You will be submitting the topic for your Portfolio Project. Ensuring you have a topic that lends itself well to this assignment is a critical part of your success. There are a lot of excellent ethical topics that may not fit our format. In this discussion, we will work together to craft your topic to ensure you are set up for success!
For your paper, you are going to choose an ethical issue that can be argued from more than one position. The tricky part of the setup is that BOTH positions much be ethical. In other words, we want to have ethical positions in conversation with each other and not one ethical one vs. one unethical one. When you have completed this discussion, you should have a well-crafted topic showing your understanding of two different ethical theories. For clarity please label the elements below in your initial post.
In your initial post please include the following clearly labeled elements:
The question that you will address in your paper. This question needs to have a pro/con structure so that you will be able to express arguments both for and against the issue you have chosen. Please see the topic selection worksheet in the Week 3 Topic Selection Assignment area for examples.
The position you will take.
The counter position you will address. You must be sure that the counter position also has ethical support. One way to do this is to imagine which ethical theory would support that position.
In your response to classmates include the following elements:
State whether you believe your classmates counter-argument has ethical support and explain your position.
State which ethical theory we have studied so far would support the counterargument.
This feedback will be valuable in finalizing your topic. Please wait until you have completed this discussion
