 My sixth post: Ancient Greek Ethics.

Clarification: I have been researching a little more for my post, so I usually cite many magazines and research pages, I hope it is not a problem.
"While the moral theory does not invent morality or even reflection on it, it does try to bring systematic thinking to bear on the phenomenon. Ancient moral theory, however, does not attempt to be a comprehensive account of all the phenomena that fall under the heading of morality. Rather, assuming piecemeal opinions and practices, it tries to capture its underlying essence. It is the nature of such an enterprise to evaluate and criticize some of these opinions and practices but that is not its primary goal." (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).
I read that the ancient theories on ethics are those of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hedonism, Epicurus.
The old ethical theories were based on the perspectives that each philosopher had, they dealt with the virtues that others pose physically and spiritually. "Virtue is a general term that translates the Greek word aretê."
Feelings and emotions also play a very important role in these theories, I have been researching some, and most of them mention and emphasize a specific mention: happiness. Believe it or not, it is one of the most named emotions in the writings of the ancients. Whether happiness is the one who takes hold of you or not, they depended a lot on it, time to justify an action.
We can see how through time, ethicists have been revolutionizing their thoughts and observations, perhaps due to the circumstances that were lived in their times. Currently, there are many advances, many new perspectives, it is incredible how our thinking evolves, some of us are NO longer rooted in old ideas, but as the world advances, we do it and on the other hand, there are people who still adopt thoughts ancient, staying in the past, and you, how are you?

 My fifth post: GMO pros and cons. According to the non-GMO project: "A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism, or another organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacterial, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods". So, what is the problem with GMOs? Since everything has good characteristics, it also has bad characteristics. Pros:  1- Many crops have been genetically modified, in this way they obtain a gene that generates poison for pests, this keeps the harvest alive, and do not worry, the poison is not lewd for humans. 2-There is another gene in crops that have been modified to make them resistant to harsh environments, such as droughts.  3- Even genetic modification is used to improve the flavor of some crops. SUMMARY ACCORDING HEALTH LINE:  The main concerns aroun...

  My tenth post: The death penalty. According with DPIC, More than 8500 people have been sentenced since the 1970s. The death penalty discourages criminals from committing serious crimes. And according to the Washington state government. The methods of execution have gradually become more humane over the years, so the argument that the death penalty is cruel and unusual is not valid. Without the death penalty, some criminals would continue to commit crimes. The death penalty is not revenge, it is retribution. Retribution is not the same as revenge. Retribution is a necessary part of the punishment process. The legal system is constantly evolving to maximize justice. Just because the legal system can make a wrong decision does not mean that the death penalty is wrong. Alphonse Karr says: "I agree that societies decree abolish the death penalty; but that murderers begin to abolish it", but today I say that I am in favor of murderers and criminals being seen in the same way th...

 My second post. My second post: what is my position about feminism? First of all, what is feminism or the feminist movement? According to the international women's development agency (IWDA), feminism is "  about all genders having equal rights and opportunities. It’s about respecting diverse women’s experiences, identities, knowledge, and strengths, and striving to empower all women to realize their full rights. It’s about leveling the playing field between genders, and ensuring that diverse women and girls have the same opportunities in life available to boys and men". Being this a movement that seeks to revolutionize the perspectives of stereotypes imposed on women in the most remote times, why is there so much controversy and reluctance, even by women themselves towards this movement? I think that we should all be feminists, for the 10 women who die in Mexico every day, for Fernanda, for Claudia, for Susi, for all the women who have been abused and those who have not,...
