Description
Consider the various consequentialist and non-consequentialist moral theories we’ve studied this week, such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Choose one theory that you find to be most compelling and another that you find to be least convincing as a guide for ethical and moral action.Present a reasoned argument explaining why you find one theory more persuasive than the other. Your argument should detail the primary strengths you see in your chosen theory and the main weaknesses in the one you find least convincing.Develop a real-world or hypothetical scenario that exemplifies how your preferred theory would be applied to moral decision-making. Ensure that the scenario is complex enough to expose the nuances of your chosen theory.Finally, using the same scenario, illustrate how the theory you found less convincing would approach the situation. Point out where, according to your perspective, it falls short.
