Purpose
This module’s readings focused on justification, which is an important part of any argument. Justification and the theories being used usually do not get their own section in a philosophy paper, as these papers do not usually include a methods section. However, many humanities papers do and all research papers do, so it is a worthwhile practice to practice stating explicitly the assumptions that will be underlying your eventual argument.
Remember, this assignment is intended to build toward the final project. The written sections are designed to be able to serve (with minor modifications) as sections in the written section of the final project.
Instructions
Pick one theory of justification from the readings (e.g., moral absolutism, cultural relativism, etc.). In a few sentences, define that theory in your own words.
Answer the following prompt:
In 1-2 paragraphs, describe your reasoning, or a chain of reasoning, that supports your position on your chosen topic. Use one of the theories of justification – ideally the one you picked earlier – to show how this reasoning is justified.
*** the topic I chose was about Covid and how it was mandatory to get a vaccination.***
Engagement Section:
Respond to the following prompt:
Plato’s Euthyphro presents a dilemma: is the Good Life good because it is loved by the gods, or do the gods love the Good Life because it is good? What are your thoughts on this? Which ‘horn’ of the dilemma is correct – or is there another option?

The assignment is to read the case study and then answer the questions provided (1-15). I have provided the full instruction, case study, and questions. I have also provided the class PowerPoints related to this unit. There is no real minimum amount of words or max, one page for all the questions is fine. (All the examples I have seen have been around 1 page for each case study). Please reach out with any questions.

This week we will continue to explore the ethics of abortion by examining some of the core issues in the “abortion debate” that continues to rage in our nation, and why such a topic remains decisively important in health care.

For this week’s Discussion Post, you are to read an article written by Don Marquis titled “Why Abortion is Immoral.” You can find this reading on pages 336 to 348 of our textbook. In this, Marquis argues that abortion is deeply immoral and problematic. This is not an easy read, so make sure you give yourself the time to really chew on the material.

After reading, write a general reflection discussing what you learned and what stood out to you. You are free to either agree or disagree with Marquis’ position, but you must directly reference his article in your response, and you are to show evidence that you’ve read the entire article.

For your discussion board assignment this week, please discuss something that you learned in either the reading (Chapter 3), or slides, that surprised you or was something that you found particularly interesting. 
Then please do some research and find an article discussing a business dispute.
Please summarize the article and discuss if you think the dispute should be resolved in a court system and why. 
Be sure to include a link to the article in your post.
Please do not use the same article as another student and let me know if you have any questions.

Do you think ‘most people’ are more relativist or absolutist?
Are the theories discussed in the reading the ‘only options’? What might be some other ways we could justify our ethical beliefs?
Would you use the same justification theory when it comes to something that is not ethics, like politics or science?

Complete your Week 3 required discussion prompt.
This week, we are learning about issues surrounding human genetics and eugenics, including stem cell research, cloning, and genetic testing and treatment.
Choose and describe a scientific technique or practice related to genetics and eugenics. Provide the rationale behind the use of this technique or practice.
Discuss your thoughts and ideas regarding the technique or practice. Is it ever justifiable? Why or why not?
Apply Kantianism as an ethical theory to this topic. Is it ever appropriate to allow or prevent access to stem cell research, cloning, and genetic testing and treatment based on one’s own religious or personal biases?

I’m looking for my paper to be on how worker rights have diminished over the years, and possible solutions for workers to regain their agency at their place of employment. I have attached the resources I want to use.

Overview:
As you have seen in this week’s required resources, cultural factors and biases affect the decisions we make about ethical issues. This is true for us, and it is also true for characters in books, movies, and television shows. Now you will take time to reflect on an ethical issue that you have encountered in a movie, book, or television show. For instance, Disney offers a variety of media that have examples of ethical ideologies.
Directions
In this short paper, you will explore how cultural factors and biases affect decision making regarding ethical issues.
Specifically, you must address the following:
Describe a Western, Eastern, or Indigenous Tribal ethical issue from a movie, book, or television show.
Be sure to specify whether the example is a Western, Eastern, or Indigenous Tribal ethical issue.
If the example contains elements of more than one ethical ideology (Western, Eastern, or Indigenous Tribal), be sure to specify what the ethical ideologies are.
Describe how you see bias affecting the decisions the characters made in your example.
Be sure to state what you think the bias is.
Remember that bias can be positive or negative. Everyone has bias.
Explain what cultural morals and values appeared to be guiding the decisions the characters made about the ethical issue.
Be sure to give examples to support your opinion.
What to Submit:
Submit your paper as a one- to two-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Use at least one source to support your short paper. Follow APA citation guidelines when citing sources both throughout and at the end of your paper.
