   Differences between objectivity and subjectivity values Subjectivity is a theory that develops the idea of the value of something that  is not determined by any property inherent to it, but by the importance that an individual gives it to achieve your goals or wishes. In ethics it has the same purpuse but in a different way, which reffers to the importance that and individual conclude in a situation because his personal taste, emocional state and contextual state.

  Ultilitarianism Is right or wrong? Ultilitarianism, is a ethical theory that determines if something is wrong or right, but it  only seeks the happiness and well-being of the majority of individuals,  was founded by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. In this blog, I will give my point of view in this theme and what I think that is good in this theory and what it isn't. So, even that the ultilitarianism  always has a valid argument based on the most reasonable thing to do, it has its limitations. This theory basically wants to treat all the people the same like they don't are different, what obviously is wrong because we all are different in aspects of moral, so that´s why we cannot apply this merthod cause is ethically wrong. For example: Let's say that you drive a trainwheel without brakes and you can only turn to the right or to the left. If you go to the right you will run over a person; instead on the left there is a group of eight children playing. What will ...

  Feminism Rights The concept of feminism according to the Standford Encyclopedia of Philosofy is that "feminism" is a term of the nineteenth century to reffer the feminist  ideologies or beliefs that are on favor of the  feminist political movements, so basically "feminism" refers to  the women's movement to achieve the equality of sexes. Women’s in favor of this movement fight for their rights even if they already have their own rights, but unfortunately they are not respected and treated as well, because of these feminists have to express in some way, even if it’s in a n ot pacific way, because the government doesn’t do nothing for these women’s. We all can agree that is okey that women express themselves, but i don’t think that is the best way to harm the other people around them, because of that people react in a negative way and have feminist in a wrong concept that’s that everything they do is only because they just want attention. In the other hand, they...
