Discussion 1
In Chapter 1 you studied the three ethical perspectives (relativism, emotivism, and ethical egoism), and in Chapter 2 you saw examples of how to apply ethical theories and perspectives to various concrete issues.
The purpose of this discussion is to understand and apply ethical perspectives.
Prepare and post a response to the following prompt:
Define and contrast the three ethical perspectives.
How do the perspectives differ from the ethical theories?
What does each ethical perspective tell us about morality and virtue?
Think of an issue that has occurred in your community over the past year. This may be a public issue that has generated interest in the press, or it may be something that has come up in your child's school, in your church, in a social club you belong to, or in your neighborhood.
Describe the issue, and then analyze the issue from the perspective of one of the ethical perspectives. Apply the perspective to understand the issue in the same way that the author applies the theories and perspectives to understand the issues in the text.
