Description

PHL 282: Ethics

Getting Started

Consider the following catalog of social dilemmas. Fortunately, you need not reinvent the wheel as you develop your ethical views in these areas. Many books and internet resources are available to help you reflect on these social dilemmas. Issues of Life and Death

• Animals and Environment

Euthanasia

• Abortion
• War and Violence
• Political Relationships
• Justice and Economic Distribution

Welfare

• Disobedience, Punishment, Law

Personal Relationship

• Sex, Love, Marriage
• Parents and Children
• This outline comes from an ethics textbook, edited by John Arthur, entitled, Morality and Moral Controversies (Upper Saddle River: Prentice Hall, 1998). Arthur has found a helpful way of organizing these issues, but the topics themselves are not unique to Arthur’s volume. They are the central social dilemmas of our day.

During this workshop, see if you can develop your understanding of these issues. In relation to these issues, what opinions have you previously formed? Reevaluate the positions you have held. Do any of them need modification?

• Issues of Life and Death

These issues make headlines today. For example, what rights do animals have?

• Loggers in the Northwest sometimes lose their jobs when the government hinders them from clearing land that harbors an endangered species. Dumping untreated or under-treated waste material directly into the ocean saves coastal communities millions of dollars in taxes, but kills more and more marine life. Scientists use animals to test the effectiveness of new medicines intended for humans, but these experiments sometimes result in great suffering and death for the animals. Should any of these practices be allowed? What is right and what is wrong in these areas?
• What rights do unborn human beings have? What rights do pregnant women have? What happens when these rights conflict? The great abortion debates of past decades have wearied most of us to the point of apathy. Yet how can anyone feel apathetic about daily destruction of thousands of unborn babies? If abortion involves, as many people believe, the taking of an innocent human life, then the scale of murder staggers the imagination. If it is not, then at the very least, many women experience post abortion emotional and spiritual wounds.

Do adults have the right to end their own lives? Should a terminally ill person experiencing overwhelming pain be forced to continue enduring that pain? In such cases, should we allow euthanasia or assisted suicide? What is right and what is wrong here?

Is there such a thing as a good war? Many Americans feel George W. Bush did the right thing in toppling Saddam Hussein, the dictator in Iraq. But was this military action a just war? Was it fought for appropriate reasons? How should American leaders decide which cruel dictators they should overthrow? Or in which African civil wars should they intervene? Can war be seen as a good thing, or even as the best option in a particular situation? What is right and what is wrong?
