1. Do you agree or disagree that nature (e.g., animals, trees, mountains) should have standing to sue in court? Why or why not?
2. The second version of universalism states dont treat others inappropriately as a means to an
end, and relates to fundamental rights that shouldnt be violated no matter what. Do you
consider nature (e.g., animals, trees, mountains) to potentially be an other such that it has
fundamental rights? In other words, might some things be unethical according to universalism
because they violate the fundamental rights of nature?
3. Relatedly, when conducting a utilitarian analysis, does it makes sense to include nature as a
stakeholder, apart from the humans affected by nature in that decision?
Indigenous religions are tied to their native cultures and habitats. As such, it is worth asking: should non-natives (to an area) be allowed to practice the relevant indigenous religion? Does permitting such practices (by non-natives) invite the possibility of natives being insulted or their religious practices becoming objects of entertainment or tourism? Or are there particular circumstances (such as genuinely joining the pertinent culture) that would deem it acceptable for a non-native to engage in an indigenous religions practices?
In a clear, carefully written discussion post, take a stand on this issue. Whatever shape your answer takes, it should be informed by Michael Mollys chapter two (entitled Indigenous Religions). And though not required, you might also do some independent research regarding one or more specific indigenous religions, to serve as examples for helping to make your case.

The Mayor of a large city was given a free membership in an exclusive golf club by people who have received several city contracts.

We Reach the Third Stage When We
Accept the Challenge and Begin to Explicitly Develop Our Thinking
Having actively decided to take up the challenge to grow and develop as thinkers, we become "beginning" thinkers, i.e., thinkers beginning to take thinking seriously. We are in the preparatory stage of taking explicit command of thinking. We realize that we know very little about the constituents of thinking, very little about how to analyze thinking for its soundness, very little about how to upgrade and improve thinking. Yet we have begun to see the necessity of learning how to take charge of our thinking.
As "beginning" thinkers, we recognize the egocentric nature of our thinking in one or more contexts of our lives. For example, we may sometimes catch ourselves trying to dominate others to get our way, or, alternatively, acting out the role of submitting to others (for the gains that submission will bring). We may begin to notice the powerful role that conformity to g

Write about an idea for task crafting: how might you alter the tasks of your job in some way? Be detailed in your response but dont ramble. Also, It should be written in the first person POV since it's about your job. (This could include improving the way something is done, using skills you have that aren't being used much, taking on more tasks, taking on fewer tasks, expanding or diminishing the scope of your tasks.)
2. Write about another idea for relational crafting: how might you alter the extent or nature of the interactions you have with others at your workplace? Again, be detailed but dont ramble on.

We said that the absurd represents for Camus the situation of human beings- namely that even there there is no ultimate meaning, human beings continue to look for meaning.
In the Plague, the infection of the town of Oran has been interpreted to mean different things, most obviously Nazism/fascism. However, reading more broadly, and seeing the plague in the novel as representing the condition of the absurd, answer the following question:
How do various characters in the Plague deal with the situation? What does this tell us about Camus' ideas about dealing with the absurd?
Please do the following in your essay :
1) Demonstrate that you've read the book with frequent references to the text
2) Discuss at least three main characters minimum, although you including more is good.

Based on "Case Study: Fetal Abnormality" and other required topic study materials, write a 800-word reflection that answers the following questions:
1. What is the Christian view of the nature of human persons, and which theory of moral status is it compatible with? How is this related to the intrinsic human value and dignity?
2. Which theory or theories are being used by Jessica, Marco, Maria, and Dr. Wilson to determine the moral status of the fetus? What from the case study specifically leads you to believe that they hold the theory you selected?
3. How does the theory determine or influence each of their recommendations for action?
4. What theory do you agree with? Why? How would that theory determine or influence the recommendation for action?
Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials and three peer-review articles.
