Ethical Relativism Discussion
This week we are discussing ethical relativism. What are the pros and cons of the belief that ethics ought to be relative, i.e. normative ethical/cultural relativism?

. Use at least 10 sentences for each answer, but do not use more than 20 sentences for an answer.
1. Explain how Plato argues that social justice is better than, and more important than, retributive
justice. Why can’t retributive justice, by itself, maintain peace and order in a society?2. Describe how Socrates argues that people who want justice to control their lives would not want to
live in a democracy.
3. Explain why, according to The Republic, a democratic country will sooner or later be controlled by a
demagogue who wants to run the country like a tyranny.
4. Explain how Plato’s Allegory of the Cave suggests that only philosophy can rescue a person from being
controlled by one’s own culture and its customs.
5. Define what ‘dualism’ is. Then explain how Descartes proves that he knows for certain that he is a
thinking mind, with more certainty than he knows he has a body.
6. Describe how Descartes’s philosophy tries to show why religion should be able to accept the
knowledge that science learns about the natural world.
7. Explain whether this maxim is morally right according to Kant’s categorical imperative: “I should let
my friend help me cheat on this exam, so I can get a good grade in this class.”
8. Pick one human right. For that right, explain how Kant’s Categorical Imperative can show that this
human right is morally correct. Be sure to include an explanation why violating that right must be
morally wrong.
9. Describe why Utilitarianism’s formula, “What is morally right is what makes a society the happiest”
could be used for ranking societies from “most moral” to “least moral.” Then raise one objection to this
effort to rank societies this way, heard from anti-colonialism.
10. Describe how Appiah hopes to protect small cultures from assimilation into empires by promoting
multiculturalism and his “cosmopolitanism.”

eligibility worker for a subsidy assistance program
Consider the following scenario: You work as an eligibility worker for a subsidy assistance program helping clients who need assistance paying utility bills. Over the years you have noticed a lull in the work atmosphere where workers are becoming less engaging with the clients and seem to lack compassion for the clients and motivation for their work. You become aware of new service model that is being used in the eligibility services population and is showing promising results. The model is supported by evidenced-based practice. This new model offers a stronger connection with the client, with the client's feeling a higher degree of validation and satisfaction with the services provided. Workers also report a decrease in workplace stress. Given this information what will you say to your supervisor about this new model? How might you convince the supervisor to either allow you to attend a conference where this new approach is taught or arrange to have the conference brought to the agency? Be specific.

Capella University Hannah and Adara Muslim American Case Study Discussion
Case Study: Hannah and Adara Hannah, a 36-year old African American woman, moved to Riverbend City ten years ago. She loves her work as a school counselor and, although she does not have children of her own, she says that "children are my life." The principal and teachers at Cargill Academy appreciate her hard work with the students. She often puts in long hours. Hannah is working with Adara, a 15-year old Muslim-American. Her parents immigrated to Detroit, Michigan from Iraq in 1999. She and her siblings were born and grew up in Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit. They moved to Riverbend City when Adara was 11 years old. Adara is feeling depressed but isn't sure why. Lately she has been wishing she wasn't alive. She decided to talk to Hannah. She talks about feeling "different" from others in school. She has friends at school, with whom she spends some time outside of school; however, she is acutely aware that she is the only Muslim-American among all the people she knows. She is the only person to wear a headscarf that her parents require her to wear, following their cultural and religious traditions. She often feels other kids staring at her, and sometimes they make rude comments. She has been bullied on social media, with other kids accusing her of being a "terrorist." She has enjoyed her conversations with Hannah and feels better after she leaves her office. Hannah has encouraged her to talk with her parents about seeing a therapist. Adara has resisted, and says her parents will not support her seeing a therapist. During their last visit, Adara told Hannah that she wishes she was dead. Hannah called her parents to let them know. Now Adara is angry with Hannah and feels her trust has been violated. She says, "My counselor told my mother about everything. Now I feel like I can't trust her. Doesn't she have to keep what I say to herself?" Consider the individual, family, societal, cultural, and ethical issues that Hannah must think about as she interacts with Adara and her parents. Instructions: For this discussion, identify the case study you selected from the Case Studies media. Describe what interested you in the case study Select a scholarly research study that is relevant to the case you chose from the Case Studies media and that you will be working with throughout the course project. You may use a study that you would like to use as part of the Week 3 assignment. Write a thorough summary of the study that would give someone who has not read the article a good understanding of the research and findings. Include:The purpose of the study.The design and methods used by the researchers.The results of the research.Complete a preliminary analysis of how the research relates to the case study you selected.

