What is our individual and collective responsibility regarding Covid-19. What should we do

Posted: April 19th, 2022

For your final exam you are going to write either one long essay using all six theories or six short essays, one for each theory. You have a choice of issues: either ethical issues surrounding Covid-19 or ethical issues regarding police violence. I have provided two articles on these topics. They are merely examples, you should do some research yourself. But don’t use just any blog or online magazine. This is college and your sources need to be scholarly.

So, do some research on one of the two topics and tell me what all six theories would say about the issue.

What is our individual and collective responsibility regarding Covid-19. What should we do>

or

Is police violence ever morally justified? How do we prevent those many cases in which it is not justified?

These are the articles given by the professor:

–Who Should be Saved First? Experts Offer Ethical Guidance— By Austin Frakt

–Police Violence Calls for Measures beyond De-escalation Training.— By StaceyMcKenna

And these are the six theories that need to be used (all of them).

-Egoism

-Virtue Ethics

-Utilitarianism

-Deontology

-Rights Ethics

-Care Ethics
