Your task is to write a paragraph (maximum length of one page double spaced) that analyzes one of the following environmental ethical issue. You choose which issue to write about; in this assignment, reflect deeply on a topic that matters to you. You must argue your position with ethical theory and also show how your position is stronger than the opposing position supported by another theory.Option A:Should animals be used in medical research? In your response, consider which kind of animals (if any) would be morally permissible to use in medical research and what consideration should be given regarding pain.Option B:Is a vegetarian diet more ethical than a non-vegetarian diet? In your answer, consider the issue of animal rights and the environmental impact of both meat and plant-based diets.Option C:Consider the use of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Is the use of GMOs in food production ethical? In your answer, consider both health and environmental concerns.You must apply at least one ethical theory to support your position and explain how a different theory compares when applied to this issue.You must also show how your position supported by ethical theory is stronger than another position supported by another theory.It is not enough to name a theory; you must explain the theory and demonstrate how your position reflects the logic and reasoning of that theory.Remember that theory is the “why” behind your beliefs.

This past Christmas Day, your friend Brian invited you to have dinner with his family, which you accepted. At the dinner table, Grandpa Alex (Brian’s grandfather) wondered aloud why Brian was still living in his parent’s basement (for a small rent) since he got a job two years ago after graduating with his bachelor’s degree. Grandpa Alex noted that in 1950 when he got his first job, after his Associate's degree (which was not so common back then), his annual income was only $5,200. He was able to buy his own house and got married the year after. He feels that Brian is wasteful since he has not been able to get his own place with a current salary of $38,000/per annum.Using the knowledge you have learned from this course, especially as concerns inflation, CPI calculation, and nominal vs. real values, explain to Grandpa Alex why Brian’s income does not have the same buying power as Grandpa Alex’s 1950 income. The BLS’s CPI calculator found in the suggested extra reading folder of the “Start Here-Syllabus” tab will help you in this discussion.
