Ethics history

 There has been 4 types of ethics since the concept was created, the first concept of ethics was created in 470-270 B.C and was called the Greco-Latin ethics in which philosophers began to reason about what good is and how it can be achieved, in here the first virtues were proposed and the ethical thinking began with socrates, thats why his known as the father of ethics and he tend to held the need to reflect what is good in order to do so. Then the Medieval ethics were created, during this time the church predominated so the point of view had to be linked to religion morals, and christian philosophy taught to love others as one should love oneself, after the Medieval ethics the modern ethics were created, in here Thomas Hobbes thought that a human can be a God or a wolf in society but this can be prevented when we are organized as a society, but also Benedict Spinoza believed that ethics should follow the method of natural science in which he identified good with pleasure, what he meant with this was that. we dont want things for being good, but its good because we want it, finally  Contemporary ethics were invented in here the central topic is freedom in which Soren Aabye mentioned that when human make decisions they do so in the middle of uncertainty and he considered that freedom allows humans to interact and become voluntarily good at the end. And thats how the concepts of ethics were created, what I consider interesting in all of the history of ethics its how concepts change with time because people change and eventually society changes so whats considered right and wrong also changes, so its funny how what we may consider normal or right in this moment maybe in a couple of years it´ll be considered wrong.4

death penalty in the U.S.A

  By definition death penalty is when a goverment or a state executes someone because he or she commited a capital crime also called a capital offense, since June 11 2020 death penalty is only allowed in 28 US states this is because death penalty has been proven to not be effective because death penalty doesnt deter crime more effectively than long terms imprisonment  and states that have death penalty laws do not have lower murder rates or crime rates than states without this laws; another bad side of death penalty is that its actually expensier than normal incarceration, death penalty costs around $1.26 million dollars mean while normal incarceration costs $740,000  thousend dollars.

Values and anti Values

  Values and anti values   In my short life I have come to learn the importance of values in our society, this is because with out them we wouldn’t be able know whats right and wrong,    but what intrigues my the most it’s    how depending on each person we tend    to have different priority of values depending on how we wear raced or what we have learned, for example for some people respect is the most important value in their life’s but for others maybe honesty is their priority, it intrigues me because it shows how we all have different opinions and that’s important because it shows how as we grow we define our values and how most of us try to make the best out of our lives with out damaging someone else, what I mean with damaging someone else it’s the part of anti values in which people decide to actually be mean and damage the society, that’s why it intrigued me so much as I mentioned, we all have different values and that’s what define us an...
