Attached are the guidelines for the project. The paper itself only needs to be between 3-5 pages. Each Module attachment was created to help build the paper. I am open to any additions or changes that would make the paper better. I am just very overwhelmed wrapping up nursing school with this class and preparing for boards.

ETHC 101

Page 1 of 2

ETHICAL FRAMEWORKS ESSAY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

This assignment requires you to compare two ethical frameworks and to argue for which

framework is strongest. You will write a 7001000-word essay (not including footnotes, the title

page, table of contents, and bibliography) that combines your insights and arguments into a

single carefully-articulated work. Format should be 12pt, Times New Roman font and in one of

the three major writing styles (MLA, APA, or Turabian). A template will be provided.

INSTRUCTIONS

Now that you have learned about competing ethical theories write a 7001000-word essay that

compares and contrasts two theories, identifying which theory more closely aligns with a

Christian worldview and which theory challenges this understanding. You may choose from any

ethical framework we have covered in the course Relativism, Utilitarianism, Egoism, Duty

Ethics, Virtue Ethics, Natural Law, and Divine Command. Remember that some of these

frameworks have much in common with a Christian ethic, so you should be mindful of making

important distinctions. For example, pay attention to how a Christian ethic would interpret

concepts like virtue, law, or duty in comparison to other popular models we have covered

so far. The textbooks will be extremely helpful in this regard.

Your paper should be divided into four sections and must meet the minimum word count for

each section (not including citations, bibliography).

1) In your view, what is a Christian approach to ethics? Is it primarily a duty ethic, virtue ethic,

natural law ethic, divine command ethic, or some combination of them? To answer this

question, consider its sources of authority, how it is grounded, how it defines goodness, and

any strengths or weaknesses it has. (minimum 200 words)

2) What alternative ethical framework poses the greatest challenge to a Christian ethic (e.g.,

Relativism, Utilitarianism, Egoism, Duty Ethics, Virtue Ethics, Natural Law, or even some

variation of Divine Command)? To answer this question, define what the theory is and its

sources of authority. Also, consider how it defines goodness, any strengths or weaknesses it

has, and similarities it shares with a Christian ethic. (minimum 200 words)

3) Which framework is stronger? In other words, which theory has greater explanatory power

and is more defensible (philosophically/theologically/morally/historically)? Explain your

answer (minimum 300 words)

4) Bibliography. Remember, your citations and bibliography do not count toward the 1000-

e sure to carefully define your terms, articulate the strengths and weaknesses of each theory,

and defend your position. You are expected to support your position with rational arguments,

fitting examples, and expert sources. Any quotes or information used from sources other than

yourself must be cited. Summarize whenever possible and do not use large quotations. You will

be evaluated for conciseness and accuracy.

You will be penalized for falling short or exceeding the word count. This is a university-

level writing assignment and therefore it must be carefully proofread, free of grammar, spelling,

and punctuation errors. Do not use slang, emoticons, or abbreviations (as if you are texting or

sending an email to a friend).

You are expected to cite at least two of the textbooks and at least two external, academic

sources in your essay. These external sources would include books, journal articles, periodicals,

and similar publications. You may use online sources, but DO NOT use websites such as

Wikipedia, online dictionaries, online encyclopedias, and blogs as these do not count as

academic sources and should not be used. Biblical references are encouraged but will not count

as an academic source.

All citations, whether parenthetical or footnotes, should include a page number for

accuracy. For APA use the author-year-page format (Author, Year, p. #). For MLA, use the

