Noddings Discussion

This week we are examining, “CARING: A FEMININE APPROACH TO ETHICS” as articulated by Nel Noddings in chapter 21 of our textbook. After reading the text:

1. Find a current ethical issue (either in your own life or on the world stage that is going on right now) and

2. 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.

3. Finally, does she bring anything new or helpful to your own research for your final paper? Explain!

For those of you who missed the video or wish to see it again, here's Emma Watson's address to the United Nations on Feminism:

Outline 1. Introduction-Topic a. Ethical dilemma in protecting civilians while upholding the law 2. Thesis a. Law and order in any society is achieved through law enforcers and respect for the law. In this process, enforcers face ethical dilemmas in various situations. Ethical dilemma among law enforcers is hugely due to stereotypes, personal interests and experiences. Many accusations against law enforcers such as discrimination and use of excessive force are on the rise. Law enforcers should work towards maintaining order without causing harm to innocent people. 3. Two arguments a. It is ethical for law enforcers to use force and profiling to protect the civilians b. It is unethical for law enforcers to use force and profiling to protect the civilians 4. Argument 1 a. Civilians should be ready to accept the use of force and profiling to ensure that criminal activities are eliminated in the society. Law enforcers are able to target individuals rather and plan how to handle them 5. Objection 1 a. It would create fear among civilians as they could be profiled because they belong to certain group in the society. 6. Argument 2 a. The use of force and profiling would result in a negative attitude towards the police enforcement b. The use of these approaches would result in discrimination against certain individuals due to stereotypes. 7. Objection 2 a. Law enforcers would not be able to contain crime because of the lack of profiling of possible individuals involved. Crime would rise as law enforcers would use simple approaches to handling crime which cannot work on hardcore criminals. 8. Argument 3 a. Civilians should take part in the maintenance of law and order. Community policing is crucial in ensuring that the relationship between the law enforcers and the people is established. Trust is important in the process as people are able to work together. 9. Objection 3 a. Although the community plays an important role in eliminating crime, this would not be enough to solve high crime rates. Some societies cooperate with criminals hence it would be difficult to identify criminals 10. Argument 4 a. The society and law enforcers should act within the law provisions. Every individual must take up their responsibilities to make their neighborhoods safe and habitable. 11. Objection 4 a. The society cannot act uniformly hence there are individuals that act against the law. This requires an active involvement of the law enforcers in the society to prevent such individuals form committing crime. Trusting people to act right is not enough to solve crime. 12.
