For this GRADED discussion, you will work with your peers. In your initial post, think about a time in your life where you tried to persuade someone to do something. Keep in mind that this doesn't have to be a situation that was a full-blown argument—it can be something as simple as convincing a friend to go to a specific restaurant for lunch—and it doesn't have to be a situation where you "won" the other person over either.When you've come up with the moment, write two fully developed paragraphs explaining it to your classmates. In the first paragraph, describe the moment of persuasion so that your instructor and peers can "see" it. In the second paragraph, explain why you felt like that moment of persuasion was either successful or unsuccessful. What strategies or techniques did you use to try to get the person to side with you?

Please address all the following questions. 1. This week we are examining, “CARING: A FEMININE APPROACH TO ETHICS” as articulated by Nel Noddings in chapter 21 of our textbook (and Robert Kane, below). After reading the text, find a current ethical issue (either in your own life or on the world stage that is going on right now) and evaluate Nel Nodding's "Ethic of Care" as applied to this ethical issue. How would she respond? What is the difference between how men are apt to respond and how she says women are wired to respond and approach the issue? What are the pros and cons of this difference? Is it fair to make this distinction? Is it helpful? Make sure you quote from our reading in giving your evaluation.2. Robert Kane Essay “Through The Moral Maze”Robert Kane (make sure you cite the text when answering the following questions):What does Kane describe as the two "consequences" of the Tower of Babel regarding conflicting views on morality? What two concepts does Kane describe as the underlying problems associated with the consequences? Can you relate to these ideas in your own life? How?How does Kane use the story of C.S. Lewis’ “Perelandra” to depict the dilemma of “Loss of Moral Innocence?” Have you ever experienced this problem/dilemma in your own life? Can you give some examples?What does Kane propose, in the end, as a way forward through the “moral maze” of our modern context? Explain his concept of “openness.”Give an example from our contemporary context where this paradigm might apply; and explain why you think Kane’s views would be helpful.