author-page format (Author p#). For Turabian, use footnotes that include page numbers.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Part II. Longer Answer Questions (responses should be roughly a couple of detailed paragraphs). Be sure not only to state the main ideas and arguments but to explain them in specific detail. Examples help to illustrate your understanding. FOUR questions will be on the exam (that I select) and students will have to answer all four questions. (Students should be sure to answer all four questions so as not to lose substantial points!) 1. Define Subjective Ethical Relativism and explain how it differs from Ethical Objectivism and Conventional Relativism. Identify some strengths or appeals of the theory. Finally, explain two critiques Pojman makes against subjective relativism. Use an example to illustrate the criticisms. 2. Define Conventional Ethical Relativism and explain how it differs from Ethical Objectivism and Subjection Relativism. Next, identify some strengths or appeals of the theory. Select one of the main criticisms of Conventional Ethical Relativism and explain the argument in detail. Use an example or two that help to illustrate the criticism. 3. Define Psychological Egoism (as opposed to Ethical Egoism) and then explain the argument from Self-Satisfaction that is used to support it. What is the critique of this argument? Use an example to illustrate the critique. 4. Identify some of the main ideas of Ayn Rands virtue of selfishness. Summarize the main argument in support of her Ethical Egoism. What are two main criticisms of Rands egoism? Use an example to illustrate one of the criticisms. 5. Explain Hobbess theory of the state of nature. What are the consequences of this state? Next explain how social contract theory provides a solution to it. Be specific in showing why accepting this solution makes the most rational sense for an egoist. 6. What are Mills position regarding the morality of an action in its relation to: (a) self-sacrifice, (b) motive, and (c) that it takes too long to calculate which action will lead to greatest happiness. Again, use examples to illustrate the claims Mill makes. Finally, explain some critiques that can be made against these claims?

I need a critique written based off of this article. Mine are typically around 1 page. Must be cited in APA 7 formatting

I have already done part 1 of the instructions. I just need assistance with all of part 2 of the assignment. Part 1 is attached as Future Reflection and the assignment details are attached under ethics final project.

Thinking about the chapter on you read this week on privacy and the government and the tension often created between the two, should governments have the authority to bypass encryption on personal devices and messaging platforms in the name of national security? Explain and identify the ethical implications of granting or denying such access.

HYPOTHETHICAL FACTS FOR THIS DISCUSSION – DO NOT ADD OR ASSUME UNSTATED FACTS. COMMON LAW APPLIES.

NOTE: THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR WAS SITTING IN HIS YARD THE WHOLE TIME AND TOOK A VIDEO OF THE WHOLE THING, SO THE FACTS OF THIS HYPOTHETICAL CAN BE PROVED IN COURT BY AN IMPARTIAL WITNESS. DO NOT BE SIDETRACKED BY “EVIDENCE” WONDERMENTS.

Emerson Smith has a classic muscle car that he fixed up and has enjoyed drag racing. He has kept it well maintained. Much as he loves the car, Emerson needs quick cash. He parks the car on his front yard, with a large sign on the windshield that says, “Cherry of a classic car, For Sale – asking $4,900. AS-IS.” He leaves to run some errands.

While Emerson is out, Val Bailey drives by and sees the car. She is immediately enamored and stops to look at it. She is sure the car is worth more than the suggested asking price. When she knocks on the front door, there is no response; she looks around, and decides nobody is home, so she takes her business card and on the back writes, ” I will pay you $5,500 cash for your classic car.” She signs her name, and dates it, including the time, and slips the card onto the windshield of the car secured under the wiper blade.

About a half hour later, Emerson returns, waves to his neighbor; heads into his house. He does not see Val’s card because he does not walk around and look at the car. A few minutes later Emerson’sbuddy, Roger Dix, pulls in to look at the car. Emerson sees him and comes out.

Roger has always liked the car and has gone racing with Emerson. Roger offers Emerson $5,000 even for the car, and Emerson accepts. The two men shake hands on the deal. Emerson tells Roger, “Hey, it’ll be like keeping her in the family.” Emerson goes into the house to get the car title while Roger writes out a check to Emerson for $5,000.

Emerson comes out with the title in his hand. As Roger starts to hand him the check, Val pulls in the yard. She has an envelope of $5,500 cash for the car. Emerson says to Val, “sorry, but I have just sold the car to Roger. here.”

Val objects and says she had already offered $5,500.

When Emerson says, “No, you didn’t,” she marches him to the car and shows him her card.

