PAPER: Choose 5 DIFFERENT CASE STUDIES (these can be those we discuss or those we don’t; as long as they are from the TEXT, any case study will work). You are to analyze ALL 5 of the case studies using ONLY ONE of the following ethical theories: Kantian Deontology, Utilitarianism, Nozick’s theory, virtue ethics, Rawls’ theory, or Marxism. Make sure you provide a paragraph that accurately describes the theory you will be using. Make sure you describe the case study before you apply the theory. Provide a general assessment of the paper, i.e., write a conclusion. Avoid using phrases like: “In my opinion,” “I believe,” “Ethics is difficult and not certain, so it is hard to tell if this ethical theory is right or not.” This is an ETHICS course, so don’t do or say anything in your ETHICS PAPER that would undermine ethics as a discipline. Further, you are making an ARGUMENT in this paper, as such there is no room for “personal opinions” or “feelings.”

In this paper you will describe how it is that each of one of these philosophers comes to know
Philosophy Assignment Help In this paper you will describe how it is that each of one of these philosophers comes to know the world around them. Each train of thought, though distinct from each other, has significantly contributed to how we understand knowledge of our surroundings today. While one theory draws on the power to reason (PLATO), the other depends on the collection of empirical data (ARISTOTLE).
Structure of this paper:
Not only will you describe each theory but you will attach one of your beliefs to its
validity. Your introduction should state this important link in its premise.
Explain Plato’s Epistemology. A nice way to do this is to use examples, such as various ‘Forms’ that relate to specific physical objects. Describe the relationship between these ‘Forms’ and objects. Another useful tool here is the Allegory of the Cave.
Next, explain Aristotle’s Epistemology. Again, use concrete, everyday examples to depict how Aristotle talks about ‘form and matter’. How is it that these things exist inherently together within any given particular thing? What is substance? How does this relate to a thing’s essence?
Lastly, contrast these theories of knowledge. The Third Man Argument can help to explain the differences. Then you will explain how your belief is attributed more to one Epistemology than the other, or to neither (with a detailed explanation as to why). As you are thinking about which theory fits your belief the best, understand that rational thought is the groundwork for one of the epistemologies and that the scientific method is a result of the other.
This paper is 3-5 pages in length. All other rules apply.
assignment propose a scenario where you or someone you know are confronted with a moral dilemma relating to cultural diversity and multiculturalism.
Minimum of 2 scholarly sources in addition to the textbook Instructions For this assignment propose a scenario where you or someone you know are confronted with a moral dilemma relating to cultural diversity and multiculturalism. It cannot be the same as what was covered in the week one discussion. Cultural diversity refers to religious, sexual, racial, and other forms of social difference. A moral dilemma is a situation in which one must make a decision between two or more options such that the options involve seemingly ethical and/or unethical conduct. Address the following questions: What was the situation? What did the dilemma involve? What would a subjective moral relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? What would a cultural relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? Is that approach correct? What did you the person confronting the dilemma decide to do? What moral justification did they give? Is that approach morally correct? Was there an objective moral truth (the objectively right thing to do) in this situation? Why or why not? Remember, the dilemma should be detailed with description and dialogue. Regard the questions as requirements. This is an essay, so rather than simply providing a list of brief answers to questions, provide an in-depth reflection regarding a difficult ethical situation.. Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations. Writing Requirements (APA format) Length: 1.5-2 pages (not including title page or references page) 1-inch margins Double spaced 12-point Times New Roman font Title page References page (minimum of 2 scholarly sources)
