Instruction
: Choose one of the essays in The Ethical Life, Part 4, “Moral Problems,” that concerns an issue you are particularly interested in (world hunger, homosexuality, euthanasia, terrorism, the treatment of animals, the environment, abortion, legal justice, enhancing human beings, affirmative action). Then (1) summarize the author’s argument (what moral judgment is the author trying to promote or convince you of? what reasons does the author present for his/her view?) (2) try to identify what moral theory, if any, the author is applying, and (3) make a judgment about the author’s position on the issue discussed and/or the author’s reasoning (i.e., agree or disagree with the author’s position and/or reasoning and explain why you agree or disagree).
