A Reflection on “a Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’connor
On my first reading of this story, I initially felt the fear frequently seen in grandmothers in confronting danger and how they try to convince us to stay away from it: “The Misfit is a loose from the Federal Pen and headed toward Florida and you read here what it says he did to this people….”, the grandmother said. As I have experienced in the past, once a Mom and Dad have made a decision

Cloning Reflection Paper
Luke Smith Week 5 Assignments Cloning 1. I have to say I believe it is absurd that we find the need to try to clone human beings.

Kant Vs. Grotius
It seems that Kant has a much more conservative view towards lying and when it is permissible. Grotius has a much more liberal, modern, and understanding view on the issue. Kant pretty much thinks that it is one's duty to speak the truth, although this moral principle is not taken unconditionally in the world today. This is a duty because it is every man's right to know the truth and lying to anyone would be

Kant's Dialectic Limitations
Kant's Dialectic Limitations "Mathematics, natural science, laws, arts, even morality, etc., do not completely fill the soul; there is always a space left over reserved for pure and speculative reason, the emptiness of which prompts us to seek in vagaries, buffooneries, and mysticism for what seems to be employment and entertainment, but what actually is mere pastime undertaken in order to deaden the troublesome voice of reason, which, in accordance with its nature, requires something

Mark My Words: A Reflection
Mark My Words: A Reflection Common sense is a disappearing art form not only from business but also from society. It used to be that students seeking a higher education would go to school to build around their common sense. Today students go to school in the hopes of attaining common sense.

First Reflection
Unquestionably, negotiation occurs almost everyday of my life. Without realizing, I happened to be involved in a process where interested parties resolve disputes while bargaining for individual/group advantage and attempt to craft outcomes. When two people have the similar objective with different mindsets, we tend to compromise the differences. However, conflicts arise if incompatible goals are reached. This happens to me depending on the cooperation and competition situations that occur in generating “creative tension”. Cooperation

Kant Theory
n any functioning society, a system of morals must be present to establish what is right and wrong. Nearly everything in a community is at least loosely based on a code of morals: laws, traditions, government policies, and even simple relationships, such as business transactions. Without such a system society would crumble, since daily operations depend so heavily on shared ethics. In the U.S., a Judeo-Christian ethic largely dominates the culture, but problems still arise.
