Philosophy Question

Using the material on moral compasses from Weeks 1 and 2, write a paper of no less than 600 words that accomplishes the following:

• Choose one of the two templates, APA or MLA, and follow directions. The information below offers an elaboration on these directions. You can use the documentation style preferred by your degree, but pick one of the two templates.
• In a section titled “Theories” identify no more than two Frameworks identified in Brown (Consequentialist, Duty, or Virtue). Be sure to ponder the Deliberative process, Focus, Definition of Ethical Conduct, and Motivation in the chart listed in the discussion of frameworks. Do NOT pick all three.
• Note, you are not locked into this or these Frameworks as your personal disposition is likely to become more refined as you go through the course and learn more theories and more about these theories. The goal here is to ponder how various frameworks fit your personality. This goodness of fit is more important than the Framework(s) selected.
• In the section titled Issue Identified you will identify one and only one and only one issue from Markkulas Ethics Spotlight (Gen AI and Ethics, Violence at the Capitol, Ethics and Systemic Racism, etc.). The choice is yours. Briefly summarize the situation and why you believe you feel it is an ethical problem.
• From here, this assignment is about critical thinking as much as ethics. Critical thinking involves problem solving methods. What matters is how well you address each part and that you think your way through the method. In this case, the assignment uses Browns method for Applying the Frameworks to Cases. What your teacher will look for is how well you use this method to justify your conclusion. Please do not skip any parts and be sure to address each step adequately.
• USE the template and DO NOT delete the section headings.
• Note that all papers must be double-spaced and follow either APA or MLA formatting.
