My Observation

ESSAY 1

Write a 150-word Observation by telling us about your answer to this ethics question:

You are a Commissioner on the County Board, elected to decide how county tax money shall be spent. The county can make one big expenditure, on a new building, during the next ten years. Your county needs a new middle school for the kids, and a new jail for the prisoners. The old jail is falling apart, and probably has big security problems. The old school is falling apart, and probably is getting unsafe for the children in it.

Problem: You can’t build both. They cost the same amount of money. You can only pick one.

Tell us which one you would vote for, and WHY.  Be sure to use utilitarian reasons for your answer.

The idea behind any morally wrong or right action depends upon its outcomes. However, sometimes a person has to choose between two actions that are constructing good outcomes. In that case, a person has to compare the results of both of the actions. By giving the value to the outcomes, an individual will choose one action. Likewise, from the above-given options, I will choose to build a school. As education plays a greater role in building the future of a nation. Building a school is making the future brighter for generations of generations. As per the Utilitarian theory, moral standards demand more positive things in the world that make life better. School in comparison to prison is more constructive. It helps in development and also promotes happiness in the society. People will feel better to see new schools whereas building a prison is like adding pain and unhappiness to society.

2. Write a 150 word Observation by telling us about your perception of the respect for human rights in other countries. Do you view the world as mostly unable to respect human rights, across too many countries around the world?  Describe your perspective on global rights today, and your list of human rights that appear to be ignored most frequently in too many countries.

Human rights are the basic rights of an individual, given to him or her at birth regardless of class, gender, religion, origin, and language. Every individual has the right to live freely and express his or her opinions independently. Likewise, the United Nations plays an essential role in the provision of Human Rights throughout the world, under the International Human Rights Law. As a result, many countries around the globe are making progress in ensuring human rights within their boundaries. Still, there are some areas where people and communities are suffering because of human rights abuses. At the same time, some countries have restricted the freedom of expression. People are not allowed to speak openly. There are illegal detentions and unfair trails across the countries. Women and children are suffering from oppression. Many people have been displaced from their homes and countries. Violation and killings are common nowadays, terrorism is taking away the right to live from people.
