The voluntary brainwashing of humanities students in Stanford's MBA program: student complaints and some recommendations

Article Abstract:

The book 'Snapshots from Hell: The Making of an MBA' by Peter Robinson was written as a guide for those aspiring to have an MBA degree. It is about a humanities student's traumatic experience during his first year in the Stanford 1988-1990 MBA program. Although at the beginning Robinson hated the MBA curriculum, he became a convert of the educational process in the end. The chronological snapshots of Robinson's transformation and his major complaints about business professors are presented. Some recommendations for business school reforms are proposed.

Treating anorexics without consent: some reservations

Article Abstract:

The dilemma posed by instances of anorexics refusing treatment is both a moral and existential one. The view that anorexics should be treated even without their consent is based on their alleged incompetence on matters of decisionmaking because the illness, which is considered a mental disorder, has negatively affected their brain. On the other hand, there is the opinion that anorexics have the right to refuse therapy if the goal is simply prolonging a wretched life and not really improving the quality of life itself.

Mass immunisation programmes: some philosophical issues

Article Abstract:

The article concludes that pro-immunisation policies are different from compulsory immunisation and that there is no justification for the latter.
