He who is Moral Morality is the science of what man is supposed to be by virtue of what he is. It is the fine line between right and wrong‚ also synonymous with "goodness" or "rightness." However‚ what is “good” or “right” is subjective to a man’s body of standards or principles and beliefs. Man by nature is moral for he is responsible for his actions; he possesses intellect‚ conscience and will. Man is a rational being for he is capable of processing logical thoughts. He can receive knowledge and

Man Becomes Who He Is Aristotle discusses two different claims in Nichomachean Ethics that seems to have no connection. Aristotle’s "proper function of man‚" which is an activity of the soul in relation with the rational principle‚ does not seem to connect with his later claim that‚ "men become just by performing just actions and self-controlled by practicing self-control‚" but the connection is made by Aristotle suggesting that the actions of man’s soul‚ the nonphysical part of man or what

In Judeo-Christian mythology‚ one of the best recognized stories from the Old Testament is the story of Noah and the Ark‚ and how they survived God’s great flood. This story is a common one throughout many mid-east cultures‚ both past and present. The most notable of these is in the ancient Mesopotamian mythology‚ with the story of Utnapishtim and his story of survival of the gods wrath. Though both are telling what is assumed to be a tale of the same event‚ there are many similarities as well as

Response to “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” by Richard Wright The statement‚ "Well‚ boy‚ looks like yuh done bought a dead mule!” really struck a chord with me in this story. It seemed like such a frustrating‚ unfair comment. I think everyone has experienced some kind of unfairness in their life. For Dave‚ it was that he was a severely unpaid negro worker who‚ in a burst of young stupidity‚ shot Mr. Hawkins’s mule and is told he has to purchase the dead mule as an act of recompense.
