| A question of morality: |
[28 May 2007|04:11pm] |
What do you think of the following moral dilemma?
A parent drug tests their child (let us assume he/she is over 18, to imply they are legally adults) due to suspicion of marijuana use, and the child is a user. The child cheats on the test and passes. Was it wrong to cheat on the test? Was it wrong of the parents to drug test their child in the first place?
How I see it, there are several strong points for both sides of the dilemma.
For the first side, "Of the parents":
-The parents are doing the test for the best interest of their child. They see the drug use as something that is detrimental to the child's life.
-Inentionally decieving someone is wrong no matter what the conditions. The purpose of the test is to see if the child was in fact using the drugs, and cheating defeats the purpose.
-Drug use is wrong because the law says so. It is the parent's responsibility to keep their child a law-abiding citizen.
-Testing the child is the right thing to do because the child will be punished if he/she does not pass.
And the second side, "Of the child":
-It is the child's own choice if he/she wants to use drugs. As legal adults, it is his/her own choice of what he/she want to do with their lives.
-Marijuana use, if controlled, is not detrimental to one's life.
-It's none of the parent's business what the child does with his/her free time, to the extent of smoking. Doing somethiing that doesn't harm you or others shouldn't be shunned by society.

| Woo!! LIFE Update |
[15 Dec 2006|12:46am] |
Life has been good.
Here are various random tid-bits:
-Fun day today w/ Grace! Went to Venice & watched most of America's Next Top Model Season 2 on VH1. Ate burritos at El Sombrero #2 (#1 burned down :-()
-I will be attending XMas '06 at Krystal's on Sat
-I will be notifying TMAN and FOB via my online post and will then suggest that we carpool to the aforementioned event
-I failed my final in math 2b despite my best efforts- but it doesn't really matter because that class doesn't even fulfill any of my math requirements (WTF undecided major- I wasn't informed of this until there was one week left in the quarter by my advisor)
-Passed the rest of classes (Intro to Philos & Intro to Psych)
Woot.
Edit: even though I failed my final in math I still ended up with a pass ^^

I miss you, California!
Although the beauty of Kawaii caught me by surprise, I must say that there are various things I prefer in California over this:
-Much, much cooler
-Less bug bites
-No sea urchins in the ocean
-More stuff to do!
Anywho, I'll be getting back on the 13th probably around 9 PM. I leave for college on the 16th mid-afternoon, so hopefully I can say hi to everybody who I need to before then.

i cannot seem to understand the point to life.
everything i do seems to be a filler of time that is merely temporary happiness.
i feel like i cannot find true happiness.
i feel like i am unable to connect with most people in any way.
the only thing i can seem to think that would make a point to life would be to fall in love, and since i am unable to connect with people that is very hard for me to achieve.
i'll probably get over this in a bit (and get onto the monotony that fills up the pointlessness of my life).

So I was browsing the intar-web, looking for some new news on the long awaited 7G iPod (supposedly coming out Q4-2006 or possibly Q1-2007), and instead I found a lovely article outlining how iPods have been being made in factories in China that over-work their employees. It would be easier just to quote it.
"The Mac web is buzzing with a report yesterday by ChinaCSR , a corporate social responsibility website focused on China, which claimed that iPod manufacturer Foxconn had admitted that their employees work about 80 extra hours each month, which is 44 hours over the maximum 36 hours overtime work allowed in Chinese law. The site also claimed that Apple's special investigatory team had signed off on the factory conditions, apparently even after the news broke."
So I think back to iPods, and I remember that nifty little U2 "Special Edition" iPod that they flaunt on the mac site-
Basically, U2 is endorsing the poor working conditions and over-worked (and no doubt underpaid) factory workers that make their special edition iPod. Pretty sweet. (For those of you who don't know, Bono of U2 has been quite the humanitarian over the years and was even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in the years of 2003-2006.)
