Hi, I need help with essay on The genealogy of Morals by Fredrick Nichi. Paper must be at least 1500 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

His three essays of which the Genealogy of Morals is composed are among his most cohesive works. The three essays provide a progressive, critical analysis of Nietzsche’s basic concern: the origin, persistence and progressively negative impact of Christian morals on the Europe’s mental health. Discussion Essay one: Good and Bad Nietzsche contrasts himself with some English philosophers who he accuses of being misguided in explain altruistic facts as being considered good by those benefitting from them. Nietzsche considers this line of thought to be completely lacking in historical facts in assuming that altruism comes before value judgments. Nietzsche believes that value judgments arose from the natural aristocracy which imposed certain values upon the lower classes (Nietzsche, 2003, 9-14). Nietzsche claims are however unsubstantiated as he offers no historical record. While his claims are based on non provable historical models, his analysis still grabs our attention given his authority as a philologist and his audacity. Given our predilection to consider morality as a function of world religions, Nietzsche in his analysis is thus able to challenge our long held beliefs getting our attention. After attaining out attention and stirring our attitude towards the supremacy of the Greek culture, Nietzsche turns to the depiction of any supposed development and change from this culture to be a corruption of the golden age. He goes on to describe the loss of the grandeur of the Greek values of love and respect for nature and fellow man which has led to degeneration at the hands of systems which allow for uninformed decisions. Nietzsche asserts that the rise of the priest into aristocrats particularly in India and Palestine is what led to the decline of the golden age culture. The Jews having been slaves in Egypt overturn aristocratic model by creating a God who was inclined towards them, vanquished their enemies, and offered them divine inheritance. The rise of priestly class was also intended to make the value creators feel ashamed of themselves for being strong by terming them unclean (Nietzsche, 2003, 15-17). Nietzsche is most articulate in his portrayal of the struggle between the proud honest and strong aristocrat and the vengeful cunning and evil ascetic priest. Nietzsche’s argues against the concept of the priests claiming that strength and weakness are natural states. While the notion of original conflict of value systems may come across as fanciful such as concepts such as Utopia and the Garden of Eden, it still is very compelling in stimulating of alternative value systems. Nietzsche’s assertions make us to ask questions regarding the origin of value systems having rejected the idea of divine origin. An exploration of the modern effects of morality on mankind may also offer great insights on ancient man upon who morality was not an option in the modern sense of the word. Essay Two: Guilt Bad Conscience and the Like Having been successful in portraying the origin of values in Good and Bad, Nietzsche turns his attention to a psychological interpretation in the second essay. It is important for Nietzsche to mould the minds of his audience against their underlying understanding of conscience and their views regarding the motivations of compassion, humbleness and sympathy as portrayed by the ascetic priest.
