I think that compassion plays a role in the design of ethical standards for biogenetics and genetic manipulation, it may not be a huge role but it is in peoples minds and they take everything into consideration when making these rules. Compassion plays a role because when they are making these ethical rules they are looking at all the sides. They are looking to see if there will be long term effects and if there are would it be right…
I think that the first draft is all about the process of writing it and not about the product. Lamott talks about how in the first draft all you have to do is write, just get something down on the paper. Some of the things that you write will be used in the second draft and they help tell you where you want to go with the paper but you are going to edit the first draft so it really…
The keys to developing an ethics apart from religion would be seeing where your motivations lie, the short and long term consequences, if you are doing something for the greater good of humanity or to further yourself, your moral reasoning. These points are all aspects of ethics that we need to be looking at especially when it comes to the genome and new genetic technology. The most important part of these ethical ideas would be why are you doing this and…
My revision strategy is that I need to make my thesis more easily placed and worded so that people will understand what is my thesis. Also under the conversation heading for the checklist I put a maybe for providing context for my quotes and if they paraphrase what the paragraph is saying. So I need to work better on explaining what my quotes mean and how they go with my ideas. In the writer as driver heading it talks about…
One peer suggestion was that I could give some background on Yoshino and Hallward to give them credit like I did with Davis in the second paragraph. This suggestion was helpful because it allows me to get credit to those people where credit is due and it makes my paper better as well. I will work this idea into my paper by giving background when I first talk about Yoshino and Hallward. Another observation from the peer editing was that…
Dr. Angela Davis has spent years trying to eradicate social inequalities and injustice, she has come a very far way with all the changes she has made. Two of the people that we have been talking about in class are Kenji Yoshino and Anne Hallward. They have been talking about shame and the new civil rights. Many of their point would go with Davis’s point of injustice and social inequality, they may not be as straight forward as Davis’s points…
Covering concepts might assume too quickly that individuals behaving in “mainstream” ways are hiding some true identity. When really they might just be behaving as themselves. For example when a woman is either fixing her bike or fixing her flat tire, there are people who think they are doing this to look more masculine but in reality they are just fixing what is broken. Or even how we dress is a topic of gender performance, there are girls that are…
How telling our silenced stories can change the world by Anne Hallward was a Ted talk that we watched in class and had to annotate. Hallward had many claims that were in her talk, but I think one of the most important claims was that ” shame is a lethal health treat”. Hallward says that “shame is essentially at the heart of everything,”, it is at the heart of depression because you feel unworthy and she even says it’s at…
Kenji Yoshino’s article ” The New Civil Rights” is about how civil rights are not an independent achievement it is what everyone will benefit from. Yoshino also talks about how an individual has two selves, and they work together to better that person. The True self and the False self. Just like how people need to find something that everyone has in common to benefit them, the human ‘soul’ does the same. The True self is what gives the individual…
