Assignment:
Ethics in Action
Do not wait to start this! You will not be able to complete it if you wait until the night it is due. Watch this video for more details on the Ethics In Action forum. This is the same video in the materials folder.
The Ethics in Action forum will focus on ethical subjectivism, cultural relativism, and the divine command theory.
In the past couple weeks, we have covered several ethical theories. This week we are going to put "ethics in action." I believe that the best way to learn is by taking an active part in your learning, so you are going to do some research. In addition, ethics is not only a set of theories to be learned, but the foundation by which real people make real moral decisions about tough ethical and moral issues, so you will also look for examples of ethical and moral issues and apply what you learned to these issues.
Step 1 - Study the theory: The first task is to conduct research on ethical subjectivism, cultural relativism, or the divine command theory (PICK ONE THEORY) and contribute quality information to this forum about one of the ethical theories. Step 1 should be at least one paragraph and the link to your research content.
Give a good summary of the content you found in your research, why you think it is helpful for other students interested in this theory, and post the link so other students can review the source.
Examples of the type of content I am looking for: web articles, YouTube videos, journal articles. It is important to find credible sources. Here is a link to a video on finding credible sources.
Step 2 - Apply the theory: The second task is to find an example of an ethical issue from social media, politics, business, health and legal fields, work and/or school and analyze it from the perspective of the theory you picked in step 1. Step 2 should be one to two paragraphs and thoroughly cover issue from the perspective of the theory. The Perspective is a good website to find ethical issues that are current and trending.
Explain the ethical issue you picked and use the theory you picked to evaluate the issue using the principles, strengths, and weaknesses of the theory. You can also use an example from your life, but please do not mention names or give away the identity of the persons involved.
Post a link to the article if appropriate.
For example, if you picked ethical relativism, you would need to use the principles of that theory to analyze a moral issue such as cheating on a test in school or a nurse caught giving patients lethal doses of drugs so he could be the hero and revive them.
