•     In the excerpt from the Republic the example
  of the ring of Gyges is used to claim that humans

  be caught. Present an example of someone being
  morally good out of fear and then present an
  example of someone being morally good out of an
  inherent desire to act in a specific way.
  Discuss with others the idea that morality is
  inherent and based on universal principles or
  virtues versus the idea that ethics is socially
  created and varies based on human social and
  political context. Which do you find to be more
  convincing? Which philosophical reasons would
  you present for thinking that your position is
  the best position?

•     If the primary goal of utilitarianism is to
  generate the greatest good for the greatest
  number, a secondary goal is to minimize
  suffering. Using at least one quote from one of
  the required readings, discuss the ways in which
  these two principles are consistent or
  inconsistent with each other. If you think they
  are consistent, provide a real or imagined
  example that illustrates this consistency. If you
  think they are inconsistent, provide a real or
  imagined example that illustrates this
  inconsistency. Complete your post by discussing
  whether minimizing suffering is equal to, lesser
  than, or more important that generating the
  greatest good for the greatest number.

Justification)

  justification for denying moral consideration to
  animals. Can you think of a good moral reason why
  our moral consideration should include all
  humans, even those without the ability to reason,
  yet be denied to all non-human animals (some of
  whom have that ability)? What response might he
  have to your way of drawing the line between the
  types of beings that should get moral
  consideration and those that should not?

PHI 208 Week 3 Discussion (Hero) 

• For more course tutorials visit

• www.newtonhelp.com
• Think of someone real or fictional whom some
  people regard as a hero for helping others,
  stopping something bad or evil, and so forth,
  even though by doing so they violated what would
  normally be considered a moral rule (focus on
  morality don't simply think of someone who broke
  the law). For example, they may have lied, broken
  a promise, stolen, harmed someone innocent, or
  even murdered, but done so with good intentions.
  (Note this last part is crucial make sure you
  explain what it was that they did that would
  otherwise be morally questionable. Also, it need
  not be someone you think is a hero.)

PHI 208 Week 3 Discussion (Kant Right Action) 

• For more course tutorials visit
• Uophelp is now newtonhelp.com
• www.newtonhelp.com
• Kant famously states that the only thing good
  without qualification is a good will. On this
  basis, he holds that we can do the right action
  but not out of a good will, and that only actions
  done from a good will are morally praiseworthy.
  Do you agree with Kant? Provide an example (real
  or made up) of someone doing a good thing but out
  of a motive other than that of a good will, and
  give reasons for why you think Kant is right, or
  why you think Kant is wrong that this action
  lacks moral value. Discuss the importance of the
  will and how one can attempt to create a good
  will. If you do not think a good will is
  important discuss your reasons for believing that
  the will is not important in ethical action.

lie) 

• For more course tutorials visit
• Uophelp is now newtonhelp.com
• www.newtonhelp.com
• Is it ever morally permissible to lie to someone?
  Describe a circumstance in which it seems that
  lying might make more people happy than telling
  the truth. Would lying be the right thing to do
  in that circumstance, or is it our moral duty to
  tell the truth, even then? Consider what
  Immanuel Kant would say, and explain that with
  reference to this weeks readings. Then, offer
  your own perspective. If you agree with Kant,
  consider and respond to an objection to his view.
  If you disagree with Kant, explain why. Discuss
  the positive and negative aspects of
  deontological theory as it relates to another of
  the theories you have encountered in this course.
