Choose a contemporary moral issue (you can draw from the ethics bowl cases we have
looked at, or any other topic about which there could be reasonable moral disagreement)
and argue for a position with regard to the issue by applying one or more of moral theories
we have examined during the course. Explain the basic elements of the theory which you
apply, identify the relevant material details of the case, explain their moral significance, and
the appropriate course of action or policy that should be taken in response. Identify and
explain what you take to be the most powerful counter-argument to this position. Respond
to the objection and explain either why you think the objection fails or how it can be
responded to. In total, you should reference and cite at least three of the moral theorists we
have examined during the course.
Your essay should be around four to five pages, double-spaced, in twelve-point font, with 1″
margins. In the paper, your aim should be to develop a position by constructing arguments
that could convince a reasonable interlocutor who isn’t knowledgeable of the subject
matter. That means your paper should both provide context for understanding the theory
you argue for, and explain the reasoning process by which you arrive at your conclusions.
