Why do many people consider Socrates to be a martyr for truth and integrity?

Socrates is considered by many to be a martyr for truth and integrity because of his courage and adherence to traditional beliefs. He was charged with charges of atheism, treason, and corrupting the youth of Athens – all death penalties, just for questioning tradition. Even in spite of all the powerful people he offended, no one seemed too eager to kill him and his cell door pretty much remained open for him to escape. Yet, when his execution day arrived, he drank his cup of poison and died. Socrates was determined to force the people of Athens to accept responsibility for their choice of comfortable superstition over logic and reason.

What is the primary focus of the virtue of ethics theory?

The primary focus is one’s character, especially the personal disposition to act well in various circumstances. What really guides our behavior as humans is not ultimately self-centeredness or explicit commitments to moral rules or results but rather the deep patterns of each of our personalities and behaviors.

Explain the basic concept of a right.

The basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are considered to be entitled, often held to include the rights to life, liberty, equality, and a fair trial, freedom from slavery and torture, and freedom of thought and expression
Basic rights

Explain the meaning of the Equal Liberties Principle.
In other words, people have the basic freedom to do whatever they want to do. The only limitation on this moral freedom is our duty to extend these same rights and freedoms to others. Our only moral duty is to avoid violating the rights of others
“Everyone is entitled to as many rights and liberties (freedoms) as possible, as long as rights and liberties are not taken from others.”

Name two points in support of welfare as a “right” and two points in support of welfare as a “privilege.”
Fact: The welfare benefits has been controversial throughout U.S. history. Since the colonial period, government welfare policy has reflected the belief that the indigent are responsible for their poverty, leading to the principle that governmental benefits are a privilege and not a right. Until the Great Depression of the 1930s, state and local governments bore some responsibility for providing assistance to the poor. It is based upon the assumption by a political state of primary responsibility for the individual and social welfare of its citizens usually by the enactment of specific public policies (as health and unemployment insurance, minimum wages and prices, and subsidies to agriculture, housing, and other segments of the economy) and their implementation directly by governmental agencies. This is also a fact and as a US a citizen this is also your legal right.
However the “right” and privileges” are a different shade entirely when it comes to the welfare aspects because both are one and the same to me when it come to the welfare of someone well-being.
“Give a man a handout today — and tomorrow he’ll probably be back for another. Create a job for a man today — and tomorrow he will pay his own way, his family’s way, a part of the cost of his government, and may be able himself to help the needy.”

What is veracity?
The principle of telling the truth. In this chapter, the focus is on the issue of whether doctors should always tell their patients the truth about their medical conditions, even if they fear it might harm the patient to know.
4. What is autonomy?
The principle of having control/freedom to make decisions concerning one’s medical care/treatments.
6. What is therapeutic privilege?
The view, based on Hippocratic reasoning, that the physician is morally bound to do whatever will benefit the patient, even if that means lying or withholding information.
7. Define informed consent and explain its importance in regard to patients’ rights.
Informed consent- The moral and legal doctrine that patients and research subjects are entitled to give their permission (or refuse their permission) for involvement in treatments or research after being provided adequate information and substantial voluntariness of choice. The reasoning for this is as a patient, we have certain rights. Some are guaranteed by federal law, such as the right to get a copy of your medical records, and the right to keep them private. However many states have additional laws protecting patients, and healthcare facilities often have a patient bill of rights along with the importance of patient right there is also informed consent. This means that if you need a treatment, your health care provider must give you the information you need to make a decision that you feel is best for you. While m any hospitals have patient advocates who can help you if you have problems. Many states have an ombudsman office for problems with long term care. Your state's department of health may also be able to help.
