Sherrice Iverson Case Study

154 Words1 Page

Question 1. After watching the two videos for this week. I do support Aristotle’s belief that there is an appropriate emotion to an experience. In reference to the Sherrice Iverson case, I would say that the appropriate emotion via virtue would be disgust or outrage. Upon discovering that someone felt “joy” or “excitement” upon hearing what happened to her, I would say that they were suffering ill thoughts as a result of their vice or possible negative character trait, if other factors add up. As our textbook states “A person who is cruel has a tendency or disposition to intentionally cause people to suffer, to want people to suffer, and to feel pleasure from causing suffering.” (P.116) Question 2. With regards to the thought-experiment, I

According to Mark Twain’s satirical essay, “The Lowest Animal”, he expresses “Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel.

    Discrimination and harassment are serious problems in the workplace today. People are discriminated against and harassed about their sex, religion, race, weight, handicap, etc. For me, these issues are very unethical, and that’s all there is to it. Really, what does a person or a business gain from committing these selfish acts towards others? I guess a laugh here and there from people listening in on the harassment of a co-worker.

  • Milgram's Obedience Experiments

    905 Words  | 4 Pages

    These two events let people act violently without judgement because after all they did not orchestrate the whole thing. Another important fact that supports this theory, is that participants administrated higher shock voltage when an experimenter was in the room. The obedient participants felt like the experimenter wanted them to act upon their already present violent thoughts (Miale and Selver, 2005). In the experiment, when an experimenter was not in the room participants administrated lower voltage shocks because they did not feel as confident to express their aggressive behaviors. So the counter argument here is not that normal people will be evil if put in an evil situation, but that evil people will express themselves freely in an evil

    A good reasoning is a reasoning that leads to certain, true and valid conclusions. There are two kinds of reasoning, inductive and deductive reasoning. Both processes include the process of finding a conclusion from multiple premises although the way of approach may differ. Deductive reasoning uses general premises to make a specific conclusion; inductive reasoning uses specific premises to make a generalized conclusion. The two types of reasoning can be influenced by emotion in a different manner because of their different process to yield a conclusion.

Milgram also lied about the experiments, informing his participants that the purpose of the experiment was to study about the effects of punishment on learning; however the real purpose of the experiment was to measure the obedience.

  • Similarities Between Comedy And Comedy

    1824 Words  | 8 Pages

    The conventions of tragedy and comedy, such as the tragedy in Oedipus Rex and the comedy in The Taming of the Shrew, can shape the way the play is developed. Thorough analysis can reveal these dramas to be discussions of human experience. As Laurence Olivier once said: “The office of drama is to exercise, possibly exhaust, human emotions. The purpose of comedy is to tickle those emotions into an expression of light relief; of tragedy, to wound them and bring relief of tears. Disgust and terror are the other points of the compass.”
