While one might argue that this is mere semantics, it is fair to say that much of the political debate surrounding abortion access is fought over semantics—that “the morality of abortion [turns on] whether a fetus is a person . . . .” Because of the critical nature of the language involved, requiring physicians to use language such as “child” is meaningful.

The role of morality in the Odyssey sharply differs from our own notions of morality. Textual support for a morality in line with today’s common notions of morality is frail at best or otherwise fragmented and insufficient. Even the notion of justice, which stands as one of the fundamental pillars of western society today, is often inconsistent and contradictory, particularly among the gods. In the Odyssey, acts of kindness are not a product of some benevolent altruistic tendency, but rather, a consequence

Or until it affects us. But the author George Orwell, in 1984 has shown some tough situations, which really opened up my eyes about, what is morality to us?

Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” highlights the detrimental effects of the religious court, and the impact Puritan societal norms had on its citizens. Reverend Hale, a protagonist in the play serves as a balance between morality versus and the religious conformity that took place within society. His transformation throughout the play demonstrates

The task of this structure has been outlined, by Kant himself, in term of establishing the principle of morality throughout the Groundwork.
