Abstract
The paper discusses the Good Samaritan statutes that assert that a person rendering aid to an individual in good faith will not be held liable in civil court if an injury occurs to the individual as a result of that aid. The paper explains that a primary reason for Good Samaritan laws is to encourage people to assist individuals in distress. The paper further explains that legislators wanted to ensure that these individuals could not be sued if they rendered assistance and an injury occurred as a result. The paper focuses on the Good Samaritan law in the state of Virginia.

Introduction
Good Samaritan Laws
The Reason Behind the Creation of Good Samaritan Laws
From the Paper
"Good Samaritan laws are designed to protect individuals that go to the aid of others in the case of an accident or an emergency. The Good Samaritan law is not a federal statute; instead the laws are developed and enforced by the states. The Good Samaritan laws differ from state to state but overall the statutes assert that a person rendering aid to an individual in good faith will not be held liable in civil court if an injury occurs to the individual as a result of the rendering of aid. Some states have very thorough laws concerning good Samaritans. One such state is Virginia."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the implications of the Good Samaritan Law. The writer explains that such laws encourage individuals to come to the aid of those who need assistance during emergency situations without doubting if there are legal implications of their actions. The writer maintains that in general, Good Samaritan Laws are established to protect rescuers from civil liability when providing emergency care. This, in effect, motivates people to help others during emergency situation. The writer concludes that there are still precautionary measures and actions that everybody has to take when helping during emergency situations, especially when most of these situations are a matter of life and death.
From the Paper
"It should be noted that the scope and limitations of the Good Samaritan Law vary from each state. In West Virginia, the Good Samaritan Law applies to medical and non-medical trained people who render emergency care to the victim provided that he/she did not charge the victim and that it is rendered in good faith. In Pennsylvania, the law does not apply to non-medically trained individual who rendered emergency service. In the District of Columbia, individuals who do not have a medical license to assist during emergency is immune from civil liability if they handover the victim to a licensed medical person. Both the physician and the paramedic are not held liable during emergency situation unless it is proven that negligence in handling the victim was committed and that they charge the patient for their service. Although the scope and limitations of the law vary from each state, it is noted that the common variables in implementing this law include the absence of remuneration in rendering service during emergency situations, positive, good-faith effort for helping the victim, and promptness and propriety of actions while delivering the service. And because the provisions of the law differs for each state, it is imperative to know and to understand the coverage of Good Samaritan Law in each state to know if future actions will make a person liable to existing moral and civil laws."

"Good Samaritan Laws
Introduction
This paper will discuss good samaritan laws in the United States. The first part of the paper will discuss the moral aspects of good samaritan laws. The second part of the paper will examine some of the existing provisions in the United States, including both restrictions on liability for actions which assisted others and duties to assist others.
Good samaritan laws derived their names from the biblical tale of the traveling Samaritan who aided an injured Israelite after others refused to do so. In the United States, these laws have been enacted to address the issue of rendering emergency aid to persons who are sick or injured or who are in imminent physical danger. There are two types of good samaritan laws. The first type protects..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the parable of the good Samaritan is one of the most familiar in the New Testament. It tells the story of a man who is harmed by robbers. The writer explains that two men pass him by, but the third stops and goes out of his way to help this stranger. The writer maintains that the parable of the good Samaritan teaches us that we are all the same. It teaches that differences are only skin deep and that we all must depend on our brethren for survival. The writer also explains that, in this parable, Jesus makes an obvious insult to the Pharisees and Levites, who felt more highly of their piousness than of their fellow man. The writer concludes that this parable is an excellent example of the type of actions that could end all conflict. The body of the paper includes a version of the text discussed.

From the Paper
"The most important note on historical context is that Jesus was speaking to the Jews in the passage. The Samaritans and Jews were enemies who despised each other. The tale, as told in the context of the audience had a hidden significance in the ideal of non-discrimination. In this story, a racist was helped by another racist. Through this act, they were brought together for the common good of all. This element is often lost in the retelling of the story because the significance of racial tensions between the groups is not known to modern audiences.
"The key element that is important to a clear understanding of the text is the social setting in which the parable is told. There are racial tensions between the groups sitting in the audience. The essential essence of the parable lies within the conflict between the different groups in the audience."

From the Paper
" At first reading, this parable seems to be easy to understand, although that may be at least partially because it has entered the culture at such a deep level. In a cultural context, the good Samaritan is the person who responds to the need of others, binding up their wounds. It is the individual who does good deeds, who is compassionate, and behaves as a good neighbor within the community as a whole. The good Samaritan is a valuable person within the community.
However, in the form in which it is embedded in the culture, the parable of the good Samaritan has lost some of its rougher edges. It retains some sense that it is not always the professed religious person who behaves in the most loving way, but it does ..."

The paper relates that "Good Night, and Good Luck" tells the story of the CBS broadcast team who overcome immense pressure from sponsors, owners and even the government in an attempt to broadcast the truth to America.

The primary ethical issue is Edward Murrow's quest to maintain what he believes his right from wrong in his reporting of the news. A second ethical issue is Joseph McCarthy's apparent unethical decision to use lies to get his point of view across. He calls anyone that crosses or dares oppose him a Communist.

