If you would like to switch \u00a0topics, you should first consult with your instructor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Place your ethical question beneath the Part 1: Ethical Question heading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 2: Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Provide an introduction to the topic and question.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This should be revised and expanded from the Week 1 Introduction in \u00a0light of your instructor\u2019s comments and the additional insight and \u00a0information you have gained from research on the topic.<\/li>\n<li>For instance, you may find that your original ideas about the issue \u00a0have changed and clarified, that the focus of the ethical question has \u00a0shifted or become more specific, and\/or that there are important \u00a0background and contextual details that need to be explained.<\/li>\n<li>The revised introduction should reflect your additional thinking on \u00a0the scope and significance of the ethical issue, and address any \u00a0feedback provided by your instructor.<\/li>\n<li>The introduction should be at least 300 words in one or two paragraphs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Place the introduction material under the Part 2: Introduction heading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 3: Explanation of the Ethical Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ethical theories provide accounts of how to reason well about moral \u00a0questions and of what justifies answers to those questions. In this \u00a0section of the paper, you will discuss either the ethical theory of \u00a0utilitarianism, deontology, or virtue ethics.<\/p>\n<p>You should not discuss your topic in this section, but focus only on the ethical theory.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion should include the following elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A brief account of the historical background of the theory and the philosopher(s) associated with it.<\/li>\n<li>An explanation of the core moral principle of the theory, or if \u00a0there is more than one, the principle that you will focus on in applying \u00a0that theory to your question.<\/li>\n<li>A brief, general explanation of how the theory and its core moral \u00a0principle applies to moral questions, using an example different from \u00a0the issue that is the main focus of your paper. (For example, if your \u00a0focus is on how deontology applies to using animals in medical research, \u00a0you could explain Kant\u2019s moral theory by discussing how it would apply \u00a0to an issue like lying for the sake of the greater good.)<\/li>\n<li>This section should focus only on the ethical theory. For instance, \u00a0if you are discussing physician-assisted suicide from a utilitarian \u00a0perspective, this section should only discuss utilitarianism in general \u00a0terms; you should not discuss physician-assisted suicide, euthanasia, or \u00a0other related topics until the next section.<\/li>\n<li>The discussion should be around 300 words and must incorporate at \u00a0least one quote from the required resources on the ethical theory you \u00a0have chosen to discuss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Place this section under the Part 3: Ethical Theory heading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 4: Application of the Ethical Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that you have explained in general terms the core principle of \u00a0the ethical theory you are focusing on in this paper, you will apply \u00a0that theory and its core principle to your ethical question.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Explain as clearly and precisely as you can how that principle leads to a particular conclusion.<\/li>\n<li>You can think of that conclusion as the answer someone would most \u00a0likely give to your question if they were reasoning along the \u00a0utilitarian, deontological, or virtue ethics lines you explained in Part \u00a03.<\/li>\n<li>Note: This conclusion does not need to be the same as the position \u00a0you stated in the Week 1 assignment. In fact, it could be the opposing \u00a0position you discussed there.
