Question Description I’m working on a ethnic studies discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn. Now that we are familiar with consequentialism, its core moral/ethical imperative to “Always do the best for the most!”, its values/disvalues, etc., we can consider an interesting set of questions. 1) Should driverless cars be…
Description 1) The side of the transgender high school athletes debate that seems to have the maximal amount of “respect for persons” is the one that doesn’t allow transgenders on female teams. Just because it will show respect for more people will not make it the best choice, because transgenders are not only men to…
Description RESPOND TO STUDENT PARAGRAPH : I wouldn’t say i completely share views with them, but i can sure see where they are coming from. I would say the system we have in my opinion doesn’t truly matter, its comes down to the individuals parents, their actions and decisions. The system can only save an…
Description 1) I will discuss Marquis’ analogy and its associated reasoning. 2) The majority of abortions, according to Marquis, are unethical because killing is wrong rather than because fetuses are people.

That is, in order to be moral, we are supposed to always act with the intention to respect people, regardless of whether we actually want to or not. We are supposed to always have “good intentions” when it comes to respecting…
Description In Famine, Affluence, and Morality, etc., Peter Singer presents versions of the following argument. 1. Suffering and death from a lack of food, (drinkable) water, shelter, and proper medical care –especially when the victims of such are children– is terrible. 2.

Description LaFollette is famous/infamous for the suggestion that parents should have to pass various tests, inspections, etc., before being granted a “license to parent”. At base, he is motivated by the desire to prevent child neglect and abuse. He considers the current after-abuse-happens-do-something approach to handling cases of child neglect and abuse to be extremely…
