Moral Dilemma – Before Paper. Near the beginning of the course, you will write a minimum of 750 words about your response to a specific moral dilemma in order to assess your own moral thinking as you begin the class.
The “Before Paper” should
• State the moral issue

• Discuss how and/or why it is a dilemma
• Describe your views on the matter
• Examine others’ views you wish to include
• Describe why you hold the views you do.
• Include a Works Cited page with at least four scholarly works used to prepare your
Before Paper.

(This paper is supposed to be about your own moral views. The purpose is for you to write about what you think, any actions you have taken or believe other should take, and why.)

Discuss how at least one ethical theory (virtue, utilitarianism, etc.) would respond to this prompt.

/in /by

Psychologists have long-since claimed that children are especially vulnerable to influence, whether favorable or unfavorable experiences, during their early formative years. Certain storylines in films require the use of child actors to portray criminal and even savage characters or be on the receiving end of violence.

Consider the morality (not legality) of using child actors for such violent roles. Do you believe that using children in such roles is morally acceptable? Would your answer be different if the violence depicted was based on a true story of events or strictly fictional? Be sure to discuss how at least one ethical theory (virtue, utilitarianism, etc.) would respond to this prompt.

Provide one paragraph that compares and contrasts an ethical argument and an argument with a friend over where to eat lunch. How are they different? Are there similarities?

/in /by

In your text, the authors discuss the central goal of an argument in ethics. They also explain how an argument in ethics is different from an argument you might have with your best friend. Your task is to:

1.Provide one paragraph that compares and contrasts an ethical argument and an argument with a friend over where to eat lunch. How are they different? Are there similarities?

2. Get creative. Write a brief ethical argument between two people on an ethical issue (of your choice). Provide at least two facts for each discussant. (The argument should contain at two people and should contain at least two points for each side of the argument. Your argument should be deductive in nature. By example, if two people are arguing about cheating on a test, each person should offer two facts supporting their position, going from general to specific.)

3. Use two different fallacies in your discussion. You may have each discussant use one fallacy each, or one discussant use two fallacies. Either way, use two fallacies.

Identify a current public issue that is significant or interesting to you, and on which there is some disagreement about

/in /by

This assignment asks you to enter into the debate between Plato and the Sophists, and think about how it is relevant to some contemporary public issue. The differences between the Sophistic principles of rhetoric and Plato’s criticisms of rhetoric as seen in the Gorgias dialogue are most apparent when it comes to rhetoric’s relationship to knowledge, belief, truth, and power. How can understanding these differences help us to become more insightful consumers of public discourse?

FIRST PARAGRAPH:

Identify a current public issue that is significant or interesting to you, and on which there is some disagreement about “what we know to be true” about that issue. Ideally you would refer to a couple of published sources that illustrate this disagreement. (Provide citations at the bottom of the essay, MLA or APA style.)

SECOND and THIRD PARAGRAPHS:

Explain how we should make sense of this disagreement in light of the debate between Plato and the Sophists. In these paragraphs, you should clearly identify one or two of Plato’s criticisms of the Sophists in the Gorgias dialogue, and one or two of the Sophists’ principles, that are useful for thinking about the current disagreement. This should be mostly in your own words, but feel free to quote from these authors to illustrate the criticisms. For clarity I’d suggest focusing on Plato in one paragraph and the Sophists in another.

FOURTH PARAGRAPH

Summarize your argument. Whose approach—the Sophists’, or Plato’s—provides a better way of approaching this disagreement? In general, how should we apply their ideas when trying to make sense of public discourse and disagreements on public issues?

EVALUATION:

Pass: essay states one principle each from both Plato and the Sophists and shows how they are relevant to the current public issue.

Merit: essay states principles from both Plato and the Sophists and explains them clearly and uses them to provide insight on the current public issue.

Distinction: essay explains principles from both Plato and the Sophists in depth and and shows how those principles are in tension or conflict and discusses how the principles provide insight on the specific issue and on public issues in general.

Summarize (Links to an external site.) the key elements of the argument presented by ASA.

Read the documentPreview the document submitted by the American Sociological Association (ASA) to the United States Supreme Court regarding a Michigan Law School case. The goal is for you to engage the empirical data and summary arguments while drawing your own conclusions about the college admission process.

After reading the ASA’s position on this case, address the following:

Thoroughly summarize (Links to an external site.) the key elements of the argument presented by ASA. This summary should include:
A general overview of ASA’s position.
A discussion of the fundamental justifications behind ASA’s position including residential segregation, school segregation, economic disadvantages, stigma, and the relevance of race-based life experiences to university admissions.
Please be mindful to summarize the ASA’s position on these issues in your own words.

Argue your own position as to whether or not college admission officers should consider race (as one of many factors), when deciding whom to accept to colleges. Be sure to use scholarly evidence and empirical data to support your position. Which position you take has NO bearing on your grade. However, you will be graded on how well you support your argument with scholarly evidence and empirical data, as well as the amount of thought put into your argument. Your argument must:
Be well-reasoned and based on scholarly evidence and empirical data – Not on personal ideologies and/or uninformed opinions.
Explain why you have chosen the position that you have (using facts and empirical data).
Depending on the position you take, propose either an alternative solution to addressing racial inequalities in college admissions or propose a solution for implementing racial consideration in the admissions of an actual college setting.
If you argue that race should not be taken into account along with other life experiences in college admissions, then you must also propose ways in which current racial inequalities of educational attainment can best be overcome.
If you argue that race should be taken into account along with other life experiences in college admissions, then you must also propose ways in which this could best be implemented in an actual applied setting.

What is the adaptive unconscious? What role does it play in our decision-making?

Read “The Statue That Didn’t Look Right” and provide a medium-paragraph length answer to each question below (using full and complete sentences).
1. Numerous art experts who looked at the Getty’s kouros statue immediately thought it was not authentic. What are the specific impressions and feelings that they had which led them to this judgment? Why were these specific individuals able to reach such a reliable judgment in only a matter of seconds?
2. How was the University of Iowa card experiment set up? What were the results of the experiment? What does the fact that many test subjects started to react to the red cards after only 10 cards suggest to us? How is this example analogous to the Getty statue example? That is, what do both examples together tell us about conscious and unconscious decision-making?
3. What is the adaptive unconscious? What role does it play in our decision-making? What is the
difference between our unconscious mode of decision-making and our conscious mode of decisionmaking? When is the unconscious mode of decision-making more useful than the conscious model 2
4. Do you agree with the very last sentence of this reading passage? In your opinion, when is it appropriate or safe to rely upon our unconscious gut instincts, and when might it be more appropriate to rely upon conscious, deliberate reasoning?
