Grammar Checker in the Cloud

Whenever I'm not sure if a phrase I'm writing, I Google a portion of it to see if someone else used it the way I want to use it. It's fast and most of the time accurate since language is how it's used. So it's not hard to imagine that one can create a grammar checker that does just that: compares your text with the Cloud to see if you're using the language the same way.

Feminist Ethics

After reading Mary Raugust's proposal for feminist ethics I filled with a sense of wisdom! That I read something so different and yet so reasonable. It had been a while ...
  1. The central priority of ethics is not the concept of individual rights but of relationship with other human beings.
  2. The principle goal of ethics is not autonomy and liberty of individual humans, rather it is “the giving and receiving of care appropriate to specific persons and their situations.”
  3. Interdependence over individualism.
  4. The “other” with whom one deals morally must be distinctly personified and not an impersonal faceless abstraction.
  5. Moral judgments emerge from actual situations and are not derived by applying logical formulate to general principles.
  6. Feminist ethics are “accepting rather than transformative.”
  7. Feminist ethics will be a morality of virtues rather than primarily one of justice.
