workers on the track and has the option of throwing a switch to divert the trolley’s path towards only one worker. Thomson finds the Bystander at the Switch case permissible under two conditions: 1) first, that the same threat is diverted from a larger to a smaller group of people, and 2) second, that the means by which this threat is diverted does not in itself

The article, “The Trolley Problem”, written by Judith Jarvis Thomson, poses an intense ethical argument. Within the reading, she addresses two of Philippa Foot’s imaginary situations. The first involves a trolley with faulty brakes, and if the driver should flip the switch to kill five people or just one person. The second is a similar situation; should a doctor let five patients die or operate on one patient to take his organs without consent? I will argue that it is not morally permissible to turn

He and Charles Wyville Thomson, commanders of very different ocean voyages, and both of these men led their respective crew members towards death with the hopes of conquering or exploring new lands. Zheng He, a worker for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty of China, commanded a giant fleet including 27,000 Chinese soldiers and “sailed as far as the Arabian peninsula and the eastern coast of Africa” in seven different voyages, starting in 1405 (Dreyer 1).

A DEFENSE OF ABORTION RECONSTRUCTION Judith Jarvis Thomson argues that there are defenses of abortion and that the right to life is not an absolute right; therefore in some cases abortion is morally permissible (265). In order to argue this, Thomson outlines the relevant steps that help form her argument. One, every person has a right to life. Two, the fetus is considered a person. Three, the fetus therefore has a right to life. Four, the fetus’ right to life is stronger than the mother’s right

William Thomson, seems like an ordinary man living in the 19th century, but what if I said, Lord Kelvin…would that spark any knowledge? Lord Kelvin, otherwise known as William Thomson, is well known for his discovery of the Kelvin scale. Without multiple inventions and discoveries made by William Thomson, the science world would be lacking much insight of thermodynamics, navigation at sea, and communication across the Atlantic. Although not an Einstein, Thomson’s contributions to the science world

The generous shadowy individuals, had a keen interest in the cultivation of the Rainbow Flower and so far they were quite pleased. He knew they were evil; nice people did not normally keep themselves shrouded in shadow when speaking over a monitor. He did not particularly care though, so long as he was allowed grow and cultivate the Rainbow Flower he considered himself well paid —even if it did mean living underground, away from fresh air, and natural sunlight. At least he was not alone. There was

long been a topic of contention in the United States. In the article ‘A Defense of Abortion’ Thomson argues that abortion is morally permissible in certain circumstances even if that fetus has a right to life. This essay will serve to lay out the positions that Judith Jarvis Thomson’s article takes in the defense of abortion in certain circumstances. I will present an argument that agrees with Thomson and further justifies abortion in cases that deal with pregnancies that are a result of rape,

In contrast to Thomson, Gray’s poem presents an anxiety and alienation from the audience due to changes of distribution and readership. There was a mass increase of the middle class readership, which meant literature was no longer just for the elite but it became a ‘mass entertainment’ (Benedict, pg64). With this change, Gray felt distance from his elite audience and unable to create a community of understanding between poet and audience (Zionkowski, pg334). Gray tried to create this community of

William Thomson also known as Lord Kelvin, is a chemist that is famous for Devising the absolute temperature scale, now called the Kelvin scale. He also formulated the second law of thermodynamics. Thomson was given a good education at home by his own father. Thomson was the second child out of four children. Also, his mother passed away when he was at the age of six. Thomson suffered from heart problems at the age of 9 and even came close to death. Thomson’s biggest contribution to his area of
