You will create an overview of each of four ethical theories in relation to a particular case, and assess the pros and cons of each theory in determining the ethics, and identify policy vacuum or any conceptual muddles. Details: Using the case that your house or group accessed in session 3.1, you will look at each of four ethical Frameworks, similarly to the way we did it in class on the ethical framework worksheet. You will look at deontology, utilitarianism, ethics of care, and Rawlsian justice. You will identify the factors at play: conceptual muddles, policy vacuums, or Faustian Bargains. Then for each framework you will look at the pros and cons of using that framework to determine the ethics of that case. You will do this as Tavani describes his method for assessing ethics. Describe which factors would be relevant to determining the ethical behavior in the case for each framework. For example if you are evaluating the case according to utilitarianism, what is the greatest good in this case? Or if you are looking at deontology, what is your duty? And how do you express that duty while keeping in mind the categorical imperative? What sort of care might be associated with the case? And who might be the group of people that is the least well off in the case? These are the types of factors you should consider as you write. The essay should be between 500 and 800 words. APA formatted in-text citations and reference list. The actual paper should just be an easy to read font such as Georgia, Gill Sans, Minion, etc. 12 point and either single or double spaced is fine. Please don't put your name in the main text of the document. You will turn this assignment in on canvas in the appropriate drop box. This is the checklist/rubric by which we will be assessing the assignment: Checklist/Rubric for Ethical Theories Assignment • Introduces the case, including the Faustian Bargain(s) in this case, .25 pts. • Briefly notes any conceptual muddles and policy vaccum .25 pts. • o • Total out of .5 pts.______ Utilitarianism is discussed relative to the case, including: o Which “greatest good” has been identified as most relevant, .25 pts. o Lists at least one positive and one negative about using utilitarianism to assess the ethics of the case, .25 pts. o Makes SURE to keep eudaimonia in mind when making this assessment, .25 pts o Determines that the case is ethical or not ethical using utilitarian framework, .25 pts. ▪ • Total out of 1 pt.______ Deontology is discussed relative to the case, including: o Which “duty” has been identified as most relevant, .25 pts. o Discusses the categorical imperative (both the part about universality and using people as a means to an end), .5 pts. o Lists at least one positive & one negative about using deontology to assess the ethics of the case, .25 pts. o Determines that the case is ethical or not ethical using deontology, .25 pts. ▪ • Total out of 1.25 pt.______ Ethics of care is discussed relative to the case, including: o Notes what sort of care has been identified as most relevant, and for whom, .25 pts. o Determines whether the person doing the action or creating the policy/system able to provide care for them, both in terms of giving of yourself and in terms of their ability? .25 pts. o States whether the people you think want to be cared for want the proposed care? Be sure to assess the person’s vulnerability and inequality by listening to THEM, as opposed to imagining yourself in a similar situation, .25 pts. o Lists at least one positive and one negative about using ethics of care to assess the ethics of the case, .25 pts. o Determines that the case is ethical or not ethical using ethics of care, .25 pts. ▪ • Total out of 1.25 pts.______ The Rawlsian justice framework is discussed relative to the case, including: o Shows which group or groups have been identified as most likely to be the “least well-off”, .25 pts. o Shows whether people have a fair chance of obtaining the advantage, if there is one, .25 pts. o Lists at least one positive & one negative about using the Rawlsian justice framework to assess the ethics of the case, .25 pts. o Determines that the case is ethical or not ethical using the Rawlsian justice framework, .25 pts. ▪ Total out of 1 pt.______ Length: Is the essay fewer than 500 words? Subtract 1 point for every 0-100 words fewer than 500 (400-499=Subtract 1; 300-399=subtract 2; 200-299=subtract 3; and so on). Subtract___________ Spelling, grammar, or syntax errors, subtract 0.25 pts for each over 4. (each person gets 4 “free” errors, then they “cost” 0.25 pts each) Subtract___________ Muddled writing? Take 0.5 pts off for any individual instance of writing too muddled or confusing to understand. Subtract___________ Total points earned out of 5: ____________
