Please use 8pt font in Arial to complete this assignment. In addition to completing the assignment, do the following: First, discuss the issue you are looking at. To accomplish this clearly identify at least two sides of the issue (sometimes there is more than just two, but you need to explain at least two). Explain why the sides disagree with each other and what moral values each side is using. Some moral values that people often appeal to are things like freedom, liberty, equality, happiness, God, common good, certain rights, fairness, human compassion, etc. Try and clearly identify which values each side think is most important and how they are using such values to justify their position.
Second, evaluate each side. Do you think the values that each side is using actually justifies their position? If so, why? If not, why not?
Third, discuss which side you does the best job of justifying their position.
Fourth, list your sources. You need to list at least three sources you looked at. (Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable source). News articles, news videos, articles and journals are all acceptable.
You are free to examine whatever ethical issue you would like, but if you are having trouble coming up with a topic here’s a few examples.
Euthanasia: Should a person have a right to die on their own terms? Should would allow doctors to end people’s lives, if these people have a terminal disease and are suffering?
Immigration: What moral issues are involved with immigration? For example, should poor, abused, and starving people be free to try and make a better life for themselves in another country? Is it right for an affluent country to turn away other human beings that need help?
Marijuana: Should adults be free to use drugs if they want to?
Paying workers very little. Places like China and India pay their employees very little. Many of these people make very little money so we can by cheap computers, cell phones, TVs, and other electronic equipment. Are we exploiting these people? You could start by doing a search on Apple’s China factories, if you’re interested in this topic.
Allowing people to play in harmful sports. Should we allow people to play sports if this is causing them harm? Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, and Football all can cause brain injuries. Should people be free to do these things, or do we need to implement more rules and restrictions.
