Rätt och riktigt sex : Var drar vi gränsen och varför? / Proper Sex : Where Do We Draw the Line and Why?Björkstrand, Linus January 2022 (has links)
This essay focuses on exploring societal limits regarding sexual relations. It tries to discover where – and possibly why – the line is generally drawn in western society between what is usually seen as morally correct, incorrect, taboo, normal, etcetera. In addition to this, the essay sets out to challenge societal confirmative views on what is regarded as normal versus perverted sex. In order to do this, there will be a focus on what is seen as moral, immoral, natural, and unnatural sex according to a handful of prominent philosophers who are active within the subject, as well as their own thoughts on how someone might think around sexual philosophy. Some things will be disregarded in this paper's discussions, such as rape, as I find that the morality on such a subject is not relevant to this discussion. I make this distinction since there are other moral implications, and complications, than just the sexual aspects of rape. My reasoning for this exclusion is that I wish to only explore what could be regarded as consensual sexual acts, in order to distinguish between what could be genuinely seen as immoral and what could possibly only be regarded as taboo, possibly closer connected too feelings rather than real moral objection. In short, one might say that the answer is not an easy one and that – as is the case in so many societal situations – there can be many ways to draw a line between the morally right and wrong. As to where the line is drawn; this essay will provide some clarity in regard to a few possible answers, such as psychological, social, and individual aspects of the distinction between the perverted, the immoral and the natural in regard to sex and sexuality. The main result shows that the idea of sexual perversion or immoral sexual acts seem to stem from personal – and not always logical or rational – opinion. Furthermore, what is considered right or wrong might not always be based in arguments with consistent moral merit. These results show that every individual might need to keep more of an open mind and turn to reason when making judgement regarding sexual acts or relations, rather than running risk at basing their opinions in pure feeling. / Denna uppsats fokuserar på att utforska samhällets gränser berörande sexuella relationer. Uppsatsen försöker upptäcka var – och möjligen varför – gränsen ofta dras i västvärldens samhällen vad beträffar moraliskt riktigt, fel, tabu och normalt med mera. Utöver detta har uppsatsen som mål att utmana socialt förankrade synsätt kring vad som anses vara normalt kontra perverst sex. För att kunna göra detta kommer fokus att ligga på vad som anses vara moraliskt, omoraliskt, naturligt och onaturligt sex enligt en handfull dominanta filosofer som är aktiva inom subjektet. Dessa filosofers egna tankar och idéer kring hur man kan tänka kring sexualfilosofi kommer också behandlas. Vissa samtalsämnen kommer att uteslutas i uppsatsen, såsom våldtäkt, eftersom jag upplever att sådana akter har ytterligare omoraliska implikationer och komplikationer utöver de sexuella aspekterna. Varför jag gör denna avgränsning är för att jag endast önskar undersöka sådana akter som skulle kunna anses falla under samtycke. Samtycke är relevant eftersom jag genom uppsatsen kommer försöka skilja på sådana akter som genuint skulle kunna anses vara omoraliska och akter som möjligen endast skulle kunna räknas till vad som kallas för tabu; Alltså akter som möjligen förkastas på grund av känsloargument snarare än verklig moralisk utvärdering. I korta är svaret – som det så ofta är i samhällsbaserade frågor – inte enkelt. Det kan finnas många sätt att dra gränser mellan vad som ska räknas som moraliskt riktigt, eller moraliskt fel. Vad beträffar vart gränsen dras kommer denna uppsats tillgodose läsaren med ett antal möjliga svar, såsom psykologiska, sociala och individuella aspekter bakom skillnaden mellan det perversa, omoraliska och naturliga beträffande sex och sexualitet. Det huvudsakliga resultatet visar att idén bakom sexuell perversion, eller sexuellt omoraliska akter, tycks bottna i personliga åsikter – ibland utan bakomliggande logik eller rationalitet. Vidare visar resultaten att vad som anses vara rätt eller fel inte alltid bottnar i moraliskt konsekventa argument. Dessa resultat visar att varje individ kan behöva hålla sig mer öppen och förhålla sig till förnuftet när hen skapar sig åsikter om sex, snarare än att riskera grunda dessa i ren känsla.

Morální odpovědnost kolektivů / Moral Responsibility of CollectivesFojt, Viktor January 2011 (has links)
The subject of this work is a long-term debate about the collective responsibility which occurs between two opposite opinions on social phenomenon above all. The methodical individualists interpret the social phenomenons with reference to individuals, whereas the methodical holists assert that these cannot be reduced to phenomenons of individuals without any rest. Methodical individualists lean on the classic conception of the moral responsibility which is based on the intended agency in causal connection with the moral wrong. This conception is connected with human beings in its nature, but there is countless of thinkers who bring arguments in favour of the collective moral responsibility which is thought to bring about more good in the world. We will try to introduce this debate in its complexity and its most interesting and important arguments. Within the frame of debate about moral responsibility of collectives, we can meet with the notion of shared responsibility, distributive collective responsibility, non-distributive collective responsibility connected with the organized collectives, the responsibility for historic injusticies and with the conception of moral taint. All of notions will be the subject of this work. The biggest interest is put on the responsibility of politic communities. In...

