Question description
Rough Draft of Final Paper
In this course, we look at classical ethical theories of utilitarianism,
deontology, and virtue ethics. We also examine different perspectives
on ethical issues introduced by relativism, ethical egoism, and
emotivism. For this paper, you will apply these theories and
perspectives to a current issue, selected from the list of issues below.
Choose one of the ethical issues from the list to research and write
about. It is recommended that you choose a topic that you are familiar
with or that you have thought about previously, if possible. For
example, you might choose an issue that either worries you or enrages
you, you might choose one that you have worked on, or you might choose
one that relates to recent events in your community.

the issue that you select. You do not have to use all six, but you
should apply at least two ethical theories and at least one ethical
perspective in your paper. Make sure that you write primarily on ethical
topics and concepts; do not get distracted by doing analyses that apply
political, economic, religious, or legal perspectives. Describe,
compare, and apply the ethical theories and perspectives to the topics.
