Blog #11 - Ethics Wrap Up


Dilemma:

You work in an office space where you have been in the same role for the past 6 years, you realized you can get the boss fired and take his place, your pay would skyrocket but at the same time, you would not be able to maintain standards and the company will fail. You would get the biggest compensation of $500, 000 but everyone else in the company would have to walk away empty-handed and jobless. What would you do?

Devine Command Theory: this is a concept where you do what would be wanted by a supreme power that is tied to religion, faith, and beliefs. We understand that in this case, the company would be out of business, but that company may be forcing people into acts they do not believe in and that we can consider that there is the reason for the current boss to be thrown out.

Unilateralism: the idea that wants the greatest amount of good for the most amount of people. Obviously, if you do become the boss and everyone loses their jobs does not sound like a good idea. Assuming the company is a group of 10people than you can divide your new wealth by 10 and everyone gets $50, 000 people or even a 100 people were in the company then everyone got $10,000. Still, this money is enough for everyone to live for a little while.

Deontology: the idealism that if everyone did such a thing how would the world be, assuming that you get the man fired, the world's economies would fall, as with such consequences companies will begin to drop like the plague and soon everyone will be out of jobs the suddenly when all their severance get used, there will be no economy. Then if we all stayed quiet and let our managers do whatever they want, they will be able to exploit their position and suck every penny they can out of a company. Everything will soon become like capitalism on steroids where the system that is designed to keep the poor remaining poor and the rich stay rich. It’s a trap and had for anyone to break off.

Blog #4 - Somatic Marker Theroy

Simple, we have an amazing ability to make opinions based on emotions. The somatic marker theory suggests that we can remember ideas, feelings, and emotions to particular events and situations that make us formulate opinions on the situation. The way we interact with the world, stimuli refer to our senses, (sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing) these are the sensory processes that tell the brain what to think in response to an Input, of which would be a situation (eating cake, being in a car crash), then the brain is the central processor that decides for an action, the brain does this thousands of times a day. In the end, it outputs out a motor process of in this case is an active memory, so when the same memory is repeated in life it can kick out the same motor response of emotion and reaction. By definition, we can say it is 'The link between emotions and decisions making. Damasio concludes that your choices are steered by your emotions.' - Our psychol

Blog #2 – How long can a global language last?

Try to imagine a world with only one language. Everyone speaks and refers to the same language, the same set of words and references. The impact it would have on the world is quite simple and positive, although it can easily have a lot of negative impacts. To talk about language, you need to understand where language comes from . Language comes from cultures and how we live our lives. It often comprises of short terms and half ideas that are perceived as whole thoughts because the person being spoken to would have come from the same the same social background. If the same sentence was spoken to someone with the completely different background they would not understand a thing. For example, if I said, ‘let’s get an Uber and hit up a Pizza Hut’. To someone in a modern city like Las Angeles, everyone will understand right away. If you said it to someone in sub-Saharan Africa they would not understand a thing. You would need to first explain what Uber is, a car, the internet, the p

Blog #5 - Look at emotions article - responce

Emotion. To what extent can we trust what is true? To elaborate on that, our emotions have a bad habit to recognize situations, judge and create feelings in an instant. Leading us to believe things we think are the correct but are far from. The article uses a great example where ‘Lisa’ goes on a date with a coworker, she agrees because of the stress of work. She thinks she likes him because she is a data with him when she does not even know him that well. The proposition forms the text describes a situation where we can mistake an infection for “love”. That sensation like anger, anxiety, hunger or illness is not as distinct that I might first assume, how we take that information and misinterpret them with the situation to creates a file of memory that we refer back to alone. In my own interpretation, I don’t think she is in love with the man. I don’t think that he is significant in any way to her. She is not in love with him, in fact, she is in love with what he
