We start this week by looking at the Initial Operational Capability and Full Operational Capability. For this week's Forum topic you again are going to search for a proper example and explain it to the class, along with a few questions and your colleagues will grill you on the contents and questions; and provide some useful insights along the way. I would suggest finding a recent capability that the DoD has turned into a requirement through the processes we have discussed in this class. Or search for something new. Think about a few questions as you address this week’s topics. Has that capability been declared IOC? What criteria where met to make this declaration possible? If the program has not received, IOC, why not? What about FOC? It is more than likely the system you are researching has not yet been declared FOC, but what is the timeline? What are the obstacles for this system to overcome before FOC is declared? Have fun with this. Make it fun. Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 300 words.

This midterm powerpoint presentation gives you the opportunity to rehearse, analyze and deepen your understanding of all of the prominent, ethical theories we have explored in the course. This activity aligns with module outcomes 2 and 3.Content Requirements: Choose one pop-culture hero, superhero or villain, and identify one ethical issue this figure typically has to tackle. Then explain how your pop figure might solve the same ethical issue from at least 6 different ethical theories we have covered thus far. Make sure your ethical issue or problem is complicated enough for you to apply each ethical theory and to allow enough detailed analysis of the issue. Be sure to draw upon six of the nine theories we have covered thus far: Relativism Virtue Ethics Utilitarianism (Consequentialism, Teleology) Kantian Ethics (Deontology) Feminist Ethics Care Ethics Egoism Nihilism Postmodernism Imagine and include what might be the actions, thoughts, or words the superhero could perform or utter from each particular ethical stance. Every slide should have a specific quote from the hero/heroine and an explanation of how this relates to the corresponding theory. What might be the consequences or aftermath of acting from each particular stance for your chosen pop figure? Don’t forget to include this, along with a variety of unique and colorful graphics for each slide. Citations and References: You should have citations on every slide (Author, Date) for the definition of each theory, for your quotes, and also a reference slide at the end. For example, you might choose the topic of whether a superwomen should kill villains. We had discussed in Module 2 how most superheroes/heroines are deontologists, and almost never opt to break their moral code, regardless of the consequences. In the comic book story of Wonder Woman, although she is usually a deontologist, she does kill the villain Max Lord, essentially undermining the classic superhero/heroine approach of merely apprehending a villain. You would then identify 6 different ethical theories and analyze how the issue of killing villains would play out given each theory.Writing and Presentation Reminders: Create a minimum of a ten-slide PowerPoint with colorful graphics and easy-to-read font on each slide. Logically organize your ideas (you should first identify how the figure typically responds to the issue and what ethical theory typically dominates this figure’s reactions. Ensure that the analysis and description of each of the various ethical theories are accurate. Include one direct, substantial quotation from each our readings for each of the different ethical theories you’re explaining. Be sure to include an APA reference page at the end.
