Objectives:

to show a basic understanding of one of the theories of fair distribution covered in class
get students to use the skills/terms acquired in this class to analyze "real life" contemporary business ethics situations as they relate to theories of state

For a maximum of 20 points, students will post a discussion entry on one of the theories on justice/fair distribution: Plato's Republic, Marxism/Communism, Adam Smith/Carnegie, or Rawls

1.) Leave a two paragraph summary of ONE of the theories. If referencing course notes, be sure to give credit and if need be, use quotes.

2.) Post 2 one-paragraph long quotes from the relevant readings(not from course notes) and analyze each quote applying the following methods of analysis:

Apply method listed below (and be sure to state what method you will apply) for the analysis of the quotes/passages selected:

speculative: "I speculate the author meant..." and why.
interpretive: "Based on my reading and from what I understand, this is what she actually meant..." and explain.
evaluative: "I think he was wrong because..." or, "I think he was right because...." or "What he said was good because..." and explain.
emotive: "I felt _______ from the passage quote because..." and explain.
self-reflective: "This is my experience and how this question relates to my life..." and explain.
logical: "The logic of the author involves _________ ......" and explain.
critical: "In analysis of the passage, the author exhibits the following reasoning flaws: ...." and explain.

For the quoted passages, no need to supply a Works Cited page; simply provide the web link/source of the article. Also, use relatively short quotes of no more than three sentences in length.

3.) Also, in the final part of the entry, identify an important question that is raised in the theory for classmates to consider. For example, in Marx's theory, the question was raised as to the distinction between the bourgeoise and the proletariat; in particular that one is oppressing the other. Marx theory suggests that this distinction should be more manageable if not eliminated completely. Ask your classmates a question and be sure to offer an attempt to answer the question that is posed in at least one full paragraph.

example questions:

Are class distinctions unjust?
What is the source of the various social classes? Are they natural or a result of social forces?
Is it possible to create a "fair" or "just" society?
What is a desirable state/form of equality? Equality of outcome? Or equality of opportunity?
Are humans in a "state of nature" more like the brutes that Hobbes describes or the "noble savages" that Rousseau describes?
Who is justified in ruling, the person who was elected to rule? Or the person "fit" to rule? And what is the difference?
Does power corrupt as Thrasymachus asserts in The Republic?
Is people acting on "self-interest" sufficient for bringing about the greatest communal state of affairs'?
What is the proper form of "charity"? Does charity create dependency or does it liberate people from poverty?

For the other 5 points, leave a full one-paragraph (length is checked) comment on two classmate's entries. Say what you liked about their entry, and attempt to answer the question they posed. Also, if fitting, feel free to leave some constructive criticism. For example, if the entry seems off-topic, or if the entry is missing required elements, or contains misspellings, is too short, etc.

Format:

post up your entry in the appropriate Discussion on Canvas; cut and paste it into the body of the discussion rather than attaching it as a document
length: 500 -750 words (length is checked, and points will be deducted for failure to comply)
11-point Calibri font
