Function determines the moral nature:
Smith
Smith, Michael; “On Normativity”; http://www.princeton.edu/msmith/mypapers/OnNormativity.pdf
"Thomson argues for... a goodness-fixing kind"
MacIntyre explains ethics (After Virtue Pg 47-48)
"the counter example...of each other"
Objects get their purpose from the agents who construct them; a house is built for shelter, so a good house keeps out the rain. Cronk explains:
Cronk, Greg. "Reaction Paper on Sartre." Bergson.edu. Bergson, n.d. Web. 29 July 2013
"to explain this...is a choice"
The standard is maintaining consistency with the function of the United States criminal justice system.
Part 3 is the offense:
I contend that the function of the criminal justice system is created for a truth-seeking function rather than giving rights to those guilty of crimes. Landyoo:
The Origin of Language “The Criminal Justice System” 2011 http://theoriginoflanguage.com/the-criminal-justice-system/
"The criminal justice...wrong you are."
Also, if you don’t buy that, the Department of Justice in its Mission Statement explains its function as:
http://www.justice.gov/about/about.html Department of Justice
"To enforce the... for all Americans."
Part 4 is the Underview:
First, the representation of the individual is actually helped under the affirmative world. Zacharias :
"If the client...and well represented"
Second, the costs of the attorney-client privilege outweigh the protection of individual autonomy. Goldfarb :
"One can also...that once incident"
Lastly, ethics that terminate in rule making are circular. The primary dilemma of morality is that action-based ethics terminate into arbitrary axioms as it exists within a closed system, therefore it cannot say anything meaningful about the state of affairs outside that system.

"An agent can...can be given"
