Description

Your first paragraph should contain the title of the show/film, introduce the character(s), explain the moral dilemma and include the theory that you are using (one theory). In addition, provide any necessary background information that I might need to know in the first paragraph. Background information should not exceed 150 words.

For this paper, you must demonstrate knowledge of two theories. You argue for one position. Then, you take a critics position and argue for another theory. Lastly, you explain why the criticism fails.

For example, you argue that Clark Kent is a utilitarian. Then, an opposing party might argue that he is a virtue ethicist, so you explain that position. Then, you’ll explain why the opposing party fails.

The following theories are acceptable: nihilism, ethical relativism (either ethical subjectivism or cultural relativism, but you cannot use both), utilitarianism, Kantianism, virtue ethics, ethical egoism, and feminist ethics.

I must have access to the television show or film. I have access to both Netflix and Amazon. A YouTube clip will also work, but please cite the film.

In addition, indicate where the dilemma in the film occurs. For example, at the bottom of the works cited page indicate that the dilemma occurs 45 mins (or however long) into the film. If you use a youtube link, please include the link at the bottom of your works cited, but don’t cite youtube; Just cite the film. (This part is just for my reference, so it will not be in the MLA handbook)

Your assignment should be in MLA format, be 1000-1200 words, and include a works cited page. (Works cited page is not included in the word count) You must have a minimum of 3 sources including the film. You must use a minimum of 5 in-text citations and are required to use your Canvas reading assignments as sources. Please double space and use 12-point font. (Note: You can use each chapter as a different source)

All of the readings on canvas are from Shafer-Landau’s The Fundamentals of Ethics. 3rd ed.
