Morality of Violence Summary

There are 3 types of moral views towards violence. (1) One being that violence is never justified and immoral no matter the reason or cause of action; (2) only when violence is for the greater good of society, then it will be seen as moral; (3) and the third one being that the type of violence used and the effects that it has -- if it's worth taking that action and what good does it bring to society. There is, of course, debates within religions, like Christianity, arguing whether enemies and friends should be viewed as equals or not. Benito Mussolini believed that violence was the expression of human will and seen it as moral.

Natural Morality Summary

Natural morality is the development of social morals within a human society due to evolutionary beliefs and occurrences. Charles Darwin's evolution theory is what lead to the concept of natural morality. Two sides of the spectrum: altruism, being the highest form of morality which is the care for other's welfare and has a societal spread of genuine kindness; and selfishness which is based off experience and maturity through negatively impactful events. Both can be used for sympathy and survival through instincts and natural selection. These concepts are different between animals and human beings, as humans has the ability to change based on past experiences and the judgement of others, with the sharing the feeling of regret and shame that an animal may have.

Assignment 7 Start on Draft (Modern Society in Egypt)

Modern Egypt has been slowly developed over the years, technologically, politically, socially, and architecturally. Though, population has been rising gradually over the past 70 years [population of 103,719,211 on March 12, 2021], poverty slowly decreases due to the assistance of programs such as the Habitat for Humanity, which has helped lessen the lack of housing and renovation in the slums, and CARE, which has helped organize and make better quality schooling and learning available for the not-so fortunate children. Even with the slow growth in the economy, rising to 5.6% GDP in 2020 Egypt still lives in a hierarchy between the wealthy and poor.

In Egypt, the country is divided by 27 governorates; Alexandria, Aswan, Asyut, Beheira, Beni Suef, Cairo, Dakahlia, Damietta, Faiyum, Gharbia, Giza, Helwan, Ismailia, Kafr el-Sheikh, Luxor, Matruh, Minya, Monufia,El Wadi el Gedid or New Valley, North Sinai, Port Said, Qalyubia, Qena, Al Bahr Al Ahmar, Sharqia, Sohag, South Sinai, Suez. With each one having its own governor appointed by the president [currently of 2021, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi], Cairo being Egypt's capitol and most populated city receives the most attention due to its long history, effective education system and adaptation to a successful economy mainly from its tourism.

Languages

Egyptian Arabic, or Modern Standard Arabic is commonly spoken in Egypt with 68% of natives and migrants speaking this language. Egyptian Arabic took the place of traditional Arabic due the influential combination of other languages such as Coptic, Turkish, Ottoman, and even French and Italian, making it easier to communicate with those of other countries. This leaves the traditional Arabic at only 1.6% of Egypt's population, often being spoken for Islamic religion purposes. Sa'idi Arabic [29%] also takes the place of Sudanese Arabic [0.6%] for similar reasons to the influence of Egyptian Arabic. The Sudanese immigrants developed into the Egyptian culture, adapting into their languages. English has also been a widely spoken language within Egypt, with currently 35% of Egyptians speaking English as their second language. This is because Egyptian schools have widely taught English to students for future business opportunities. This also lead to public signs and boards having English translations around main urban areas commonly used for tourism, such as Cairo and Alexandria.

Traditions and Social Norms

Religion

Islamic and Muslim religions are still heavily practiced within all of Egypt, specifically under the Sunni branch. Christianity also makes about 10% of Egypt's population, followed by Judaism with less than a few hundred believers.

The Poor

Entering the 21st century, Egypt is still one of many countries heavily stuck in the poverty trap. Due to continuous rise in an already high population, Egypt's poverty is nowhere near being situated, lacking the resources, such as healthcare, clean drinking water, education, and job opportunities, to care for the majority. In 2018, Egyptians lived under poverty line of 32.5%, 4.7% higher than in 2015, with the maximum pay being under two dollars a day. This lead to the banning of unauthorized protests and restriction of criticism towards the government after the poor and Middle-class retaliated due to the spike of pricing on goods.

With 34.2% of Egypt's population being under the age of 15, 7.3% of children between the ages of 6 and 20 drop out of school in order to financially support their families. This is also due to the lack of efficient teaching, skill-required jobs, and many overcrowded schools.
