  • Essay / Great is the reward - 1878

    Are you exhausted by the big I little you? No ifs or buts about it: “United, we are divided, we fall.” » end conflicts over personal opinions on the principle of relevance. From the Homeric perspective, if we do not reward the virtuous and allow others to escape their just merits for improper actions they may take, then have we failed in our mission, regardless of value of our intentions? Louis Pojman, “asserted that we should strive to create a world in which the virtuous are rewarded and the vicious punished in proportion to their relative merits.” Like me, most of us would agree with such a statement. First, Pojman argues that we should strive to create a world in which “the virtuous are rewarded and the vicious are punished in proportion to their relative merits.” believe that the virtuous will be eternally rewarded and the vicious will inevitably be punished. Pojman wants us to realize that those who work methodically should get what they deserve. Often, people who work diligently to achieve their goals experience moderate to no success. Unlike those who inherit success and possessions, they waste, ruin and cause disasters with merit because they have not deserved it; they therefore do not know how to appreciate its value. Merit and merit are two essential principles of ethics. The use of these essential principles has a lot to do with the functioning of our society as well as the good of humanity. I will explore why we value merit and why we should recognize the necessity of desert at all stages of life. I agree that the virtuous should be rewarded and the wicked punished, but that is easier said than done. Today, many oppose ethnocentris... middle of paper... "life", not a rational legislator. (Waller BN p.140) Indeed, the utilitarians are opposed to the Kantians. They believe that by maximizing utility in relation to the principle of equal rights for all citizens, many would agree that everyone is entitled to equal human rights regardless of their circumstances, for this reason the virtuous will eternally rewarded and the vicious will inevitably be punished. Pojman argues that we should strive to create a world in which "the virtuous are rewarded and the vicious are punished in proportion to their relative merits." As a matter of caution, those who hold that the senses or moral truth are more than the natural world but rather a divine power would undoubtedly agree that the virtuous will be eternally rewarded and the vicious will inevitably be punished.
