Which in your opinion would be?
raolduke said:Without ethics then couldn't you say that Darwins theory would show its true colors?
raolduke said:I already agree with that. Its just to show that ethics can never be absolute. Not to say that you couldn't apply "ethical" to a properly working machine or system. This is just a little word fun but - Man vs. Machine, How would you explain society?. It works exactly how it wants (perfectly) with flaw.
raolduke said:Wouldnt humanity be better off if, to say, Hitler did accomplish his goal. It wouldn't seem that great at first but it would turn out nicer. The problem with people is that they expect home-runs right off the bat.
raolduke said:I am not to sure of Hitler’s theories, maybe you do, but population control means diversity would be eliminated. If the government was completely controlling (reference to Orwell inserted here) and if things ever degenerated to concepts like "newspeak" it would eliminate conversations like the one we are having now. We would be completely dull but in my opinion that wouldn't be such a bad thing.
To say that I am a sadist and I only practice my belief on people who feel pleasure from pain (masochists) - is there anything wrong with this?
Moridin said:raolduke, evolution or Darwin does not state that the strongest is the one that survives, it is the survival of the fittest, not strongest. Fittest in this concept is not the one that is the most well-trained individual, it just means that the individual best suited for survival will survive in a given environment. Evolution does not work towards a goal of better organisms on an absolute scale.
Ethics refers to the principles of right and wrong that govern an individual's behavior and decision-making. It involves considering the moral implications of one's actions and making choices that align with one's values and beliefs.
Ethics primarily applies to human situations because humans have the ability to reason and make conscious decisions based on moral principles. Animals, on the other hand, do not have the same level of cognitive abilities to understand and adhere to ethical standards.
Ethics play a crucial role in shaping societal norms and values. It helps to establish a moral code that guides individuals and groups in making responsible and ethical decisions. This, in turn, contributes to a more harmonious and just society.
Yes, ethics can be subjective as it is influenced by an individual's personal beliefs, values, and cultural background. What one person considers ethical may not align with another person's perspective. However, there are also universal ethical principles that are widely accepted by society.
We can apply ethics in our daily lives by being mindful of our actions and their potential impact on others. This involves considering the consequences of our choices, treating others with respect and fairness, and upholding moral values such as honesty and integrity. It also involves being open to learning and reflecting on our ethical beliefs and behaviors.
