Use your own ideas but also incorporate (or at least don’t ignore) anything relevant from the reading. Answer this question or “Option 1 about the Justification of Punishment”. Except that: Students who have taken a previous ethics course from me should answer the “Alternative question for Week 7: Active versus Passive Euthanasia.”
Read this selection from Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov Download this selection from Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov that makes the case that no one, not even God, can or should forgive a person for a harm that person did to another — that one can only forgive a person for a harm that person did to oneself. 1) Do you think that is true or not? Why or why not? 2) Are there criteria that are individually necessary and jointly sufficient for someone to deserve forgiveness or that make it right to forgive someone, or is forgiveness just up to anyone to forgive another for any reason s/he decides or any way s/he feels? 3) Is there any way a person who has murdered an innocent person can deserve forgiveness, if forgiveness is something that has criteria that can make it deserved? Why or why not? 4) If you choose not to let another person’s wrong or terrible actions “consume you” or “eat you up with venom and anger” and keep you in a state of anger or frustration, but instead you choose to put it out of your mind and “go on with your life”, is that to “forgive” the person? Why or why not? 5) If out of a sense of love for all other human beings, you immediately say you forgive someone who has wronged you, even terribly, is that actually forgiving them? Why or why not?
To try to make this easier for you, consider a fairly easy, non-emotional kind of case and see whether you can figure out what you should do to deserve forgiveness and then try to generalize from there. Consider the following: your dog gets out of your yard and goes into the neighbor’s yard and poops on his driveway and tears up some of his flowers in a flower bed. What do you need to do in order to deserve forgiveness for this? There are at least four things. What are they? Generalize then about any wrongdoing. And, can a different neighbor forgive you for what your dog did to this neighbor’s yard? Why or why not?

INSTRUCTIONS:
Select one of the papers listed on the course schedule from 1/23 through 2/13 that you find interesting. At length, and in a charitable manner, present the argument or perspective advanced in this paper. Then, present a thoughtful objection (if it’s one we haven’t discussed in class, run it by me first). You may, if appropriate, engage with a second reading in raising your objection (e.g., you might find it useful to cite Tom Regan in raising an objection to Singer). Finally, consider what the author might say in response to the objection, and explain whether you think this response is satisfactory.
Your paper should, of course, include introductory and concluding paragraphs; the introduction should end with a nice, clear thesis statement that informs the reader of your purpose/aim. Make sure that your paper is well-edited and clearly written before submission.
TIPS:
Below are some general guidelines to bear in mind as you begin working on your term papers.
(1) If you hope to make an A, both the content and prose need to be impeccable. So, leave plenty of time for proofreading and editing. Reading a draft aloud, or to a friend, is a great way to catch errors and clunky, awkward wording. Also note that, all else being equal, longer papers tend to do better than shorter ones.
(2) You must include the required in-text citations. Every time you quote or paraphrase, you need to give me the relevant page number.
(3) You should not consult an outside source (unless we’ve talked, and you’ve cleared it with me). The point of the paper is to give you a chance to really engaged with one of the course readings in depth.
(4) Your thesis statement should take the form “In this paper, I will X, Y, and Z.” And very specific. Don’t just tell me “I’ll raise an objection to the ontological argument”; tell me which objection you will raise.
(5) You need an introduction and a conclusion. A paper should not start or end abruptly. But these paragraphs should be succinct – no more than half a page.
(6) Avoid the temptation to use flowery prose or unnecessary technical terms.
(7) Avoid cliche introductions (e.g., “From the beginning of time…”).
(8) Be fair and charitable. You be discussing a position, or an objection to a position, about which you have strong feelings. Don’t allow those feelings to cause you to present ideas in a tendentious fashion.
(9) Avoid loaded terms and rhetorical flourishes.
(10) Don’t waste time on elaborate cover pages or headings. All you really need is a title.
(11) No need to cite me.
(12) Avoid super long paragraphs. If a paragraph is more than 3/4 of a page in length, you should probably break it up. If it extends beyond a single page, you definitely should break it up.
(13) Do not pose as an expert on the topic: you are not one.
(14) Do not attempt to do more than the prompt instructs: the goal of your paper is modest; you should not conceive of yourself as saying the final or definitive word about anything.

Judge the medical case studied in class during Week 8 in the Discussion Board. In the video, philosophers applied the three major ethical principles you learned in this class: Kant’s Categorical Imperative, Utilitarianism, and Virtue Ethics. In a five paragraph essay, apply ONE ethical theory to decide the moral course of action in the medical case of the premature twins studied in class. Apply the ethical theory in each paragraph to support your arguments throughout the entire essay. Not using the ethical theory results in an automatic zero. Using more than one ethical theory results in an automatic zero. (50 points) You have 4 hours to complete this exam. You only have ONE attempt to complete this exam.

Purpose
Sources are very important for several reasons. First, they allow us to justify our arguments and show that the positions and ideas we are presenting are not isolated – that other people have had the same idea and talked about or shown similar conclusions. Sources provide evidence that can support our claims and make people more likely to be convinced – or at least consider what we are trying to argue for.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, they are required to avoid plagiarism. Knowing how to correctly cite the work that you are building on preserves the integrity and trustworthiness of our investigation and can provide a handy shorthand – if someone else has already done the work of demonstrating something, you can cite them and not have to re-invent the wheel, so to speak.
Written Section:
Find 4 sources that you believe support your position on your chosen topic. These can be news articles, academic journal articles, blogs, videos – anything that you believe provided evidence of something you think is true and relates to your argument. Your sources do not need to directly prove your position, they can contribute evidence to various claims or even provide background assumptions.
Create an ‘annotated bibliography’ for your sources. Follow the format outlined in the Annotated Bibliography Instructions page.
