ETHICS ESTRADA ISABELLA

My name is Isabella Estrada Salazar.Im from Mexico City and two months ago I moved to Merida .I had just turned 16 years old.I have one older sister and one twin brother,I have a very good relationship with both of them.I love playing and watching soccer since I was to young but I also like listen to music,traveling with my family and going out with my friends.My favorite food is the lebanese food and japanese food.My greatest qualities are order and transparency, but on the other hand the bad ones are thet I can become very inpatient and pessimistic.What makes me angry the most is people lying or being dishonest.My biggest dream is woking on whatever makes me happy,complete all the challenges I propose to myself and succes.

What I expect from this class is to learn and get good grades but at the same time having interesting topics that will help to improve my knowledge.What I think can help us improve as a society is that people stop criticizing, judging and start getting more aware on real problems we all have to face,trying to find solutions in which each one of us can contribute depending on what you are good at and also start educating minors with fairer values so the next generations can start growing up in a better society.Also in my opinion if we all get the same opportunities based on our effot and if we all fight for what we want we can obtain results.

my opinion about feminism

 My position is to be in favor of feminism since the correct definition is to seek an equity between genders, at no time does it refer to hating men. This definition has been controversial since people think that it is to look for superiority.Probably the word feminist is misspelled because it carries the word feminine but also people should inform themselves before being against the term. I do not want to be better but I do want to obtain the same opportunities based on my effort.I am in favor of all the movements that have occurred on March 8 since it was a day in which women raised their voices regardless of their age and paying tribute to those who are no longer with us.There are many women and men assassinated every day, the difference is that women are killed for the fact of being women, something that we do not decide I don't agree with violence to fix something cuse we are only going to make it worse, pacifist marches and protests without violence are how all feminists should express themselves.I also do not think that it is wrong that men do not open the car door to women or pay you a meal, but these are only details that if your partner wants to do it you would not have to offend you, but they are not obliged neither.We have to change thats a fact, and one of the best ways is educating children so that their world when they grow up will be better and can be what they decide regardless of whether you are a woman or a man.

ETHICS

The study of ethics often concerns what we ought to do and what it would be best to do. In struggling with this issue, larger questions about what is good and right arise.It means great significance of the conduct and behavior of a person.Being able to differentiate the good and the bad actions according to a pattern already marked.Philosophy also study the knowledge considering the discipline of the human based on the principles.We can divide philosophical ethics into at least four parts. Meta-ethics conducts an analysis of moral concepts. Descriptive ethics describes ethical behavior.Normative ethics contemplates the norms or criteria. Applied ethics applies normative theories to particular ethical problems.

 

Genetic Modify Organism

GMOs are genetically modified organisms can be defined as organisms (plants, animals or microorganisms) in which the genetic material  has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating or natural recombination.Instead of being bred in a garden, GMO seeds are bred by biologic engineers who apply modern biotechnology techniques,Thanks to recombinant DNA methodologies, individual genes can be selected and transferred from one organism to another and create a genetically modified organism that wouldn’t have occurred in nature or via traditional cross breeding methods. The engineered organisms produced by transferring genes between species are called transgenic.They can increase the level of crop protection thanks by increasing plants resistance against diseases, viruses, and herbicides.When there is a high weed pressure, GMO crops often don’t need so many pesticides to be applied.Gene selection ensures the resulting plants have the desired characteristics such as enhanced nutrient composition, higher food quality, disease resistance. But from the other part GMOs can bring along 3 main issues of concern for human health: allergenicity, gene transfer and outcrossing.Regarding whether or not GMOs are safe, it depends. Different organisms include different genes that are transferred using different methods. 

Ehics as a branch of philosophy

Philosophical ethics are concerned with questions of how people ought to act, and the search for a definition of right conduct (identified as the one causing the greatest good) and the good life (in the sense of a life worth living or a life that is satisfying or happy).It differs from morals and morality in that ethics denotes the theory of right action and the greater good, while morals indicate their practice. Ethics is not limited to specific acts and defined moral codes, but encompasses the whole of moral ideals and behaviors, a person's philosophy of life.It asks questions like "How should people act?" , "What do people think is right?" , "How do we take moral knowledge and put it into practice?" , and "What does 'right' even mean?" 