Abstract
This paper explains that the film "Good Night and Good Luck" is a social commentary and biography of 1950s era CBS television newsman Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965), and the period of the "McCarthy Years". The author points out that the transitions between film shots and real footage was made excellent because both the entire film and the real footage are in black and white and almost always the people inside the CBS studio itself are seen looking at television monitors where this footage is playing. The paper relates that the film was effective visually as a depiction of the 1950s because it was shot it entirely in black and white (as there was no color television in the 1950s), the 1950s-era costumes, the prevalence of cigarette smoke inside the workplace, the 1950s jazz instrumental and vocal music and the overall stark, "no frills" atmosphere of this era and setting.

Murrow. The credits are not given all at once, but rather, mixed in, at evenly-timed short intervals, among the opening shots. The opening credits are not extensive, but mention only the director, producer, and a few others. When these few credits are over, then, wed are already involved in the lead in action of the movie, ..."

Abstract
The writer discusses the duties and involvement that women had in the way as well as examples of patriotism shown by women. We are also given some examples of female heroines from the war.
From the paper:
?When we think about a Southern Belle, we envision a pale, fragile wisp of a woman who swoons if it gets to hot. She is delicate and beautiful and must be taken care of by a man. Over the last centuries this is the image that we have adopted when it comes to the way we perceive Southern women. The reality however is much different. Even during the Civil War women of the Confederate side were tough, capable and willing to do what ever it took to win the war effort against the North.?

"Good Man" According to Aristotle, 2002.
Examines the function of Aristotle's "good man" and "good citizen" in his ideal polis.
2,650 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 6 sources, £ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will approach Aristotle's "good man" in terms of both Aristotle's "Nichomachean Ethics" and his "Politics". It will be argued that the "good man's" relationship with the ideal polis can only be understood in terms of the ethical and political distinction Aristotle draws between the "good man" and the "good citizen". While in the ideal polis the two are identical, in the real world they are separate more often than not. From this perspective, the "good man" may be seen to vindicate the ideal polis in that the perfection of the state is dependent upon all its component units being good.

A Good Woman in Colonial Times, 2007.
An analysis of "Sovereignty and Goodness of Good" by Mary Rowlandson.
1,410 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, £ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how "Sovereignty and Goodness of Good" by Mary Rowlandson is both typical and atypical of captivity narratives of the early American colonial period. The paper examines how the author refers to the Native-Americans as savages. However, as her captivity wore on, and her experiences with the Native-Americans grew more intimate, Mary Rowlandson began to show more compassion and balance in her point of view of the Native-Americans. The paper reveals her morality and culture and maintains that this personal adaptability, combined with a balance and generosity of spirit that marks Mary as a distinct voice, may have garnered Mary's greater acceptance by her captives. The paper adds that it also gains her an additional credit as a historical voice and testimony to early settler and Native conflicts.
From the Paper
"It is true that Mary's religious language makes itself evident in the narrative early on. Mary paints the Native's conflicts with the settlers in black-and-white moral terms and demonstrates the similarity of her perspective with other captive women in her theological viewpoint. Mary's view of the events of her life as a playing-out of Biblical conflicts, rather than a struggle for amoral natural resources shows how her fundamental perspective is still united with the culture of her original English people, throughout her travels with the Indians."

Abstract
An analysis of Bertolt Brecht?s play 'The Good Woman of Setzuan'. Throughout the play Shen Te juggles her promise to be good with the necessity to be bad. The author finds through the protagonist and the creation of her doppelganger, 'The Good Woman of Setzuan' portrays the struggle to be good while living in a corrupt society, and the delicate balance needed to survive within it as seen in Shen Te's struggle as a good woman leading the life of a prostitute.
From the Paper
"Shen Te, a good woman, a prostitute, and the only one willing to take three gods into her home is rewarded with 1000 silver dollars, with which she is to ?above all be good?(712). This mission tears her in two. Shen Te and her doppelganger Shui Ta are in a delicate balance of power. Shen Te needs to keep her promise to the gods by being a good woman, helping those around her in need. Because Shen Te is too good, those she helps threaten to ruin her own survival. To remain a good woman Shen Te must create someone to fight for her. Like parents, both Shui Ta and Shen Te make up the whole of one unit. Shen Te is a nurturing, sweet mother-type while Shui Ta becomes a strict, disciplinarian, father-type. Through the protagonist and the creation of her doppelganger, Brecht?s The Good Woman of Setzuan portrays the struggle to be good while living in a corrupt society, and the delicate balance needed to survive within it."

Moral Goodness, 2002.
An analysis of Aristotle's philosophy of moral goodness, as put forth in his work ?Nicomachean Ethics?.
1,497 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, £ 35.95

Abstract
The paper describes how Aristotle?s concept of moral goodness or righteousness, as expounded in his chief work, entitled ?Nicomachean Ethics,? shows how all human actions are aimed at some good, which is part of a series of goods that lead to an ultimate good. That ultimate good must be complete, final, self-sufficient and unceasing, which is called happiness or ?eudamonia? in Greek. The paper also discusses other ideas which appear in ?Nicomachean Ethics? such as virtue and the good life, which all ultimately link up to moral goodness.
From the Paper
"He defines ?virtue? or ethical ?virtue? as a habit, which disposes a person to act by deliberate choice, being at the mean, and defined by reason as a prudent man would. Virtue is not a single act but a series of acts that proceeds from a habit of acting well. An act is virtuous only if it done deliberately, with full awareness and knowledge, and doing it because it is a noble act. The act must be the golden mean between extremes. And a prudent man is one who exercises the virtue of prudence, which is an intellectual virtue, whereby a person determines the mean in every situation and does it. A virtuous action must also be voluntary, that is, without fear or ignorance, and with proper intention, which works with reason in being performed."
