Overview
I'm working on a philosophy question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
- Please describe a situation from your life in which you made a difficult ethical decision or in which you witnessed someone making a difficult ethical decision. (Feel free to change any details that might identify a specific person. For example, if it is a family situation, instead of saying "my sister" you could say "a relative". If it is a work situation, you could refer to "a co-worker" instead of naming someone. You could make up people's names, etc.) (Write 100-150 words)
- Pick an online news story from 2023 from a mainstrean news source (i.e., one of the major American newspapers) that contains an ethically problematic situation. For now, let's understand this as a situation in which someone is harmed.
- Provide a link to the story, i.e., copy and paste the URL
- Describe what the story is about. (Write 50-100 words)
- Describe: (Write 75-100 words)
- what, specifically, you regard as ethically problematic about what happened
- an important value that is violated in the situation (be sure to explain how it is violated)
- how you think the harm could have possibly been prevented
