Description

3-4 page Microsoft Word document. Your analysis should answer the following questions:

  • Assuming that this practice of working with the prostitutes is approved by the chief; can emotivism be applied to understand the perspective of all parties except the student? Does their behavior fall under objectivist, subjectivist, naturalistic, or non-naturalistic theory?
  • Is it ethically justifiable to disregard the minor crime of prostitution if it is believed that it will assist in capturing more dangerous or violent criminals? Use relative statements and arguments to support your stand, using correct terminology.
  • Since it is obvious that the chief is not fully upholding the oath of office, should the student report this activity to the state attorney general? What is the student’s ethical responsibility?

prostitutes in order to combat crime yields satisfactory results for the parties involved or rather
makes them happy(Sarkissian, 2008) This arrangement must then be described theoretically.
This involves an application of meta-ethical theories.
The first of these theories is objectivism. Moral objectivism in this case implies that there
is an objective fact for this matter regardless of whether the action in question is morally right or
wrong or whether it is acceptable or unacceptable (Sarkissian, 2008). This however contrasts
with subjectivist theory which holds that no truth exists independently to ones perception. This is
