| ARTICLES RELATED TO Core issues in ethics | | | |  Core issues in ethics: Encyclopedia II - Reality - What reality might not be"Reality," the concept, is contrasted with a wide variety of other concepts, largely depending upon the intellectual discipline. It can help to understand what we mean by "reality" to note what we say is not real.
In philosophy, reality is contrasted with nonexistence (e.g., unicorns do not exist; so they are not real) and mere possibility (a mountain made of gold is merely possible, but is not real) unless they are discovered. Sometimes philosophers speak as though reality is contrasted with existence itself, though ordinary l ...

| | | | | Core issues in ethics: Encyclopedia II - Racial purity - Racial purity vs. Genetic diversity While some people want to preserve the "racial purity", others think that, quite contrary, it is desirable to increase genetic diversity of human populations, arguing that it would increase the range of talents available to society. They also argue that it would improve the overall health of populations due to heterosis (or "hybrid vigor"), although no empirical evidence for this has been presented. The benefits of heterosis have been established in very many cases in the plant and animal kingdoms. There is no reason to assume that humans are an excep ...

| | | | | Core issues in ethics: Encyclopedia II - Labour economics - Marxian economics In Marxian economics, the aim of labour economics is to provide insight and guidance for the optimal allocation of co-operative human labour. However, this optimality is not simply viewed as a "technical variable" as in micro-economics, because workers are not simply a "factor of production", but human beings who organise themselves and each other. Forms of labour co-operation can be oppressive, irrational and exploitative, or they can be beneficial, rational, or effective. That is to say, labour economics has a political dimension insofar as different workers and employers have different interests. There is a w ...

| | | | | | | Core issues in ethics: Encyclopedia II - Racialism - Distinguishing from racism While "racism" refers both to individual attitudes and group behaviour, "racialism" usually implies the existence of a social or political movement. Supporters of racialism say that "racism" implies racial supremacism and a harmful intent, whereas "racialism" indicates a strong interest in matters of race without these connotations. Instead, their focus is on "racial pride", identity politics, and / or racial segregation. Organisations such as NAAWP insist on these dis ...

| | | | | Core issues in ethics: Encyclopedia II - Equity - Distinction between law and equity In modern practice, perhaps the most important distinction between law and equity is the remedies each offers. The most common remedy a court of law can award is money damages. Equity, however, enters injunctions or decrees directing someone either to act or to forebear from acting. Often this form of relief is in practical terms more valuable to a litigant. A plaintiff whose neighbor will not return his only milk cow, which wandered onto the neighbor's property, for example, may want that particular cow back and not just its monetary value. ...

| | | | | | Core issues in ethics: Encyclopedia II - Evil - Judaeo-Christian religions In the Hebrew Scriptures, evil is related to the concept of sin — "sin" translated in Hebrew is chata which means "missing the mark" (a term from archery). Evil is defined in Thomistic metaphysics as the absence of a "good" which could and should be present; it is a lack of something that should be present. The evil of gluttony, for example, is marked by the results of obesity. The goodness that is missing in the glutton is self discipline and temperance. The results of evil are usually experienced as evil over the long term but may be experienced as short term "goods". ...

Betrayal - Defining betrayal.
Rodger L. Jackson, author of the article, The Sense and Sensibility of Betrayal: Discovering the Meaning of Treachery Through Jane Austin, writes that "there has been surprisingly little written about what we even mean by the term". In psychology, practitioners describe betrayal as the breaking of a social contract; however, critics of this approach claim that the term social contract does not accurately reflect the conditions and motivations for, and effects of, betray ...

| | | | | Core issues in ethics: Encyclopedia II - Reality - Reality, world views, and theories of reality A common colloquial usage would have "reality" mean "perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes toward reality," as in "My reality is not your reality." This is often used just as a colloquialism indicating that the parties to a conversation agree, or should agree, not to quibble over deeply different conceptions of what is real. For example, in a religious discussion between friends, one might say (attempting ...

| | | | | | | | Core issues in ethics: Encyclopedia II - Racialism - W. E. B. DuBois W.E.B. DuBois argues that racialism is the philosophical belief that differences between the races exist, be it biological, social, psychological, or in the realm of the soul. He then goes on to argue that racism is using this belief to push forward the argument that one's particular race is superior to the others.
Therefore, Dubois separates the conditions of racism from racism itself. (Anthony Kwame Appiah summarises Dubois' position in his book In My Father's House, chapter 3.) Racialism in this view is a value-neutral philosop ...
