I have spent their lives teaching them to manage their emotions, be careful of their words, and think before acting. Yet, I did none of those things. Irrationally, I allowed my emotions to control my words and actions and the result was the exact opposite of what we desired, for my niece to stop screaming. Hypocritically, I told my children to behave as I say not as I do, something I despised in my childhood. After we had all calmed down, I apologized to my mother, niece and children individually. I realized that my responses were inappropriate and vowed to do my best in the future to avoid a repeat of this occurrence. Sincerely, I promised my mother that I would not interfere with her discipline as I would not want her to interfere with mine. Carefully, I explained to my niece that while I understood what upset her, it was not appropriate to behave the way she behaved. Then, we discussed other options she could use to handle her feelings in the future and offered to take her to purchase a new toy. While I knew I could never replace her father, but I could present her with something special that was just for her. Finally, I promised my children I would behave the way I wanted them to and explained the importance of showing them what I expected from them. In the future, I believe I will handle these events much more

A conscience is known as an inner feeling or voice that acts as a guideline for the morality of one’s behaviour. In Lorna Dueck’s “Why conscience (or lack of it) is in the news”, she portrays the purpose of a conscience in an individual’s decisions and actions. Dueck questions individual’s conduct then provides solutions to achieve a better world. She includes other sources to strengthen her argument on how one’s conscience reflects their behaviour. As well, Dueck uses a logical perspective to convince the audience the importance of a morally shaped conscience.

I have chosen Into Thin Air for my project because the main theme of this novel is Danger and Morality. I feel as there’s danger and morality in my city and around the world, with the natural events occurring. Into Thin Air is a great work of literature because of Krakauer’s use of imagery and symbolism to describe the situation of the mountain. Also, the plot is exciting, and it leaves the reader in shock on each page. The writer tells it as it is.

This paper will attempt to summarize and explain the essay How to Argue about Disagreement: Evaluative Diversity and Moral Realism by John M. Doris and Alexandra Plakias. They claim that moral realism has a problem with its assertion that all disagreement is superficial, and would not persist under ideal conditions. They cite an experiment by Nisbett and Cohen in 1996 where there seems to be a fundamental disagreement between northern and southern white American men surrounding acceptable violence. Moral realism is the philosophical idea that morality is based in objective fact.

“Our conscience is a measure of our honesty of our selfishness” (Richard Bach). As people go through their days, they make millions of decisions with the help of that little voice in their head that tells the difference between right or wrong: the conscience. The conscience is sometimes called the moral compass, not only because it points us toward what is right, but also because the holder of the compass must choose whether or not to follow the direction it is pointed. Macbeth’s decision to kill Duncan teaches us what happens when we ignore our consciences, which steer us towards what is right, because our conscience is a voice to help us resist temptation.

Morality is the principle concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. One is not born with the ability to make moral and immoral judgements. Instead, as one progresses through life, they come across situations in which they are put to the test and must develop a system of values and principles of conduct. For example, one’s sense of morality might be tested should they find themselves in one of the following situations: “you pass someone in the street who is in severe need and you can help them at little cost to yourself,” or “Someone you have never met needs a kidney transplant. You are one of the few people who can provide the kidney” (Morality Play).

It is really useful to ask concept checking questions after giving instructions to ensure that everyone understands, and then if necessary, repeat the instructions in a different way. Children just like adults, have good and bad days. Sometimes, a problem at home that you aren’t aware of can cause children to be withdrawn and moody.

We can show we care and respect their feelings by giving them space to come to terms with their emotions and

Young children may not express their emotions in words, but their actions sometimes say just as loudly, 'Isn 't it about time somebody stopped me! ' or 'It 's so reassuring to know you 'll step in and help us '. Children need to know 'where they are ' and to have a sense of their boundaries that is, what is and is not allowed in any setting.