Ethical Relativism Discussion
This week we are discussing ethical relativism. What are the pros and cons of the belief that ethics ought to be relative, i.e. normative ethical/cultural relativism?

. Use at least 10 sentences for each answer, but do not use more than 20 sentences for an answer.
1. Explain how Plato argues that social justice is better than, and more important than, retributive
justice. Why can’t retributive justice, by itself, maintain peace and order in a society?2. Describe how Socrates argues that people who want justice to control their lives would not want to
live in a democracy.
3. Explain why, according to The Republic, a democratic country will sooner or later be controlled by a
demagogue who wants to run the country like a tyranny.
4. Explain how Plato’s Allegory of the Cave suggests that only philosophy can rescue a person from being
controlled by one’s own culture and its customs.
5. Define what ‘dualism’ is. Then explain how Descartes proves that he knows for certain that he is a
thinking mind, with more certainty than he knows he has a body.
6. Describe how Descartes’s philosophy tries to show why religion should be able to accept the
knowledge that science learns about the natural world.
7. Explain whether this maxim is morally right according to Kant’s categorical imperative: “I should let
my friend help me cheat on this exam, so I can get a good grade in this class.”
8. Pick one human right. For that right, explain how Kant’s Categorical Imperative can show that this
human right is morally correct. Be sure to include an explanation why violating that right must be
morally wrong.
9. Describe why Utilitarianism’s formula, “What is morally right is what makes a society the happiest”

effort to rank societies this way, heard from anti-colonialism.
10. Describe how Appiah hopes to protect small cultures from assimilation into empires by promoting
multiculturalism and his “cosmopolitanism.”

eligibility worker for a subsidy assistance program
Consider the following scenario: You work as an eligibility worker for a subsidy assistance program helping clients who need assistance paying utility bills. Over the years you have noticed a lull in the work atmosphere where workers are becoming less engaging with the clients and seem to lack compassion for the clients and motivation for their work. You become aware of new service model that is being used in the eligibility services population and is showing promising results. The model is supported by evidenced-based practice. This new model offers a stronger connection with the client, with the client's feeling a higher degree of validation and satisfaction with the services provided. Workers also report a decrease in workplace stress. Given this information what will you say to your supervisor about this new model? How might you convince the supervisor to either allow you to attend a conference where this new approach is taught or arrange to have the conference brought to the agency? Be specific.

Capella University Hannah and Adara Muslim American Case Study Discussion
Case Study: Hannah and Adara Hannah, a 36-year old African American woman, moved to Riverbend City ten years ago. She loves her work as a school counselor and, although she does not have children of her own, she says that "children are my life." The principal and teachers at Cargill Academy appreciate her hard work with the students. She often puts in long hours. Hannah is working with Adara, a 15-year old Muslim-American. Her parents immigrated to Detroit, Michigan from Iraq in 1999. She and her siblings were born and grew up in Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit. They moved to Riverbend City when Adara was 11 years old. Adara is feeling depressed but isn't sure why. Lately she has been wishing she wasn't alive. She decided to talk to Hannah. She talks about feeling "different" from others in school. She has friends at school, with whom she spends some time outside of school; however, she is acutely aware that she is the only Muslim-American among all the people she knows. She is the only person to wear a headscarf that her parents require her to wear, following their cultural and religious traditions. She often feels other kids staring at her, and sometimes they make rude comments. She has been bullied on social media, with other kids accusing her of being a "terrorist." She has enjoyed her conversations with Hannah and feels better after she leaves her office. Hannah has encouraged her to talk with her parents about seeing a therapist. Adara has resisted, and says her parents will not support her seeing a therapist. During their last visit, Adara told Hannah that she wishes she was dead. Hannah called her parents to let them know. Now Adara is angry with Hannah and feels her trust has been violated. She says, "My counselor told my mother about everything. Now I feel like I can't trust her. Doesn't she have to keep what I say to herself?" Consider the individual, family, societal, cultural, and ethical issues that Hannah must think about as she interacts with Adara and her parents.
