse to fight, etc. - fair play with honor and respect. At the end,
there still was a winner, and the winner ended up with more respect and
admiration from those concerned that had he fought without chivalry. What am I
getting at? Capitalism can be much the same way. American businesses have taken
advantage of this system though, a system that one can cheat i .....

[T]he male machine is a special kind of being, different
from women, children and men who don’t measure up. He is
functional, designed mainly for work. He is programmed
to tackle jobs, override obstacles, attack problems, overcome
difficulties, and always seize the offensive. He will take
on any task that can be presented to him in a competitive
framework and his most important positive reinforcement
is victory. (Warhol 40)

Justice

envy makes equality. When we wish for "personal equality" with people, we wish
to deny what we really are and allow for superficialness. We become so obsessed
with our possessions that we forget who we are and the beauty of our differences.
Aristole said that "it is unjust to treat unequal things equally". All people
