a. Choose an ethical theory to apply to the broad or narrow view.
b. Briefly outline the theory to demonstrate your understanding of it.
c. Apply it to the issue (HINT: It's easier to apply it to the concept of one view or another, rather than to specific arguments for/against one side). Justify any assumptions that you make.

d. When you have applied the theory, make a clear statement regarding whether or not your application of theory finds your chosen view ethical.
