When looking at the first drawback, misinterpretations could apply to different situations, it is clear that this can occur on a regular basis. (Swanton 249 -- 254) The reason why is: someone will assume that they are superior and can apply the principals of detachment
This is the point that true courage can be realized. (Wattles 37 -- 39) Using some of the different terms from the moral list there are both permissible and impermissible actions within society
" Only a rational being can experience eudaimonia, the state of being satisfied with oneself because one is virtuous. It denotes one who is living well as a human being, believing that virtue is necessary but not sufficient, as the good life is also part of it (Annas 1993)
The societies devoted to the existential philosophers fund and provide forums for ongoing work, though it also finds conflicts within other rising philosophies, such as structuralism, deconstruction, hermeneutics and feminism. (Crowell 2004, 5) Still, race theory, self-identity (Charles Taylor, 1999), artificial intelligence (Dreyfus, 1979), and "new existentialism" (Haugeland 1998) have found their roots in the theories of the existential philosophers

" Their conclusions, rather their ways of inquiry led them to unique language that is rather alien to our ears. (Kierkegaard 1983) Today we take an approach more attuned to Sartre, who said that "existence precedes essence," or existence is the making of oneself, or the state of coming into being
" Sartre asked his readers to ask this question not as an exercise, but as a concrete question of what it means "for me to be." (Sartre 1968) Kierkegaard carried this further by applying the question to the Christian faith
The good life is the morally meritorious life, responding to the demands of the world, being a good human being with virtues that enable them to live a whole life. (Swanton 2003) List of Works Cited Annas, Julia
This position statement clearly outlines the ethical responsibilities of nurses in New York State when faced with providing abortion care, regardless of their personal values and beliefs. Virtue Ethics and Abortion Aristotle defined virtue as distinct from passion or faculties by declaring them states of character (Armstrong, 2006)
Whether they like it or not, many clinicians are caught in the crossfire between the diverse prolife and prochoice factions within American society. Successfully navigating the ethical intersection between the onslaught of new abortion legislation, best practice recommendations, and personal values may become even more difficult in the near future, especially in light of the Medicaid expansion extending contraceptive coverage to millions of minority Americans living near or below the poverty line (Burlone et al
83% of live births). A recent report examining the prevalence of contraceptive use along racial and ethnic lines looked at both age and contraceptive effectiveness (Dehlendorf et al
Nurses and the Ethics of Abortion Abortion and Virtue Ethics In the Crossfire: Nurses and the Ethics of Abortion In the Crossfire: Nurses and the Ethics of Abortion Nebraska's Attorney General, Jon Bruning, announced his efforts to revoke the license of the only nurse working at Dr. LeRoy Carhart's abortion clinic in a suburb of Omaha (Funk, 2013)
The responses revealed that nurses can be conflicted at times, but many nurses agreed this is nothing compared to what mothers face when confronted by an unintended pregnancy. To quote one of the nurses interviewed "It's the biggest decision that a woman ever has to make, to have a termination" (Lipp, 2008, p
What remains are the more nuanced controversies of fetal personhood, conflicts between patients' and nurses' rights, fetal viability, selective reduction in multiple gestations, and the use of abortifacients drugs. The role of a nurse when providing reproductive services was investigated by four research groups and all studies affirmed that women have three reproductive choices when faced with an unintended pregnancy: (1) abortion, (2) adoption, and (3) parenthood (McLemore & Levi, 2011)
S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) abortion is defined as the termination of pregnancy by curettage or medications (Pozol, Creanga, Burley, Hayes, & Jamieson, 2013)
On the one hand abortion destroys life and on the other it represents just one of several equivalent choices along a reproductive decision-making continuum. The Nurses' Perspective A recent Gallup poll discovered that Americans are fairly evenly split in terms of prolife or prochoice views (Saad, 2013)
If the recent avalanche of more restrictive abortion regulation being passed into law by state legislatures is responsible for this trend, then a detailed examination of the prolife and prochoice positions is warranted. The Prolife Positions The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) has outlined five basic arguments they use to counter prochoice positions (Turner & Balch, 2013)
2 million abortions, and 1.1 million miscarriages (Ventura, Curtin, Abama, Division of Vital Statistics of the CDC, & Henshaw, 2012)
If there is no sufficient relief of the situation or the hostile environment persists, the offended person should secure help from the Equal Employment Opportunity counselor within six weeks from the incident (Tolle). If the person harassing is the supervisor, the offended employee should report the incident to the next higher official (Carabelli, 2012) If there no action, legal action should be taken
