739 Words3 Pages

1) In November 2011 the House reaffirmed our national motto, “In God We Trust”. Do you agree or disagree with this decision? Does having this tagline on our currency say anything about our ethical beliefs as a society?
I agree with the decision that our national motto, “In God we Trust,” should remain on our currency because it is part of our country's foundation. A foundation supports so therefore as we trust in God, he is our support. On a personal note, when I glance at our currency and see the motto, it definitely helps me when going through difficult situations.

Why or why not?
I don't think religion should be taught in the public school system. Kids have many issues facing them already in public schools and adding different religious ideas will make things worst. It's too many religions and it could possibly confuse your child, especially if you're trying to raise your child in your belief. Kids are so vulnerable. As parents, train a child in the way he should go by instilling your beliefs in the home and at one's …show more content…

Does it mean making the most amount of money possible regardless of who is hurt in the process?
A true profession is one that exemplifies integrity, humility and care. They have a passion and focus that helps them achieve in their personal and professional lives. Being a true professional does not mean using unethical practices such as taking a customer for all they're worth or hurting others while trying to reach the top.
5) As Americans we, like all other countries in the world, hold “world citizenship.” As one of the most affluent countries in the world, do we have an ethical and moral obligation to help end world hunger? Why or why not? What ethics supports your point of view?
As Americans, I don't know if we can “end” world hunger but I believe we can help in some way. We should have an ethical and moral obligation just because we are an affluent country. I think utilitarianism would support this point of view. We ought to “act so as to produce the best consequences possible.”
6) In the US we have laws that prohibit the use of child labor and “sweat shops.” This however, is not the case everywhere in the world. Can an ethical and moral argument be made for the use of child labor? Please explain your

By 2030, food shortages are spreading all over the world, and even advanced nations are expected to face great disasters. Food, clothing and shelter element the requisites of our life, but failure to solve the most important food can cause a disaster. If the eating habits become difficult due to the reasons like global warming, and the price fluctuation resulting from this is getting worse, I worry that it will become the world where people living only with money will live. I was deeply sympathetic to the poverty eradication mentioned in chapter 11 of this book. The earth is now suffering from absolute hunger and its problems.

This statement is key because it displays how religious principals and characteristics promotes the protection for property, reputation, and life. Furthermore, without religion and its obligated principals, people will most likely abandon oaths, which are significant requirements in the justice system. Moreover, Washington wanted to express that if the people have integrity, honor, and commitment then they will be able to understand the meaning of respecting the laws and justice system. Also, how religion and its principles lead to the concept of morality and cannot be sustained without

Washington claims religion is a prerequisite for patriotism. Without religion, oaths sworn on the Bible would bear no weight. In essence, religion and the potential for an afterlife motivate the government (or the people who comprise it) and the governed to act in the best interest of the nation, rather than the individual. Ultimately, Washington’s Farewell invokes religion as the sole basis of morality, the foundation upon which American governance must lie in order to survive.

Our founding fathers based our nation upon certain core values. These values prompted men to take up arms to not obtain but defend them as well requiring some to make the ultimate sacrifice. These core values are liberty, individualism, equality and self-government.

It would be unfair to students as well as their parents. The majority of the United States’ children attend public schools, where they are surrounded by other students of different religious and philosophical beliefs. With the unbelievable diversity of American society, “it's important that our public schools respect the beliefs of everyone and protect parental rights” (Prayer and the Public Schools). Peer pressure is wide-spread within the country and with the diversity throughout our schools, religious influence from one student among another will not be difficult. Mixing prayer and religion in our public schools may construct barriers between children who have not before been exposed to religious differences.
