Why Doesn’t Ethics Work? — Reducing the Hidden Cost of Crime and Recidivism

Do you know your country’s recidivism rate (though the definition may vary by country) or the cost of running prisons?While some reforms like privatization have been introduced, there are still major challenges, including protecting the human rights of incarcerated people. We may never eliminate all accidents or mistakes, but if people truly understood ethics, they might not even want to commit crimes in the first place. So, why does ethics fail to work? I explored this question and summarized my thoughts in an English draft. If this helps reduce the burden for those who need ethics, or for those who are trying to teach it, I would be glad. You… Why Doesn’t Ethics Work? — Reducing the Hidden Cost of Crime and Recidivism

The Problem of Mary Magdalene from the New Testament Meeting Jesus while Fantine from Les Misérables Remains Unsaved

1. I do not intend to criticize prostitution or sex workers. It might be their form of self-expression, or there could be underlying causes such as childhood abuse that only mental health professionals can determine. However, one thing is clear: Why is the responsibility of the buyers ambiguous while the sellers end up in socially vulnerable positions? Perhaps it’s because we know that human dignity is at stake. 2. Call centers don’t just listen to conversations; they need to solve problems. Whether in writing or voice calls, they require sensitivity. If the government establishes call centers, people can voice their dissatisfaction with national politics. This way, even people with extreme… The Problem of Mary Magdalene from the New Testament Meeting Jesus while Fantine from Les Misérables Remains Unsaved

Through Education, Let’s Reclaim Enjoyable Learning and Our True Selves

Did you ever find rainfall mysterious as a child? Did you ever feel frustrated when your small hands couldn’t accomplish what your parents or guardians seemed to do effortlessly, as if by magic? When did education start to appear hopeless and difficult to us? Learning new things should be enjoyable by nature. Is it because enjoyment alone isn’t enough and competition is necessary? But could you break the 10-second barrier in a 100-meter race if you were the only competitor? Stimulating each other through rivalry has its positive aspects. The negative side is simple. Just keep looking at things on Instagram that make you envious. You can do the same… Through Education, Let’s Reclaim Enjoyable Learning and Our True Selves

Creating a World Where No One Needs to Flee: Redefining International Migration and Responsibility

Introduction Are philosophy and ethics powerless?I felt that the UNHCR’s principle of non-refoulement, compared to 1951, has become an empty formality as something “beyond dispute” in today’s world where population has increased and society has become more complex. I am not a politician. However, I can think about speeches. I wondered if I could support those who actually solve problems. This is because I believe that if there is a possibility to contribute as a citizen, it is the responsibility of those with intelligence to put it into words.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Fictional Speech Manuscript This fictional speech was written with the hope of contributing to international society by sharing issues through this… Creating a World Where No One Needs to Flee: Redefining International Migration and Responsibility

Beyond a Single Win: Building Sustainable Competitiveness with Ethics and Education

  • by

Summary Beyond merely winning competitions, it’s about ensuring that competition is fair, with safety nets and opportunities for those who fail to try again, maximizing human potential across society. To achieve this, we argue for the necessity of exploring ethical foundations that transcend time and culture, and incorporating them into education and social systems. Thought experiments like the Mitochondrial Eve and logical analysis of meritocracy demonstrate intellectual courage to question existing common sense and authority rather than accepting them unquestioningly, and to re-examine fundamental principles. Building a Society for True Competition When considering ethics, knowledge from traditional disciplines such as theology and Buddhism is useful. The problems with arbitrary application… Beyond a Single Win: Building Sustainable Competitiveness with Ethics and Education

From PvP to Party Play: Reframing Partnership as a Cooperative Game

  • by

Introduction: Note: This essay is written from the perspective of a person with SOGI as a heterosexual cisgender male, based on personal experiences. I do not wish to impose my views on readers. As Professor Butler’s concept of performativity suggests, identity is established through repeatedly performing societal expectations. Gender is not a binary opposition but exists on a spectrum—diverse and not fixed. However, biological differences and hormonal influences should also be considered as factors that affect communication styles. I have therefore simplified my writing. I honestly acknowledge to the reader that this expression emerged because describing the spectrum rather than binary opposition or stereotypes is not the theme of this… From PvP to Party Play: Reframing Partnership as a Cooperative Game

To Ms. Mira Murati and the Thinking Machines Team, As someone who has survived as a minority in Japan, I am inherently an outsider. This external perspective is effective in preventing bureaucracy. Your “Open science” is important not only for transparency but also because it allows focus on innovation while avoiding unnecessary competition in an era where AI can make cutting-edge technology a commodity. What is ethics? Ethics is the ability to accurately consider what should be done, even when something is possible, in unprecedented situations. That’s why your “Ethical AI deployment” is not only right but also scientific and logical. I understand that your “Personalized systems” is a critique… An Open Letter on Ethics and the Future, Written Because 6wajk07p.paperform.co Redirects to paperform.co
