This week we are discussing the topic of ethics and morality when it comes to human sexuality. With that in mind, please choose one of these three topics: Prostitution, Sex Trafficking, or Pornography which many consider a moral issue.

Read the required reading: Ethical Decision Making and then apply the Ethical Problem Solving Model to your topic answering the 5 questions. Please see the model outlined below.

Ethical Problem Solving Model

Answer the five questions when trying to resolve a moral issue:

• What benefits and what harms will each course of action produce, and which alternative will lead to the best overall consequences?

• What moral rights do the affected parties have, and which course of action best respects those rights?

• Which course of action treats everyone the same, except where there is a morally justifiable reason not to, and does not show favoritism or discrimination?

• Which course of action advances the common good?

• Which course of action develops moral virtues?

Remember that all situations are unique and not one set of rules applies in all cases. (Velasquez, Andre, Shanks, & Meyer, 2015)
