Description
In a second essay use the Case Study: Female Genital Cutting on page 15 of the textbook. Use a different three normative theories to do an analysis of the issue. There should be a concise introduction and conclusion in addition to the body of the text. The essay can be a paragraph per theory. The analysis should be about 2 pages in length total depending on the theories.
*Content warning: the case study for Part 2 (female genital cutting) involves sensitive content (violence against women) that some may find disturbing. Any student who finds the topic potentially traumatizing can opt to choose a different case study from the book and follow the same instructions below for analyzing your chosen case.

The normative theories of ethics are:
- Virtue Ethics
- Utilitarianism
- Deontology (Kant)
- Rights Theory
- Ethics of Care
- Egoism
- Natural Ethics
In your conclusion, you may give your opinion which of the methods you believe is the best approach. Please do not make this a 2 page opinion piece but instead a 1.75 page analysis with a .25 page opinion at the end. You will be graded much more heavily on your analysis than your opinion. In addition, please do not use the little space you have to summarize the documentary for me. I've seen it. Use examples specifically and quotes when possible. Each of the normative theories has principles and specific vocabulary which you need to be using when doing an analysis.
