Discussion Board
I need to complete this assignment but I am having a hard time understanding it. Can someone give me some pointers on what to write on the DB? I just need a guide to start off with.
Some guidelines for DB2: Here’s your chance to demonstrate your ability to think through a philosophical issue to its real-life implications. Start this DB by a brief discussion of the metaethical distinction between consequentialist/teleological views and deontological views in relation to the issues in this scenario. Then note how this would make a difference in the possible conclusions one might reach in this example. Now state your conclusion, and spend the last 250 or so words arguing for your conclusion by showing how it follows from your original decision regarding a metaethical position. Your responses can then focus on how consistent your group members were in following through the logic of their total position. Remember: You may not change the specifics of the scenario. I know you don’t think you will ever be in just this situation, or you may not like it, but we are all often in very similar type situations where we have to choose between several unavoidable but difficult and undesirable options. Here is where it really shows what your metaethical position actually requires of you. That’s the real focus of this assignment: Show that you are able to think through an issue from metaethical position all the way to choice of what to do.
