Sample Ethics Essay: Principle or Subjective?
Sample Ethics Essay: Principle or Subjective?If you are thinking about writing a sample ethics essay, you have probably thought of the sample ethics question already and seen the statement that is appropriate to your essay. But what do you say?Principle is the question of a policy or belief, known in English as 'should'. You may be asking yourself, 'Does this mean that I must agree with it or be forced to do so?' This statement is entirely incorrect.Principle says that something is right or wrong without any proof of that being true or false. It is up to you to determine whether something is right or wrong, but this is not a 'should'. This is a statement of fact that you, as the reader, must determine for yourself. A little consideration can help to guide you in your decision.The key thing to remember is that there is no significant difference between 'I think'I believe', except that we use different words. You do not have to agree with the conclusion of the essay, or even agree with its existence, to have properly used this statement.It would be quite surprising if a college graduate told an undergraduate that it was okay to kill someone on principle because they are human. You can draw your own conclusions, but your content does not have to conform to the ideas of the essay.The only difference is that when you use the word 'should' you are saying that an action is right, regardless of whether you are sure that the action is the right one. The word 'right' implies that the action is permissible, and the word 'permissible' implies that the action is legal. In the current context, an action is right if you believe it is right, even if you are not certain of that belief. A belief is a state of mind and can be changed.The principle is a statement of fact, and it should not be relied upon as the basis for decision. The statement 'I want to behave in a certain way' will be treated as a fact, while 'I believe that it is right to treat people this way' is a statement of belief. Both statements are needed to support your decision.
