*Relevant ethical considerations - These ethical considerations should be clearly present in the case study and will be the basis for the discussion in part C of the question. Examples of ethical considerations include harm and consent, among others. Ethical considerations should inform the reader of your essay about the moral issues within the topic you have chosen for discussion.

Make a claim and explain what doing good means (use "should/ought" and underline the claim). State clearly what should be the morally right action in the topic and case study you have selected. The claim should be a normative statement.
(c) Demonstrate ethical reasoning by providing reasons to support the claim in (b). Give 2 reasons (number your reasons) and apply an ethical theory you have learned to support each of your reasons (i.e., reason 1 supported by theory 1; reason 2, supported by theory. Once a theory/formulation is used to support one reason, it SHOULD NOT be used to support the other reason. There should be 2 reasons and 2 applications of ethical theories/ formulations within the essay.

(Kant's principle of universalizability, Kant's principle of humanity, Benthamite Utilitarianism, and Millian Utilitarianism)
(d) *Identify possible constraints - State a limitation or constraint to EACH of the theories/ formulations you applied in part C (total 2 constraints/limitations). Explain and discuss the constraint within the context of the topic and case study. Make clear reference to the specifics/ details of selected topic and case study in the discussion.
