Geneticists identified six categories of ethical problems encountered in practice: (1) the duty to warn third parties of genetic harm vs. the duty to preserve patient confidentiality; and (2) full disclosure of sensitive information; (3) full disclosure of test results; (4) directive vs. nondirective c…

Conflict resolution in the medieval morality plays
From the dawn of history the drama has been one of society's principal mechanisms for resolving social and psychological conflicts. Dramatic narrative straightens out and simplifies a confused situation; it purifies and channels the release of conflicting emotions. Drama addresses itself to three general types of conflicts: 1) conflicts between socioeconomic classes or political factions; 2) conflicts between the individual and society or god; 3)…

For the first and only time in dramatic history, 'Man' as a generalized type appears on the stage as the central character of the early fifteenth-century English morality plays. The morality play itself, in contrast to the earlier mystery plays, which presented the Biblical drama of world history, represents the story of the individual Christian from birth to death and final salvation.'Mankind' represents all social classes at their lowest common…