Prestige and prurience : the decline of the American art house and the emergence of sexploitation, 1957-1972Metz, Daniel Curran 01 November 2010 (has links)
“Prestige and Prurience: The Decline of the American Art House and the Emergence of Sexploitation, 1957-1972” presents a historical narrative of the art house theatre during the 1960s and its surrounding years, examining the ways in which art theatres transformed into adult theatres during the 1960s and 1970s. Beginning in earnest in the immediate post-war period, art houses in America experienced a short period of growth before stagnating in the middle 1950s. With the release in 1957 of the erotically charged Brigitte Bardot film …And God Created Woman, a new era of art houses followed, one that is characterized by the emergence of sexualized advertising, content and stars. As the 1960s came, sex films like The Immoral Mr. Teas played on art film marketing strategies and even screened in many art houses. Gradually, sexploitation films began to dominate art house programs and replace European art films and Hollywood revivals. In this transitional period, however, sexploitation films used key strategies to emulate many art film characteristics, and likewise art films used sexploitation techniques in order to maintain marketability for American distribution and exhibition. By studying the promotion and programming used by art house theatres during this period, this thesis identifies and announces a number of key trends within the dynamic period for art houses. The period is distinguished by its convergence of practices related to prestigious and prurient signs, merging art and sex in ways unique to the era and to the circumstances by which sex films infiltrated art houses and art films pandered to salacious interests. It presents a new perspective on the history of art houses, art cinema, American exhibition, sexploitation films, hardcore pornography and censorship. / text

Nemesis and Fulness: Reinhold Niebuhr's Vision of History, 1927-1934Moquist, Tod Nolan 01 1900 (has links)
Permission from the author to digitize this work is pending. Please contact the ICS library if you would like to view this work. / There are many excellent studies of the life and thought of Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971), prominent Christian ethicist, social philosopher, and political activist of the American Century. Most studies focus on his mature works of mid-century, particularly his theological ethics. The following study treats his emergent theory of history between 1927-1934, especially the idea of progress and the narrative of modern capitalist society. During this formative period Niebuhr wrote three major books (Does Civilization Need Religion? [1927], Moral Man and Immoral Society [1932], and Reflections on the End of an Era [1934]) which reflect his intellectual passage from religious liberalism and the politics of persuasion to "Christian-Marxism" and the politics of power. The following thesis will trace the diverse historiographical influences found in these works, from the church-historical perspective of Ernst Troeltsch to the dialectical materialism of Karl Marx. It is common to say that Niebuhr was purely a theologian of history. But following Ricoeur and White, I describe the main ingredients of a philosophy of history that are present in these writings: myth, plot, social processes, patterns of progress and cycle. Moreover, he was a "thinker in time"--these philosophical elements combined to render a plausible and meaningful narrative context for social action. In the early period Niebuhr began his lifelong critique of Enlightenment, capitalism, and the idea of progress. Following Robert Nisbet's analysis of the concept of progress in Western cultural history, I will argue that Niebuhr traverses his own peculiar dialectics of history, moving from the idea of progress-as-freedom (in the twenties) to the idea of progress-as-power (in the thirties); from the form of irony to the form of tragedy; from the concept of the voluntary reform of the excesses of captialism to the concept of the frank use of coercion to implement a socialist alternative to captialism. His philosophy of history in this period thus reflects in Christian idiom aspects of the very antinomies of the Enlightenment regarding personality and power, freedom and fate, which he desires to overcome.

Cannibalism Is Not Inherently Immoral : A Philosophical Study of Morality and CannibalismBlomberg, Rebecca January 2022 (has links)
This essay argues that cannibalism is not inherently immoral. To demonstrate this, I have analyzed the ethics of cannibalism through the perspective of consent, rights, autonomy, and consumption of flesh. I have defined the concepts of cannibalism and morality. The case of the German Cannibal Armin Meiwes is used throughout the essay as it gives factual examples of a case where cannibalism is in accordance to consent. I have analyzed cannibalism as a taboo, in the ways this taboo has formed and how we differentiate cannibalism in humans and nonhumans. Following this I have demonstrated how the relations surrounding human rights, the law's interpretation of consent and autonomy can alter its morality. With discussing consumption of flesh, whether it be from an animal or a human being, followed by how our view on treating nonanimals as a means to an end, I illustrate a comparison to cannibalism in human beings. By exploring the relationship of cannibalism with morality through these theories I conclude that cannibalism in fact cannot be inherently immoral.

Aspects of moral education in Bhaca mamtiseni and nkciyo initiation rituals / Makaula P.NMakaula, Phiwe Ndonana January 2010 (has links)
The main objective of this mini–dissertation is to investigate the basic form and
content of moral education as it manifests itself in the mamtiseni and nkciyo
female initiation rituals of the Mount Frere region of the Eastern Cape Province of
the Republic of South Africa. The main theoretical position taken is the reemergent
African Renaissance coupled with African indigenous knowledge
systems, first revived by (former) President Thabo Mbeki. Accordingly the main
purpose of this study is to address the transmission of moral aspects of female
Bhaca initiation inherent in behavioural/cultural educational enculturation.
The main findings of the mini–dissertation constitute the following:
1. Mamtiseni and nkciyo rituals play a major role in the enculturation of
young Bhaca girls.
2. The song texts carry strong messages of how to go about achieving a
healthy and surviving society.
There are further opportunities for research in the following aspects:
1. Nkciyo initiation schools are very exclusive, involving many secret codes.
The fact that I am a male put me at a disadvantage.
2. There are many more points of difference between the two rituals than
meets the eye. / Thesis (M.Mus.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.
