Tehra Dactyl is an accountant for Skeds, Inc., a footwear and apparel company. The company’s revenue and net income have increased by more than 100% over the past three years. During the same period, Tehra and her colleagues in the Accounting Department have not received a raise or salary increase. Frustrated by not receiving a raise while the company has thrived, Tehra has begun submitting expense reimbursements for personal purchases. Tehra has a good relationship with her supervisor, and he simply “signs off” on Tehra’s expense reimbursements. Tehra suspects that he knows that she is submitting personal expenses for reimbursement and is “looking the other way” because Tehra has not received a raise in the past three years.Are Tehra and her supervisor acting in an ethical manner? Why?Write at least 2 paragraphs (minimum of 200 words total)

In 500 words or more (no less), explain how the doctrine of the mean works for Aristotle’s twelve virtues (not including the intellectual virtues). 2.)Biblio 5 Annotated Bibliography An annotated bibliography is a list of scholarly works that one might use to prepare to write an essay or book. This is not a reference list or works cited attachment that you might include in an essay. Instead, this is a preparatory research document. Its express purpose is to find suitably rigorous, topical, usable articles and books to prepare for the writing of a book or essay. The format is similar to an essay’s reference list, but it differs in several significant ways. ***For this assignment, you must only cite scholarly philosophical works*** The American Psychological Association (APA) created a formal guide for exactly how to format your bibliography so that it is useful to a reader who wants to follow your line of reasoning. This is extremely important in academic work because it shows that you performed your due diligence and proper research before setting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard as the case may be). Annotations to a bibliography are short summaries of the content of the work. For this assignment, you are specifically showing me that you actually read the article, book chapter, or whatever else by doing these summaries. Each annotation needs to be long enough to convey confidence that you know what’s going on; about 100 words or so should do it. Your bibliography must include 5 citations and their associated annotations. Each combined citation/annotation entry is worth 20 points. These points are based on your proper formatting of the citation, inclusion of all necessary elements, proper selection of a scholarly work, and reasonable and understandable annotation write-up. There are strictly four parts to every bibliographic entry, though each of these can be broken down further. Still, if you remember these four elements, you won’t have much trouble and you will always be pretty close. Author (formatted as last name, first initial, middle initial). Date (formatted as the year of publication set in parenthesis). Title (for title formatting rule, visit this site). Retrieval Information (usually the publishing house or website) If you include all four of these elements, then your citation will almost certainly be close enough the your reader can follow along. For the purpose of this class though, you need to adhere strictly to the APA format guidelines. Follow the link to the Purdue OWL for more information. A few hints for getting started: Start with Wikipedia: you aren’t allowed to use this as one of your bibliographic references, but it is written from a perspective that is sometimes easier to understand. It can also introduce you to philosophical terms that might not make much sense without some explanation. Next, visit the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy: you can and should use this as your first bibliographic reference nearly every week. The IEP is more precise and technical than Wikipedia, but still fairly easy to read if you have some background information. Nearly every week will include a reading from the IEP, so this is basically a free entry. Next, visit the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: again, this should be on nearly every bibliography. The SEP is written specifically for philosophers, so it assumes that you are already versed in the technical language of the discipline and know what you are looking for. By this point in your research, you should be able to navigate this fairly easily. Finally, visit Google Scholar, The Philosopher’s Index, PhilPapers, Microsoft Academic, BASE, or Mendeley to search for scholarly articles and books on the subject we are working on. Some of these are available through the Library Resources page, but some may require paid access. If you happen to have access, that’s great, but if not, Google Scholar can fill your needs. Just be careful to only select philosophical texts. You may use Wikipedia as a starting point, but be aware that Wikipedia is not a scholarly source and therefore can never be counted as one of your bibliographic citations.