“There is my offer, I already left you before — see the time on it? You weren’t home and now I have the money right here,” she said.

Emerson turns to Roger, “Sorry, she did leave this offer, so I’m going to sell it to her for more money.”

Roger objects, stating, “You just told her you already sold it to ME. And you did! We shook hands on it. You cannot back out now just because some card was floating around nobody knew about. She wasn’t even here! She’s a loser, too late!”

While the three of them stand in the yard arguing, Joe Don Tootsworthy drives in. He climbs out of his Porsche, looks at the muscle car, and moseys over to the three arguing people. He asks, “Hey there, who owns that hot rod for sale?”

“I do,” says Emerson.

“No, I do,” says Roger.

“It’s MY Car,” snaps Val.

“I’ll pay whichever of you, $8,000 for that car,” says Joe, “but only if the engine starts.”

Emerson answers, “Of course it starts. I accept your offer.”

Roger hollers, “NO! That car is no longer for sale! I bought it! It’s mine! I’m not selling it!” (Waving the check in Emerson’s face.)

Val stomps over to the muscle car, grabs the sign off it, and sits on the hood. “It’s my car. I was here before all of you and I have real money in hand.” she yells, waving her envelope of cash over her head.

Emerson says to Joe Don, “Pay no attention to them. I have the title — right here. My car. Let’s start the car.”

Questions for Discussion

YOU BE THE JUDGE. DECIDE WHO GETS THE CAR.

Consider the above facts; answer and discuss the following

In your Initial Post (due Wed. 11:59 pm):

• Identify the contract issues you see here.
• Applying the common law elements of contract (see Week 6 Lesson), who gets the car, if anyone, and for how much? Explain your reasoning using the definitions and principles of contract provided in your Learning Materials and any other research you do. Apply the six (6) elements of common law contract in your response, as applied to the facts.
• In terms of making an offer, what is the legal significance of Joe Don Tootsworthy’s statement, “only if the engine starts?”

Elements of Contract

A binding and enforceable contract requires all of the following elements (Cornell Law School, 2022):

Open All PanelsOffer

An offer must be definite and must be communicated. Its intent must also be objective, which means that a reasonable person could determine the person making the offer intended the offer he or she made. Not all offers result in a binding contract. For example, a company owner wants the companys office building renovated and contacts a construction company to make the needed changes. The construction company writes a contract for the work and submits it to the company owner. If any of the following happen, there will not be a binding contract:

• Too much time passes before it is signed (lapse of time).
• One of the parties dies.
• The building is destroyed by fire or a storm (destruction of subject matter).
• The company owner rejects the pricing (rejection by offeree).
• The construction company withdraws (revokes) the offer.

Acceptance

The principles of traditional contract law (case law) require that the acceptance be the mirror image of the offer, which means the acceptance must be in the exactly the offer presented. If the acceptance changes anything about the offer, then it does not mirror the offer and is considered either a rejection of the offer or a counteroffer.

Mutuality

Also referred to as a “meeting of the minds,” or “mutual assent,” mutuality means the parties agree to the specifics outlined in its terms at the time they enter the contract. Demonstration of mutuality of obligation to the terms of the contract happens when one party makes an offer and the other party clearly accepts that offer and they agree to the terms.

Consideration

Consideration is value promised in the exchange, i.e., payment of some sort or services. Each party will gain something. Consideration is not concerned with the actual benefit that results, only that there is a benefit conveyed and that the parties consider it adequate.

Legal Competency (Capacity)

Legal competency means that the parties are competent to enter into a contract. If a party has been found by a court to need a guardian, that party (the ward) is not legally competent to enter into a contract. If a party is not of legal agea minorthe party is not competent to enter into a contract. A person who is under the influence of a drug or otherwise incapacitated so as not to understand what is happening is not competent to enter into a contract at that time.

Legal Object (Legality)

An enforceable contract must involve a legal object or purpose according to either state or federal law. For example, bribery and blackmail are not legal transactions. Prohibited drug sales are invalid contracts.
