- Find some piece of news that seems like it has elements to which our course material is relevant, e.g., a story about businesses laying-off workers during the quarantine. (Our course talks about morality, theories like Doctrine of duble effect, nihilism and egoism etc…. )
- Provide a moral analysis of the news piece. A good analysis will likely run around 500 words.
- The analysis will provide:
- A BRIEF synopsis of the relevant parts of the news piece.
- Explanation of WHY our course material is relevant to the news piece. This is the most significant part of the analysis.
- A BRIEF conclusion concerning what should be done or whether what was done was morally permissible.
A good analysis will apply course content in an INTERESTING way, e.g., finding a way in which the first formulation of the categorical imperative is applicable is much more interesting than finding a way that moral obligations are relevant (since they almost always are).
I’ve attached an example analysis below. In the document, the article appears first followed by the analysis.
when you find the article and what moral concepts to integrate with it please let me know so i make sure we are covering these in the course
