  • Welfare, Achievement, and Self-Sacrifice
    WELFARE, ACHIEVEMENT, AND SELF-SACRIFICE BY DOUGLAS W. PORTMORE JOURNAL OF ETHICS & SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY VOL. 2, NO. 2 | SEPTEMBER 2007 URL: WWW.JESP.ORG COPYRIGHT © DOUGLAS W. PORTMORE 2007 JOURNAL OF ETHICS & SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY | VOL. 2, NO. 2 WELFARE, ACHIEVEMENT, AND SELF-SACRIFICE Douglas W. Portmore Welfare, Achievement, and Self-Sacrifice Douglas W. Portmore* ANY PHILOSOPHERS HOLD that the achievement of one’s goals can contribute to one’s welfare apart from whatever inde- pendent contributions that the objects of those goals, or the proc- M 1 esses by which they are achieved, make. Call this the Achievement View, and call those who accept it achievementists. Below, I argue that achievementists should accept both (a) that one factor that affects how much the achieve- ment of a goal contributes to one’s welfare is the amount that one has in- vested in that goal, and (b) that the amount that one has invested in a goal is a function of how much one has personally sacrificed for its sake, not a func- tion of how much effort one has put into achieving it. So I will, contrary to at least one achievementist (viz., Keller 2004, 36), be arguing against the view that the greater the amount of productive effort that goes into achieving a goal, the more its achievement contributes to one’s welfare. Furthermore, I argue that the reason that the achievement of those goals for which one has personally sacrificed matters more to one’s welfare is that, in general, the re- demption of one’s self-sacrifices in itself contributes to one’s welfare.

  • War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era
    Social & Demographic Trends October 5, 2011 The Military-Civilian Gap War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT Pew Social & Demographic Trends Tel (202) 419-4372 1615 L St., N.W., Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 www.pewsocialtrends.org PREFACE America’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are unique. Never before has this nation been engaged in conflicts for so long. And never before has it waged sustained warfare with so small a share of its population carrying the fight. This report sets out to explore a series of questions that arise from these historical anomalies. It does so on the strength of two nationwide surveys the Pew Research Center conducted in the late summer of 2011, as the 10th anniversary of the start of the war in Afghanistan approached. One survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 1,853 military veterans, including 712 who served on active duty in the period after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The other was among a nationally representative sample of 2,003 American adults. The report compares and contrasts the attitudes of post-9/11 veterans, pre-9/11 veterans and the general public on a wide range of matters, including sacrifice; burden sharing; patriotism; the worth of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the efficiency of the military and the effectiveness of modern military tactics; the best way to fight terrorism; the desirability of a return of the military draft; the nature of America’s place in the world; and the gaps in understanding between the military and civilians.

  • Aztec Human Sacrifice
    EIGHT AZTEC HUMAN SACRIFICE ALFREDO LOPÉZ AUSTIN, UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICO, ANO LEONARDO LÓPEZ LUJÁN, INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE ANTROPOLOGíA E HISTORIA Stereotypes are persistent ideas of reality generally accepted by a social group. In many cases, they are conceptions that simplify and even caricaturize phenomena of a complex nature. When applied to societies or cultures, they l11ayinclude value judgments that are true or false, specific or ambiguous. If the stereotype refers to orie's own tradition, it emphasizes the positive and the virtuous, and it tends to praise: The Greeks are recalled as philosophers and the Romans as great builders. On the other hand, if the stereotype refers to another tradition , it stresses the negative, the faulty, and it tends to denigrate: For many, Sicilians naturally belong to the Mafia, Pygrnies are cannibals, and the Aztecs were cruel sacrificers. As we will see, many lines of evidence confirm that hurnan sacrifice was one the most deeply rooted religious traditions of the Aztecs. However, it is clear that the Aztecs were not the only ancient people that carried out massacres in honor of their gods, and there is insufficient quantitative inforrnation to determine whether the Aztecs were the people who practiced hu- man sacrifice 1110stoften. Indeed, sacred texts, literary works, historie documents, and especially evidence contributed by archaeology and physical anthropology, enable religious historians to determine that the practice of hurnan sacrifice was common in most parts of the ancient world. For exarnple, evidence of sacrifice and can n iba lism has emerged in l11any parts ofEurope, dating to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.

  • Taglines Taglines Have Become Very Popular Lately. Local Businesses
    GRACE. LOVE. FELLOWSHIP. 2 Cor. 13:11-14 6/7/20 – Trinity Sunday Living Word, Montrose Taglines Taglines have become very popular lately. Local businesses and new churches, large corporations and world-wide organizations uses phrases or a set of words or compact sentences to explain what they’re all about in a succinct way. And it’s not just to use in a commercial or a marketing campaign. Taglines are supposed to summarize who they are, what they do, what they offer, the reason they exist. In order to accomplish that goal, taglines are usually short, sometimes they’re clever, they need to be accurate of course, and they’re meant to be memorable. We have a tagline as a congregation. Years ago as we put together a new website, we came up with this phrase for Living Word that is still on our homepage: “Hear It. Learn It. Live It.” Our entire ministry revolves around the living Word of God after all and that seemed to be a decent way of conveying this defining characteristic of our congregation in an easy-to- understand way. But whether our tagline is good or not isn’t really the point here. The point here is that this isn’t a recent phenomenon. God gave himself a tagline thousands of years ago. And I want to be careful that I don’t give the impression that our almighty eternal God wants to be hip or trendy. He isn’t all that concerned about marketing himself to modern American sensibilities. But he does describe who he is, what he does, what he offers, and the reason we exist in short, succinct phrases all over the Bible.