values and anti-values

The value is that quality that is gives to things, events or persons, an estimate which may be positive or negative, while the Axiology is the discipline, part of philosophy, which is in charge of the study of nature and the essence of the value in question. And in another sense, the values are that set of examples which society proposed in the social relations, this situation has given rise to the existence of a scale of values which will go from the positive to the negative. The decisions we make are a reflection of our values and beliefs, and they are always directed towards a specific purpose. That purpose is the satisfaction of our individual or collective needs.In a society, anti-values ​​are not desired as they have negative results for people and for coexistence.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

The definition of domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure, or wound someone. Domestic abuse can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender. It can occur within a range of relationships including couples who are married, living together or dating. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels. Victims of domestic abuse may also include a child or other relative, or any other household member.Domestic abuse is typically manifested as a pattern of abusive behavior toward an intimate partner in a dating or family relationship, where the abuser exerts power and control over the victim.Domestic abuse can be mental, physical, economic or sexual in nature. Incidents are rarely isolated, and usually escalate in frequency and severity. Domestic abuse may culminate in serious physical injury or death.Emotional abuse includes undermining a person's sense of self-worth through constant criticism; belittling one's abilities; name-calling or other verbal abuse; damaging a partner's relationship with the children; or not letting a partner see friends and family. Psychological abuse: involves causing fear by intimidation; threatening physical harm to self, partner or children; destruction of pets and property; “mind games”; or forcing isolation from friends, family, school and/or work.Financial or economic abuse: involves making or attempting to make a person financially dependent by maintaining total control over financial resources, withholding access to money, and/or forbidding attendance at school or employment.Physical abuse: involves hurting or trying to hurt a partner by hitting, kicking, burning, grabbing, pinching, shoving, slapping, hair-pulling, biting, denying medical care or forcing alcohol and/or drug use, or using other physical force.Sexual abuse: involves forcing a partner to take part in a sex act when the partner does not consent. Stalking involves any pattern of behavior that serves no legitimate purpose and is intended to harass, annoy, or terrorize the victim. Typical stalking activities include repeated telephone calls, unwelcome letters or gifts by mail, surveillance at work, home and other places that the victim is known to frequent.

Death Penalty 

The death penalty is the punishment of death used in some countries for people who have commited very serious crimes. Some countries execute people who were under 18 years old when the crime was committed, others use the death penalty against people with mental and intellectual disabilities and several others apply the death penalty after unfair trials in clear violation of international law and standards. People can spend years on death row, not knowing when their time is up, or whether they will see their families one last time. Amnesty International recorded at least 2,307 death sentences in 56 countries in 2019, a slight decrease from the total of 2,531 reported in 2018. At least 26,604 people were known to be under sentence of death globally at the end of 2019. I’m against it because it goes against morality and violates all the human rights, also there are studies like national academy of science of USA that affirm that death penalty is not that effective I mean in countries that is legal ,crimes don’t disappear. For example in 1973 more than one hundred sixty people were put in liberty after being penalized with dead this means They can even kill an inocente person and in this case the state will be making a mistake and contradict his own punishment and life can not  be returned.Europe and South America have almost completely eliminated it from their criminal codes and this is because its about a violence act.Also is used as a political tool to use death to punish political opponents like in Iran or Sudan .And violence generates violence.

Ethics in business

A business is a productive organization—an organization whose purpose is to create goods and services for sale, usually at a profit. Business is also an activity. One entity “does business” with another when it exchanges a good or service for valuable consideration. Ethics is the branch of philosophy concerned with the meaning of all aspects of human behavior. Theoretical ethics, sometimes called normative ethics, is about delineating right from wrong. It is supremely intellectual and, as a branch of philosophy, rational in nature. It is the reflection on and definition of what is right, what is wrong, what is just, what is unjust, what is good, and what is bad in terms of human behavior. It helps us develop the rules and principles (norms) by which we judge and guide meaningful decision-making.Business ethics is the study of appropriate business policies and practices regarding potentially controversial subjects including corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility, and fiduciary responsibilities. The law often guides business ethics, but at other times business ethics provide a basic guideline that businesses can choose to follow to gain public approval. When it comes to preventing unethical behavior and repairing its negative side effects, companies often look to managers and employees to report any incidences they observe or experience. Business ethics goes beyond just a moral code of right and wrong; it attempts to reconcile what companies must do legally versus maintaining a competitive advantage over other businesses. Questions in business ethics are important and relevant to everyone. This is because almost all of us “do business”—i.e., engage in a commercial transaction—almost every day. Moreover, many of us spend a major portion of our lives engaged in, or preparing to engage in, productive activity, on our own or as part of productive organizations. Business activity shapes the world we live in, sometimes for good and sometimes for ill.
