Personal journal entries: The Foundations and Philosophy of Ethics.
Observation
Philosophy has been one of the most interesting subjects to me since it helps stretch the imagination as well as the creativity of the reader to see the various perspectives to a subject. I set out to understand the arguments made in this article and it came out that Lawrence Kohlberg emphasizes on the importance of moral reasoning in decision making process. He bases his argument of moral reasoning on an earlier philosopher called Piaget who was a pioneer of moral reasoning. Lawrence indicates that there are three levels of moral reasoning; the pre-conventional morality which is common among children and bases the morality of an action on the consequences. The other is conventional Morality which is based on the social rules and norms. The last is the Post-conventional morality which bases morality on the intrinsic values of an individual.
Interpretation
The material caught my attention in the manner in which it presents the various approaches that a daily common challenge can be approached and solved. It also opened up my eyes to the fact that what could be moral in the societal judgment may not necessarily be legal sand at the same time what may be legal may not be moral as was the case with slave trade. I also realized that moral reasoning is all about how people ought to conduct themselves and not how they are used to conducting themselves. In the past and even present, immoral actions have been justified on the grounds that they are legal.
Application
The lessons in this unit highly applies to my life as a student since this is the time that I come to learn of the legal aspects of our constitution. It is also the time that I come to meet a lot of different approaches to issues with the morality and ethics being the key concerns. It is also the time that I make decisions that will affect my present and my far future life. Here, I need to know how to use the moral reasoning to guide my daily decisions.

Yet Ana and her family also sought the intervention of traditional doctors or curanderos. The curandero provides services that a Western doctor cannot: the cleansing ceremony referred to in the case study is a perfect example of differences in attitudes toward health care. A healing ceremony performed by a curandero is not likely to harm the infant and in fact may prove beneficial at least to the parents' and
Ethics Statement I base my personal ethics on the rights and responsibilities lens from the Four Ethical Lenses. This lens focuses on the key questions such as: What rules and duties must we follow? And What rights are relevant? This standard of ethics is rooted in deontological ethics, where our actions are guided by our sense of right and wrong, and that sense is in turn guided by society's standards. Consider the aspect
The question arising from this claim is whether evidence exists to prove that there exists an infinitely good, powerful, and wise God where morality naturally emerges. Humes argues that is hard to imagine that an all-good, powerful God exists in this world full of pain and misery. From these claims, one can argue that this insight, or God, has both evil and good, as is present in man if
Ethics and Professional Behavior The American court system is one that has existed as long as the constitution has been in existence. They are provided for in the constitution of the U.S.A.
