Applying Ethics to a Dilemma in Your Life

Write a 3 page essay which discusses an ethical dilemma you have been faced with in your life OR an ethical dilemma you forsee you may encounter in your future career.

After briefly describing the dilemma, choose a philosopher/philosophy of ethics we have read about thus far this year (Chapters 1-5) and tell how this philosophy would apply to this ethical dilemma. As this is a midterm, I want to see what you have learned about the philosophies we have been studying. So you will no doubt need to explain the philosopher’s ideas to me then tell how they apply to your ethical dilemma.
