PART A 

The purpose of this discussion assignment is to reflect upon your beliefs about what is good by discussing how you would resolve an ethical dilemma of your choosing. In 1-2 pages, address the following:

• Identify an ethical dilemma you or someone you know has faced.
• Identify and explain the ethical philosophy from the reading that you think either should have or did inform how you resolved the dilemma. You can choose utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, care ethics, Buddhist ethics, African ethics, or existential ethics.
• Identify and explain an ethical theory that would take a different approach.

PART B

Imagine you could go back in time and give your childhood self a letter in which you explain your current view of the good and ethical life. Write a 3-4 page letter to your childhood self explaining your view of the Good in which you:

• Identify at least one philosopher who might agree with your view of the Good. Explain that philosophical ethical theory and discuss how it compares to your own views.
• Discuss how another philosopher might disagree. For example, if you discuss deontology in support of your view, utilitarianism might be a good point of contrast. Virtue and care ethics are very similar, but it would be interesting to explore their differences as well.
• Support your account of the theories with citations to the textbook and online lectures in correct APA format.