  • 2018/19 Annual Report the Shadow of STIGMA People with Mental Health Challenges Say the Stigma Is Worse Than the Illness
    Treatment and Support for children, youth and families. 2018/19 Annual Report The shadow of STIGMA People with mental health challenges say the stigma is worse than the illness. Meet Ken Client talks Stigma When it comes to STIGMA, I think about feelings or misunderstandings that usually come from fear or anger. For instance, anyone who is angry at an addict, or who believes addicts should be treated like criminals or lesser-than, those feelings probably come from fear. And I think that fear comes from a lack of understanding. You have to ask, ‘Why is a person an addict? Why are they willing to sacrifice so much?’ As soon as you’re willing to ask those questions, you’ll begin to understand and break down the stigma toward people who are addicts and who are struggling. And if we want to see all of us grow in terms of quality of life, our quality as people, as individuals, we need to take care of one another – no matter what that looks like. If you see someone suffering, it hurts all of us to simply look down your nose at them. It’s simple. If you want the world to be a better place, if you want to be a better person, try to make things better for people around you. Sometimes that’s as simple as listening to a person and really trying to understand their situation. Anyone who is willing to listen, is already making things better for those who are misunderstood. And it breaks down the fear and the anger.

  • Book Review of Caught: the Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, by Marie Gottschalk
    445 Book Review Marie Gottschalk, Caught: The Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2015, pp. 474, $35.00 Cloth; $24.95 Paper. Reviewed by Shon Hopwood Introduction The American criminal justice system is a mess. It criminalizes too much conduct, disproportionately targets the poor and people of color, and overly relies on incarceration. It has become so immense that millions of Americans are starting to feel its squeeze as its grip fails every demographic of America from crime victims and taxpayers to those it convicts. The system desperately needs to be reexamined before an even larger segment of Americans comes to view the rule of criminal law as a rule of oppression. To their credit, academics can lay claim to being among the first to highlight the carceral state and its causes. A deep body of literature now exists on the mass incarceration crisis,1 and Professor Marie Gottschalk has made an important contribution with her book Caught. Whereas others focused on discrete parts of the carceral state, Gottschalk has meticulously detailed all of it—from the political factors that created the American carceral state to those who have profited from it. No stone is unturned in her quest to comprehensively strip our criminal justice problems bare, and she consistently reminds us of their enormity. Her thesis: The carceral state has grown so massive that it has cut off millions from the American Dream, which Gottschalk defines as “the faith that everyone has an inalienable right to freedom, justice, and equal opportunities to get ahead, and that everyone stands equal before the law” (2).

Boyd School of Law. For more information, please contact [email protected]. SACRIFICE AND SACRED HONOR: WHY THE CONSTITUTION IS A "SUICIDE PACT" Peter Brandon Bayer* ABSTRACT Most legal scholars and elected officials embrace the popular clich6 that "the Constitution is not a suicide pact." Typically, those commentators extol the "Constitution of necessity," the supposition that Government, essentially the Executive, may take any action-may abridge or deny any fundamental right-to alleviate a sufficiently serious national security threat. The "Constitution of necessity" is wrong. This Article explains that strict devotion to the "fundamental fairness" prin- ciples of the Constitution's Due Process Clauses is America's utmost legal and moral duty, surpassing all other considerations, even safety, security and survival. The analysis begins with the most basic premises: the definition of morality and why nations must be moral. This Article defends deontology: the philosophy that because moral principles are a priori, they must be obeyed regardless of terrible outcomes.

  • The Significance of Blood Sacrifice in the Old Testament
    46 AFRREV, 10 (1), S/NO 40, JANUARY, 2016 An International Multidisciplinary Journal, Ethiopia Vol. 10(1), Serial No.40, January, 2016: 46-60 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070--0083 (Online) Doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/afrrev.v10i1.5 The Significance of Blood Sacrifice in the Old Testament Allison, Charles S. Dept. of Philosophy & Religious Studies Faculty of Arts Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +2348029527740 Abstract Sacrifice does not appear to be foreign to Israel, because the surrounding nations practiced it. Undoubtedly, therefore, blood sacrifice in the Old Testament could be traced to Babylonian, Canaanite or Ancient Nomadic rituals and fellowship meals according to the New Concise Bible Dictionary. Undue reference made to Old Testament Blood Sacrifice, has become a contemporary basis for some clandestine activities in our society. The purpose of blood sacrifice in the Old Testament is, therefore, paramount. Studies of this nature find the Historical, Theological, Descriptive and Exegetical approach integral to its end product. It is noteworthy at this juncture to observe that some of the Old Testament sacrifices were non-bloody; but, the scope of this study is majorly on the Bloody sacrifices of the Old Testament. Moreover, the symbolic nature and significance of blood sacrifice in the Old Testament is the major stress area of the study. Consequently, it should be on record, that the use or misuse of blood sacrifice, outside the basic Old Testament prescription, by any mortal should, therefore, not only be kept on hold or at abeyance, but also be outrightly abrogated.
