And we're moving...

So unfortunately today was a stretch for me to write about something.  I am fresh out of ideas, and since I am not exactly a newsroom, I don't think much has changed since our last meeting (chuckle).

Wednesday nights I have a philosophy class, entitled Bioethics.  It is a course which "teaches" (you'll understand later) how to be a professional in your job.  This course mostly focuses on the healthcare field, determining what is and is not good for the patient.

I am not exactly in the healthcare field.  I was my freshman year, but now I want to pursue a career in environmental law.

I took the course because I needed a final philosophy course, and I didn't want to take a course on a specific Gospel or religion.  Plus I am going to be a professional.  So why not?

My professor is a doctor (M.D.) and a Jesuit at the local VA hospital.  And the course isn't exactly the best teacher.  Or the way the course is laid out is the problem.  I have only learned that as a professional, I cannot take advantage of clients, as well as be ethical in the way I approach a client's work.  Those are the only tenants I have learned thus far, with multiple philosophers to tell me their opinions of ethics in healthcare.

So besides that, we had guest speakers my last class.  They were supporters of the United Federation of Nations.  Now, I understand that many of you are either going "Where are you going with that?" or "Star Trek Federation?"  This is actually a movement to make the United Nations more powerful and  a real governing body of the world (like Star Trek...).

So why am I bringing this up?  Because I liked the option of having a complete world governing body.  The proposition basis this world order on a checks and balances system.  Countries gain representation to the system through a mixture of wealth, size and population.  All of the countries will resolve problems and conflicts in the world legislation, and make sure that countries uphold a standard of human rights for all.  Trade and corporations will be accountable to the world, not individual states.

So most of what I said above are the beliefs of the group.  And I think that having a world governing body will help resolve issues that are in the world today.  I take the issues that the Ukraine is having as an example.  The United nations actually told Russia that they couldn't take Crimea.  Or they just asked if Putin stayed out.  Either way, a world federation would put their foot down on whether Russia laid claim to that territory or not.  Also, It would be nice to see that companies with stakes in countries outside of their home territories to avoid certain laws that would "constrain" their business.

If you have any questions about this movement, comment below with questions or your own opinions.

Until next time.
