You can also quite happily marry your first cousin or uncle or aunt in Australia, and that certainly has birth defect risks as the UK has found out the hard way with their Pakistani population.
Like Like. Conrad — Fair comments. Is it really that likely that a significant proportion of rich men will marry multiple women? It seems that the subset of people who would want to do it and are rich enough to do so would be relatively small and would probably have little effect on the supply of women wishing to marry. Really, the laws against polygamy are mainly a holdover of a Judeo-Christian legal system and a limited demand from people to practice polygamy. The prohibition on polygamy is not a holdover from a Judeo-Christian legal system, because it is permitted to Jews.
I am still unclear about what is being debated. Is there any more to it than that? But I do think people could without inconsistency support gay marriage and oppose polygamy, contrary to what Lapkin supposes. Rajat — It is largely a symbolic issue in Australia, since marriage has already been largely emptied of legal significance. The main advantage is that an actual marriage is conclusive proof of a relationship, which can otherwise sometimes be difficult to prove.
Either you do it for religious reasons or for cultural historic reasons. The issue is that gay marriage is a massive step towards gay adoption, surogacy and the like. I think it does count for wills and life insurance, etc… but a de-facto applies in the same way.
M — The slippery slope is working the other way with surrogacy, adoption and the like, since in many Australian jurisdictions they are already legal for gays. So given all these kids are going to end up in gay households, it is better that their carers are encouraged to get married. I believe the slippery slope argument is always very weak.
Our legal system as well as our moral beliefs involve drawing lines along a spectrum — or slope, if you prefer. When is killing or assaulting a person justified?
Just war, self defence. What actions legal and unobjectionable in private are illegal if done in public? As related to politics, incrementalism was coined by Charles Lindblom, Yale Professor and subversive communist. Verified by Psychology Today.
For example, Govier suggests that the process of psychological assimilation acts as a catalyst for slippery slope arguments and that the Sorites paradox provides an example: It is morally wrong to kill a sentient being, and a foetus at the time of birth T is a sentient being.
An example can be the case of someone person 1 wanting to engage in a behaviour that another person person 2 disapproves of. The path to corrupt behavior may sometimes be a steep cliff instead of a slippery slope, according to findings published in Psychological Science. In four studies, psychology researchers find that people are more likely to engage in bribery if it occurs as a sudden opportunity rather than as the result of a gradual process.
But, this would be incorrect. Despite the initial assertion, little to no evidence is actually given to support or prove the causality of this relationship. In a slippery slope argument, a course of action is rejected because, with little or no evidence, one insists that it will lead to a chain reaction resulting in an undesirable end or ends.
Definition of slippery slope : a course of action that seems to lead inevitably from one action or result to another with unintended consequences Examples of slippery slope in a Sentence His behavior will lead him down a slippery slope to ruin.
The slippery slope argument asserts that the initial step taken is a precursor to a chain of events that eventually lead to undesirable or disastrous results.
If you have not heard the term incrementalism it is time to understand the political and psychological implication of this concept. On the other hand, SSAs can be wrong, unlikely or emotionally loaded; but, so can other types of arguments. Thus, the course of action is rejected. Stephen J. Betchen D. If this subject is relevant to Psychology Wiki, consider creating this article. This formulation is known as the psychological slippery slope argument.
The SSA is perceived as fallacious primarily for reasons of relevance and certainty. A causal slippery slope relates to arguments that suggest a minor action will lead to a major and potentially catastrophic event.
