discussion

Complete your Week 1 required discussion prompt.

• In your own words, describe the primary difference between consequentialist and non-consequentialist approaches to ethics.
• Choose one of the major theories associated with consequentialism: what objections might be made to this theory?
• Choose one of the major theories associated with non-consequentialism: what objections might be made to this theory?
• In addition to your main response, you must also post substantive responses to at least two of your classmates’ posts in this thread. Your response should include elements such as follow-up questions, further exploration of topics from the initial post, or requests for further clarification or explanation on some points made by the classmates.

• Use proper grammar and proper capitalization.
• I recommend you create your posting and replies in a Word document, run spell & grammar check, and then copy and paste it into the discussion forum. Please do not post attachments in the discussion forum as your peers may not be able to view them.
• Ensure your references are formatted in APA 7th edition. (Visit
• for helpful formatting guidance.)
• Develop substantive peer responses which means extend the discussion or add to the points made. Writing something like “That was a great response, Jane. I appreciate the way you presented the information. I now have a better understanding of the content” is not substantive. While this response has a few sentences to it, this is basically an extended version of “good job”. A more appropriate response would be “Thank you for this contribution to our discussion, Jane. Your points about research topics are valid. In performing research, it is critical to ensure the sources selected are both timely and relevant. Research within the last five years from trusted sources is ideal. Further, it is important to use peer-reviewed information when possible, as this increases the credibility of the research conducted”.
