Discussion post ethics

Be sure to review the Ethics content, and read the handy Moral Theories in a Nutshell document that has been added to the Ethics Module.

  1. Choose two moral theories from the course that resonate with you. Briefly explain both theories. Cite sources! (2 pts)
  2. Explain why you find the two theories compelling compared to the other options; make sure to explain at least one theory that you find problematic and share why its problematic. Cite sources! (2 pts)
  3. Choose any moral topic that you find important (war, affordable housing, healthcare, eradicating racism and sexism, etc.). Provide a brief argument in standard form utilizing one of the moral theories that you explain in question 1. (4 pts)

For example:

P1: Deontology is the most reasonable moral framework. (a longer argument would include a sub-argument to justify this statement).

P2: Problem P is unjust and needs to be resolved for the sake of promoting justice. (maybe the problem is the bombing of innocent civilians; maybe its the dismantling of Education in the USA, at every level, from k-12 through higher ed; maybe its poverty pay for adjuncts; maybe its the treatment of animals in factory farms; maybe its lack of affordable housing or lack of universal healthcare or something else that you care deeply about.state your chosen problem in a premise).

P3: If P1 and P2, then, according to the moral theory, action Z should be endorsed and pursued with public policy. [Name the proposed action(s)]

Conclusion: Action Z should be endorsed and pursued.
