Captain Rockwood And Haiti: Military Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Captain Rockwood experienced a collision between conscience and duty, a test of one's moral constitution from which no human can escape unscathed; if the issue at hand is so daunting as to erect such a pillar of doubt, while at the same time drive one to contemplate the validity of its importance over and above one's personal conflict, then there can be no question as to the legitimacy of hesitation. From childhood and throughout his learning years, Rockwood felt an entirely different calling than the one that expected him to carry forth the family's military tradition. Indeed, the humanitarian empathy in him exuded from the apex of his entire being; how, then, could a man who at one time trained to be a priest be expected to ignore the calling of blatant barbarity?

Character Education in the Public Schools
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper discussing the “dangerous” ground of including moral education in the public schools. Among those schools that have been most successful in achieving impressive academic gains has emerged a paradox: academic excellence does not emerge in an atmosphere void of personal responsibility and dedication to the work at hand. Nor does it thrive in the environment in which there is no cooperative effort or attention to helping peers. It seems that we had to abandon values in order to realize their relative worth. As public schools are called to accountability for results as never before, there is also much more attention to character education. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Charles Taylor's "The Ethics Of Authenticity": Modernity
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Charles Taylor condones the notion of progress – it is just the residual effect that modernity creates that has him rather perturbed. In his book entitled "The Ethics Of Authenticity," Taylor weighs the quest of modernity to the fundamental aspects of being humane by questioning the very actions by which people have come to live their lives. The writer discusses how Taylor employs three malaises that effectively pose his concerns of a society gone awry from the influence of modernity: the comprehensive and far-reaching loss of meaning, the postulation that values have taken a back seat to personal conquest and the doubtful existence of a healthy self-government due to the presence of special-interest politics, with particular attention focuses on the first two.
