Neuropsychology Of Moral Solving

Improved Essays
Problem solving is the process of coming up with a solution to a specific problem. There are two states of affair: the goal state and the current state. I related this subject matter to one of my current situations. My goal this semester is to get an A in one of my hardest science classes while my current state is my current standing grade of a B. This problem requires a nonroutine problem solving because I am not guaranteed a solution. Although, I can make it into a well-defined problem. I have a clearly described goal and an obvious clear ending of wanting an A in the course. Another part of the lecture that drew my attention was the Neuropsychology of Moral Reasoning. I have heard this scenario many times throughout my life and every time

    This paper seeks to investigate how religion and moral psychology can be used to explain U.S. national defense decisions made by President Dwight D. Eisenhower during his administration. While often underrepresented in scholarship, government leaders frequently integrate religion into policies to gain support for domestic affairs and international relations. Eisenhower’s ecumenical religion fosters a civil religion to unite individuals against Communism; his initiatives including public prayer, oratory religious appeals, and Christian ideology contribute to this effort. Jonathan Haidt’s moral foundations theory helps generate an explanation for specific national defense strategies such as nuclear deterrence, missile defense, space institution establishment, and educational initiatives. Analysis of the specified policies reveals a correlation between five moral foundations and Eisenhower's national defense strategy as well as alignment between Eisenhower’s political leaning and foundations attributed to liberals or conservatives.…

    The Complexities of PTSD The modern day term PTSD was originally used to describe a soldier who was adversely affected by war. (An example for this would be seeing so many people getting shot and then killed.) Over the course of time and studies, researchers found that the Holocaust, natural disasters, and man-made disasters could also lead to PTSD symptoms. PTSD has evolved into a more common diagnosis but still each person evaluated must meet the criteria needed to classify their illness as PTSD, but there is a very thin line between PTSD and moral injury. PTSD can affect many people and ages.…

    Neuroscientist, author, and philosopher Dr. Sam Harris defines the moral or good action as ‘that which promotes happiness and well-being for the species, and is based on empathy towards other creatures.’ Despite the contemporary viewpoint of morality, this framework allows for some objective moral criteria. Murder can be viewed as evil, as excessive amounts of killing would prevent the species from propagating and surviving—thus decreasing overall well-being. Lying would also be considered immoral, as communication would be ultimately useless if everyone were to lie. While there are several actions not intrinsically “good” or “evil” according to this belief system, its ideals generally reflect the values that are, as biologists and psychologists…

    There is also a strong possibility that psychopathy is related to genetics, being passed from parent to child. A strong connection between childhood trauma to the frontal lobes or the region that allows human emotion and abuse exists between psychopaths as well. Psychopathic brains have a reduction of gray matter, fewer neurons, and increased white matter in the frontal lobes which causes more connections between the neurons- cells that transmit nerve impulses; it also is consistent with a defect in the taking away of the white matter that allows for brain growth. The reduced gray matter means that damage may be done causing neural atrophy which causes the breakdown of neurons. All of this contributes to the psychopath’s inability to navigate…

    Although, the strong link between sadistic crime and neuropsychology is apparent, damage to specific areas of the brain are not the only possible causes of aggression/violence. Other possible causes which may lead to sadistic crime include, but are not limited to, substance abuse, psychological disorders, previous physical and/or sexual abuse, parents’ upbringing, abandonment as well as an individual’s socio-economic status (Bufkin & Luttrell, 2005; Tiihonen et al., 2008). Therefore, it would be incorrect to say brain anomalies is the only cause of sadistic crime.…
