Ethics, can ethical questions be quantified? describe an example or counterexample.

September 15, 2008

I do not think it can be quantified because different people have different cultural backgrounds and they are raised differently from different regions of the world. An example is asking a rich person and a poor person a question about what they would do when they get older. Rich people and poor people will have different perceptions of thier lives. A rich person might say that they just want to help out other people since they are already rich. The poor person might say that they will keep continuing to work hard for the their children and the next generation. But these situations cannot be determine because it will be based on how they were raised.

Emotion , an example of when fear cause you to reason irrationally. an example of when fear affected your sensory perception, decribe how was it affected.

A very good example to describe a situation that my emotion caused me to reason irrational is whenever i take a test and there is not enough time for me to do them. That is when my emotion of fear take over. I would let my fear of not completing the test take over of me. I would start to think not clearly and just lose my control over my reasonings of what is right and what is a wrong answer.

An example of when fear affected my sensory perception is when i tried eating new food. What fear me the most is how i would react to the taste of the food or the fact that i would not like it. Because of this i would taste the food and my taste perception would not function properly. I might spit out the food or i would just swallow it forcefully and realize the taste afterward.

Natural Science, an example of where you would use the scientific method without using math.

I think that would be based upon how you define “math”. To me that word literally means something that connected to numbers and thinking skills. An example would be to try to figure out the human emotions. you can figure it out without using numbers becuase emotions is not something that you can measure. It is something you experience and learn.

Reason, describe a personal story that needs reason without language. and a used reason with language.

I do not think that i have ever used reason without using a language. That is because whenever i use reason i would have to use thinking skills and that contributes into some kind of a language either body movements or speeches. to me body movements are consider language becuase it is a form of communication. as for reason with laguage, that is just something that i do it all the time. An example is when i made an argument for a case that i argued over with my friends. i would come up with the explainations why i believe i was right and i would have to communicate to him by both my body movements and speeches on what i believed in.
