The Ethicist:
The Ethicist column in New York Magazine, authored by the philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah, provides a platform for readers to seek advice on moral quandaries. Through philosophical reasoning and cultural awareness, the column analyzes ethical dilemmas, offering practical guidance for personal and societal challenges.
In this assignment you will engage with a recent article from the ethicist “Is It Wrong to Bring a Child Into Our Warming World Download Is It Wrong to Bring a Child Into Our Warming World” by Kwame Anthony Appiah. In your paper, you must accomplish the following goals:
1) Describe the ethical dilemma posed by reader and explain the basic position Appiah gives in response. Identify any moral assumptions he seems to be making in his answer.
2) Define and explain both the utilitarian and Kantian moral theories, and then determine whether Appiah’s stance leans more towards one of these perspectives. Support your analysis with clear references from the article.
3) Develop your own solution to the dilemma as if you were writing The Ethicist column and giving a response to the person who has written in. Employ insights from both utilitarian and Kantian frameworks to craft a thoughtful and well-reasoned resolution. Construct at least two separate arguments supporting your viewpoint.
Remember, this article is chiefly over whether there are ethical reasons not to have children. Feel free to explore this topic beyond the specific case of environmental degradation and whether there might be other circumstances in which it would be unethical to reproduce.
Your response should demonstrate a deep understanding of the ethical theories, the article’s content, and your capacity to synthesize these elements to offer a balanced and rational conclusion. Do feel free to challenge and object to Appiah’s answer or any assumptions that are being made in the article.

Further Expectations:
Every paper should demonstrate careful refection, original thinking, attention to detail, and application of the reasoning strategies that were discussed at the beginning of class. Further, it is expected that students will implement:
(i) material taken from the textbook
(ii) material discussed in class
(iii) at least two scholarly sources outside the textbook written by a professional philosopher on a topic relevant to this issue (reproductive rights, environmental ethics, etc.)
All sources must have scholarly credentials. Some professional websites or newspaper articles maybe appropriate, but books from academic presses and/or scholarly journal articles are preferred. Any material used in the paper must be cited appropriately (even the textbook).
Your primary objective needs to be to communicate to me that you have accurately and thoroughly understood these ethical perspectives and how they might apply to the ethics of having children. The individuals who will score the highest will be the ones who spend a sizable portion of the paper explaining and illustrating the ethical theories as presented by Lewis Vaughn, in the primary sources. Moreover, be sure to write your analysis according to the standard conventions of academic prose, and avoid leaving quotations or paraphrased material hanging without introduction or comment.

Leave Out Fluff:
Write as consistently as possible using the third person (i.e., avoiding references to “I,” “my,” “me,” and/or preferring sentences with phrases such as “To me, this means…” “In my opinion…” “I feel, believe, think, etc.”) Stay on topic the whole time and attempt not to waste large parts of the paper using hyperbolic, exaggerated, or poetic language. Be sure that each section has a clear theme and refrains from bouncing around from point to point without a clear direction or structure.
