A basis in nature for morality

/in /by

  1. Is the human being purely material, or is there an immaterial component? If the human being is
    purely material, what does that imply about free will? If there is an immaterial component, what
    does that imply about free will? In other words: address the question “are human beings just
    complicated machines, or is there something more to us”? and explain what is implied on both sides
    of the argument. Don’t just give the argument you happen to agree with; consider objections to it
    and respond to those objections.
    Note: students often write essays relying on emotion or sentiment in response to the topic above
    (“How bleak the world would be if we didn’t have souls” and the like). That is not what you are
    supposed to be doing: rather, you should write an essay that argues for a specific position and
    responds to counterarguments.
  2. Is there a basis in nature for morality? Is there such a thing as a natural right, natural law,
    or natural justice? Can human beings know something about right and wrong through the use
    of unaided reason (i.e., without the help of revealed religion)? Is morality relative to culture, or
    does morality transcend culture? Explain.
  3. Explain, what Socrates might have meant when he said, “The unexamined life is not worth
    living.” Do you agree with this position? Why or why not?
  4. When we say that pursuing knowledge or wisdom for its own sake has intrinsic value, what does
    that statement mean? If you disagree, please explain the grounds for your disagreement.

After reading chapter 13, watch Simon Sinek’s TED Talk “How Great Leaders Inspire Action.” In this 18-minute video, Simon explores how leaders can inspire cooperation, trust and change.

Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action Ted Talk (Links to an external site.)

Refer to section 13.5, “Transformational Leadership,” on pages 527-530. This section of the chapter describes transformational leadership and the four key behaviors used by transformational leaders. Watch the following 5 minute video where Kip Tindel, the founder of the Container Store discusses the firm’s compensation practices. If you like the video consider reading his book “Uncontainable: How Passion, Commitment, and Conscious Capitalism Built a Business Where Everyone Thrives,” Kip describes his approach for building a business where everyone associated with it thrives. http://bigthink.com/think-tank/it-pays-to-pay-your-employes-well-with-ceo-kip-tindell (Links to an external site.)

Consider the text and the video and answer the following questions:

Think of someone who you consider to be an effective leader. Now, explain why you consider them to be effective.
How do effective leaders inspire others?
Explain the difference between someone who “manages” and someone who “leads.”
Describe a time you saw someone display behaviors that would be consistent with the “dark side” traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and/or psychopathy. To what extent did those traits help or hinder the person’s career success?
Describe a person who you consider to be transformational leader—either people you know from your own work experiences or people you have learned about through the business press. What aspects of their leadership style would classify them as a transformational leader?
