Ethics: concepts, principles, and contemporary applications

Ethics

In any case a person decides to perform the same actions there is tendency for the brain to learn this pattern of behavior therefore setting up a pathway. Such pathway tends to be more efficient means for the brain to process the routine, as opposed to a new series of discreet tasks, and this is habit. After a habit has been formed, it becomes so hard for the person to freely stop continuing with the same habit not unless change of that habit is forced on the individual.

Even though some people might decide to change their habits without coercion, it does not apply to majority. Many who change their habits without being forced in several occasion you will find that their formed habit has ended them in negative side of life or a situation making them to have no option but stop the habit. Therefore it is essential for the change of habit to be forced on them before they end in trouble or on a bad scenario.

Some people may argue that change of habit forced on an individual at times may not be permanent and one may just pretend when he or she is in a constraining environment but when he or she finds a free environment they can still continue with the same habit. Therefore it is much important for an individual to be explained for thoroughly reasons as to why the habit should be changed until she or he sees the sense and voluntarily alters the behavior.

Once I had developed a habit of smoking, my parents were not pleased with this since they were not smoking and they were really terrified of the effects it could cause on my health. They tried talking to me to change the habit but it did not bear fruit. They had no option but to force that change on me. Many restrictions were put on me like my parents took the car which they had given me and some other help they were giving me insisting that on stopping the smoking habit I would get them back. It forced me to stop smoking so as to get my normal life privileges and afterwards I realized that my being forced to change my habit was of great importance to me.

A person will easily change a habit depending on how long the habit has been in practice. For instance when somebody is young in the habit it easy for that individual to change the habit alone but if the habit has been developed for such a long time it will take this individual such a long time so that he or she change the habit. Such people are supposed to be studied closely so that they are understood better before taking action. Generally, the voluntary change of habits is easier and more effective and permanent as compared to imposition of the change.

On the part of the second question, for a candidate to be the favorite to the voters he or she has to be scrutinized thoroughly in terms of his or her character as well as other factors by voters and it has to be to the satisfactory standards to them for one to be elected by the majority. When we consider how president Barack Obama came into power which many saw as mystery, we find that his Presidential and conduct was scrutinized relentlessly especially by FOX website so that voters know about his character and conduct, Deborah (August, 2008).

When they were exploring his history of Chicago, much emphasis was on Tony Rezko who was a prominent person in FOX's extra info list providing his indictment copy which is an investigative report from Chicago Sun Times. On completing building up strong suggestions of the guilt of Obama, it was concluded by Bill Hemmer that Obama had done nothing illegal.

Friendship of Obama to Sohale Siddiqi whom he had met when he was leaving home for the first time at the age of 18 to attend Occidental College became a big deal at the time of documentary. They indicated that Obama visited Pakistan when he was 20 to visit the family of Siddiqi. They gravely explored their rooming in New York when Obama got there alone, homeless, broke to go to Columbia. He wrote the way he was forced to sleep on the streets for some nights and waking up in an alley with a chicken pecking at him. This was being used to connect Obama with world of drug as was claimed that alley was situated in a rough neighborhood that is being run by Dominican drug lords. However this turned to be viewed in a positive perspective.
