[SOLVED] Analyzing Ethical Issues
Select one of the contemporary issue cases studies (see attached file) and then do the following. You are not required to provide a title page or a bibliography, but you should footnote any references (it’s fine if you don’t have any references for this assignment, as it’s not a research paper). Note: you are to write this as if you were trying to explain this material to an educated layperson (i.e., someone such as a peer who is college educated, but doesn’t have any special understanding of philosophy or this particular issue), so you will want to be sure to define all your technical terms and fully explain any examples you discuss. 1. Provide an overview of the case (one paragraph). 2. Identify what you consider to be the central moral tension in the case (one sentence). 3. Write a question that directs you to answer the central moral tension (e.g., like a moderators question in an ethics bowl case) (one sentence). 4. Briefly detail the process by which moral issues are to be sorted out (one to two paragraphs) 5. Provide and analysis of the case you have chosen, using the process you described above (one to two pages). You will not be evaluated on your position in this case (these cases are thought to be well-balanced, such that a reasonable person could be on either side); rather, you will be evaluated on the depth and accuracy of your treatment of the issue. Primary emphasis will be on 4 and 5 above.
