Human Nature: Plato And The Five Dialogues
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Is it possible, according to Plato's viewpoint, for human nature to be 'released from forms' and still be considered human nature according to the five dialogues between Socrates, Crito, Meno, Phaedo and Euthyphro? In assessing this plausibility, one must first harbor a distinct understanding of just what human nature represents in relation to man's actions. It has long been postulated that human nature is bound by defense mechanisms as a means by which to hide from the truth of reality. If this is so, then most any conduct in which humanity partakes is nothing more than an act of escapism. Is that to say, then, that human nature is bound by the weakness of man's character? Can individualism reside at the crux of why human nature cannot be released from form and still be construed as human nature based upon conversations with Socrates, Crito, Meno, Phaedo and Euthyphro?

Human Values: Importance, Rank and Roles
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing different human values and their importance in terms of individuals’ roles. The importance of different human values differs a great deal depending on the role of an individual and the priority given to values in relation to that role. Richard Wallis has defined a set of “five stem values” of right conduct, peace, truth, love and non-violence. Within each of the five stem values are additional sub-values which are also considered depending upon the role of an individual. Most individuals are family members and citizens and must therefore realize that the responsible values for such roles depend on their right conduct in addition to the value of love within a family situation. Employees and students however may feel that different values are more important in these roles in which case right conduct, truth and non-violence will lead not only to a reliable and dedicated worker but one who is aware of the respect for others within their working and school environments. The role of a friend differs again in regards to the most important values. Like family members, friends value love but they also value right conduct, truth, peace and non-violence in addition to care, consideration and generosity. Clearly, the voluntary role of a friend is one of the most important with one of the most comprehensive aspects of human value. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Humanity's Fate: Free Will Or Determinism?
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Is one's life determined or is it the result of free will? In establishing the answer to this question, it is essential that one understand the difference between the two representations. When one is cast forward by way of determinism, it is as though one has absolutely no control over the various and sundry occurrences that take place during one's life. Free will, on the other hand, speaks to the concept of having full authority over one's aspirations and ultimate direction, reflecting the exact opposite of those ruled by determinism. Having adequately grasped the meaning behind these divergent perspectives, it can easily be argued that life is one's own responsibility; instead of leaving all things up to fate, an individual has a significant influence upon his or her own existence. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