What is the purpose of this paper? You are going to compare and contrast two philosophical works on similar subjects and decide which of the two is more convincing and why. Your choice of works are: Excerpt from Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas and “Morality as a System of Hypothetical Imperatives” by Phillipa Foot, both in Doing Ethics Excerpt from Nichomachean Ethics by Aristotle and “The Need for More than Justice” by Annette C. Baire, both in Doing Ethics Excerpt from Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill and “Feminist Ethics” by Alison M. Jaggar You must choose one and only one set. You may not mix and match the readings. This paper should be presented in MLA style and be between 1000 and 1250 words. Where do I begin? First, you need to create a thesis about what fundamental ideas the two texts share. For example, if I were to compare and contrast Hume’s “Ethical Judgements and Matters of Fact” and Rorty’s “Moral Relativism”, my thesis might focus on how both texts address the limits of reason as an underlying standard by which to judge what is and is not moral. Here would be my working thesis for the paper: Although Hume’s 1739 A Treatise on Human Nature and Rorty’s 1999 Philosophy of Social Hope are separated by several hundred years in publication, they are unified in their pragmatic rejection of reason as a basis for moral judgment. Your thesis will be different from mine but it will share these traits: It will mention both texts within the thesis It will give at least on contrast (“separated by several hundred years in publication”) and one comparison (“unified in their pragmatic rejection of reason as a basis for moral judgment”). It will be clear on whether you find the contrast or the comparison more pronounced. Here my sentence structure puts the contrast in a dependent clause beginning with “although” and the comparison in the independent clause. This structure gives the comparison more weight than the contrast. Second, you need to give a critical précis of each text. This will give your reader a good idea of the important ideas in each piece. Since the critical précis are only part of this paper instead of being the whole, as in the last paper, these need to be even more succinct than the ones in your last paper. Although these can be longer than a paragraph, you can see in this example from Bakersfield College how a critical précis can be compressed into a single paragraph with planning and a clear idea of the arguments in the original text. Third, you will choose two quotes, one from each text, as examples of the author’s thought to compare and contrast in detail in a well-constructed paragraph. For my two example pieces, I might write: Hume ends this portion of the text with a paragraph on how writers who want to establish moral codes at a key point in their arguments switch from saying “is, and is not” in favor of “ought, or ought not” (15). He considers this to be the moment that philosophers turn from the relationship of real objects to their own “perceptions in the mind” (15). Consequently, Hume finds “that the distinction of vice and virtue is not founded merely on the relations of objects, nor is perceived by reason” (15). Similarly, Rorty despairs of reason as a way of deciding which of the complex and intertwined set of social mores, what Waltzer refers to as “thick moralities” (65), could ever become universal: The ideas of a universally shared source of truth called “reason” or “human nature” is, for us pragmatists, just the idea that such discussion ought to be capable of being made conclusive…It is misleading because it suggests that the aspiration to such a community is somehow built into every member of the biological species (65). Both of these authors try to find a way to use a universal standard, referred to as reason, to find a basis for morality but eventually find there is no objective external standard but instead only subjective standards held by individuals which are not based on objective reason. Finally, you need to conclude with a paragraph that chooses one of the texts over the other as being better reasoned. This is the case whether you found the texts more alike or more different. For my example, I find Rorty’s explanation more nuanced because he takes into account the depth of connection to moral values that individuals have while still acknowledging that there is no universal set of moral values to which all humans subscribe for the same underlying reasons. Hume is clear that incest is abhorrent to most of the people in his society and explains well how this aversion is more subjective than objective but this excerpt does not examine in any detail the meaning of this idea for how people within a society may interact with one another or with those from other cultures. What should I avoid? Try to avoid focusing on your own opinions until the final paragraph of the paper. The bulk of this paper should be about what the readings say and how they comment on common ideas. All but the last paragraph of this paper should be in third person (he, she, they) only. The last paragraph may use some first (I, me, us, we, our) person but there should be no second (you, your) person anywhere in this paper. Be sure that you cover both the comparison – how these texts are alike – and the contrasts – how these texts are different – in a meaningful way. Both should be in your thesis and both in your conclusion. What is the grading criteria for this assignment? An “A” paper will be: in correct MLA format throughout, including a Works Cited page that has an entry for the piece from your text. (See the form for “Work in an Anthology, Reference, or Collection” at the Purdue OWL.) of appropriate length, not significantly longer than 1250 words or shorter than 1000 words. well-constructed with a clear introduction, two précis, an analysis paragraph, and a conclusion thorough in its coverage of the argument, not missing or misinterpreting any major points. relatively free of mechanical errors. A “C” paper will be: in a format other than MLA or no discernable format but with some attempt at organization and with a bibliographic reference page. of reasonable length, not significantly longer than 1250 words or shorter than 1000 words. an attempt at well-constructed with a clear introduction, two précis, an analysis paragraph, and a conclusion but may be missing one section or have one or two sections that are poorly developed spotty in its coverage of the argument; missing, misinterpreting, or misrepresenting some major points. readable, although there may be consistent and persistent mechanical errors the author makes sense. A “F” paper will be: in no discernable format without an attempt at organization or a bibliographic reference page. of random length, significantly longer than 1250 words or shorter than 1000 words. lacking a clear demarcation among sections or lacking two or more sections. missing, misinterpreting, or misrepresenting the main argument and major points. difficult to read due to consistent and persistent mechanical errors.

Mattison pp. 134-140 and 290-310 on the virtue of charity and justice on the norms of love and justice. This week deals with theological issues at the foundation of Christian ethics. In your five-page essay describe the content of your readings in a detailed essay, then answer the following questions. Note: There are two parts. First, a detailed discussion of all the readings above. Then, answer the questions. What is the importance of friendship for ethics? What is the virtue of charity? What does it mean that charity is the “form” of the virtues? Why is it important that charity is an act of the will? What are the major definitions of love? How does love function as a norm for Christian ethics? Reflect on the section on Justice (134-140) based upon this reading and your knowledge of Scripture in the question: “What is the biblical idea of justice?” How do we see justice in the life of Jesus? What forms of injustice did Jesus confront? (These questions are thought questions. Reflect on the questions and draw up your knowledge of Jesus in the gospels). This week we read about the important norms of love and justice for ethics. Which one has priority for you – love or justice? Which one has a greater influence on your personal and social ethics? Can they both equally shape our ethics? Do love and justice ever come into conflict with one another?
