Rather than living in chaos, danger, and the hostility of our neighbors, we find ways to live together. It isn’t easy, but can we avoid doing so?
If everybody has self-interest in their own welfare and safety, then everybody also has self-interest in the welfare and safety of others. Self-interest involves community interest, and we must think about what we are willing to give up in order to get that safety and stability for ourselves, our families, our community, our nation, and even the world.
Thomas Hobbes and John Locke are just two examples of social contract moralists. Locke’s philosophy helped Thomas Jefferson formulate the United States Declaration of Independence. We are interested in what it means to live together in an orderly way under a social contract.
For the initial post, address one of the following sets of questions:
What is a time when you or someone you know of experienced a conflict between duty to self and loyalty to the community? What would logical reasoning say should be done in that case? Why that? What would an Ethical Egoist say to do? Why would they say to do that? Note what you feel is the best course of action.
What is a time when you or someone you know experienced a clash between professional duties and familial duties? Reference a professional code such as that of the American Nurses Association or American Bar Association in explaining the clash. What moral values should have been used in that case? Why those values? What would social contract ethics have said to have done? Why would social contract ethics say that? Note what you feel is the best course of action.
Articulate and evaluate a time when you or someone you know saw personal obligations collide with national obligations. How did that tension involve differing positions on a moral debate? Did those positions rely on any key moral theories? If so, how so? If not, why not? Note what you feel is the best course of action.

The lesson includes information on Roman architecture, which was greatly influenced by the Greeks and Etruscans. Locate at least two architectural works that were influenced by Greco-Roman architecture. These can be from any time period after the Greco-Roman period but should be from different periods themselves (e.g., one from Renaissance and one from Baroque).What is the function of each structure? How does each work exhibit influence of the Greco-Roman period? Is the influence specifically Greek, Etruscan, or Roman or a combination? How would you compare the two selected works? Take the role of the evaluative critic

Making money from apps is possible but difficult. There are hundreds of thousands of apps available. The revenue generated from an individual app is typically very small, and the app stores take a 30% cut of all the revenue that your app generates. How do you get people to pay you to use yours? What are the different ways you can collect money for the use of your apps? More importantly, how can you get a lot of people to pay you to use the app so that the revenue generates enough to fund further development or expansion?

What are the different ways you can collect money for the use of your apps? More importantly, how can you get a lot of people to pay you to use the app so that the revenue generates enough to fund further development or expansion? These are some of the questions that many developers ask. The two primary audiences are typically the employees of an organization for which the app was developed or the public. Many aspects of publishing are the same for both audiences. However, some important differences exist that the developer needs to be aware of. Likewise, publishing Android versus iOS apps can be very similar, but with some significant differences. Some questions have concrete answers; others are still very much open for debate.

Respond to the following Discussion:For the discussion, pretend you’re founding a new international NGO. What kind of NGO would you start?My electricity bill last month was as high as $349.11, which gave me a sudden inspiration. I plan to create an NGO called Global Energy Equity Foundation (GEEF).1. What kinds of international human rights issues would your NGO address? (Think beyond US domestic politics; try to pick something that could have international resonance and importance). You can give the NGO a name if you like, or you can keep the idea general. Think about what type of population your NGO will serve. Addressing the human rights implications of energy poverty. Millions worldwide lack access to reliable and affordable energy, which has ripple effects on their health, education, and economic opportunities. Energy poverty can disproportionately impact marginalized groups, such as indigenous peoples, rural communities, and women. GEEF would champion the right to sustainable and equitable energy for all, promoting renewable energy solutions that are accessible and beneficial to these populations.2. Would your NGO have a friendly relationship with states, or it be more like a foe or foil to states? What kind of states would it get along best with?GEEF would maintain a cooperative yet critical relationship with states. Its primary objective is to collaborate and provide solutions; however, GEEF would not shy away from holding states accountable.GEEF would align best with states that prioritize sustainable development, have active renewable energy policies, and are signatories to international agreements such as the Paris Agreement. These states recognize the importance of addressing climate change and ensuring energy access for their citizens.3. To get your NGO going, you need resources and mentorship from an established NGO. What is one existing NGO that your new, hypothetical NGO could reach out to for a partnership? Tell us about this existing NGO and how it could help. I would like to partnering with an Established NGO which called Practical Action.Practical Action is a UK-based organization works with communities worldwide to provide sustainable solutions to challenges in energy, water, and other sectors. They focus on using technology to address poverty and have considerable experience in promoting small-scale renewable energy solutions in remote and underserved regions.Practical Action has built a broad network of donors, partners, and communities that could be leveraged for GEEF’s initiatives. Also,As a new NGO, GEEF would benefit immensely from the insights and training provided by Practical Action’s seasoned professionals.Reference?Practical Action
