Case Study: “Ethical Systems, Education, and Building a Better Health Care Provider”


Subject: In his famous reflection on ethics and the formation of good character Aristotle writes, “The virtues we acquire by having put them into action, and the same is true of the arts. For the things which we have to learn before we can do them we learn by doing: men [sic] become builders by building houses, and harpists by playing the harp.” With this philosophy in mind, medical education has been engaged in embedding ethics in the practice of health care via education in the “core competency” of professionalism. This has been viewed as a compromise between incorporating blatantly religious practice into health care and also providing a moral framework for health care providers in the context of practice in a global, industrialized, business-oriented world.


With this in mind, do you find that the approach of virtue ethics to be a helpful philosophical structure for thinking about the formation of good health care professionals? Why or why not? And, on a related note, of the many religious and philosophical frameworks we’ve examined in this class (“care”, professionalism, a calling, reverence for life, virtue ethics), which do you think is the most important for creating change? And finally: what do you think is the most important and useful for you?

Focus your answer on evidence from our readings and/or class lectures. Thus, your paper needs to include at least TWO of this unit’s readings. In order to answer this you may include your own research, which must also be legitimate sources—not sources that are speculation or opinion. With this in mind, I do not want an editorial: I want a substantiated examination of these concepts. The content of your paper will form the substance of our class discussion on Thursday, December 2nd.

Format:
Your paper must be submitted as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf. Please note that Blackboard does not accept .pages or other formats.
o Please do not type your response directly into Blackboard, as that makes it more difficult for me to download and grade.
o Papers that are not properly submitted will be considered not turned in.

Your response paper must be approximately +/- 500 words (no more than two double-spaced pages).

Your paper is due on Blackboard by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, December 1st—please plan accordingly

It’s sort of like a mini paper on the way something works. Choose a topic to which you can apply concepts from this unit of the course: gravity, energy, temperature, thermodynamics, etc. Some ideas of appropriate topics include amusement parks, satellites, the orbits of planets and moons, weathering of rocks, climate change, ocean ice, geothermal energy generation, anything related to the weather…..the list goes on and on. Feel free to choose a topic that you know something about, but also feel free to choose something that you don’t know much about but interests you!
