arm twisting

in the situation about arm twisting i think it really comes down to if you believe in the ends justifying the means. Im not really sure if i believe in doing something wrong to someone even if it does end up helping other people. What do you think?

puppy punting

although puppy punting obviously seems wrong to you and I, I don't really believe that it is morally wrong just because we believe that it is. I don't think that any one person can truly know what is morally wrong or right.

morality

In the example from the discussion board i believe that most people would be stopped from torturing a child by their morality. Most people have this sense of wrongdoing when they do something that they know isn't right. I think this is what makes us different from special cases where people do something really wrong like a serial killer, in most cases they know that what they are doing is wrong but they just don't feel bad about it and have no remorse.

milgram

the milgram experiment makes me think that the reason all of these people keep shocking the other person is because we have all been trained to listen to authority figures since we were little. Because this is definitly true in places like the military, why do some soldiers get in trouble for commiting war crimes if they were just following orders? is it really their fault when weve all been trained like this since we were born? Even if what they have been ordered to do is wrong is it really thier own fault and do they really have a choice??
