In your answer please provide a moral argument that uses a moral principle as one of its premises. Be sure to consider objections to your argument, and respond to those objections.

 Finding Fallacies Reflection Log

ASSIGNMENT 1-FINDING FALLACIES: REFLECTION LOG

For this assignment, find and explain the use of one of the fallacies discussed in Chapter 3. You should find the fallacy in your daily life. Do not take an example from the textbook or internet. In at least a paragraph, name and describe the fallacy you found. Where did you see or hear it? How did it occur? In what context? What do you believe was the purpose behind its use?

You may find fallacies in your own thinking, in conversations with family and friends, in television and radio advertisements, political ads, political debates, and interviews with or announcements from politicians. Be sure to choose an example for this exercise that allows you to answer the questions above in order to write a complete paragraph.

 

ASSIGNMENT 2-ETHICS IN DAILY LIFE: QUESTIONS ASSIGNMENT

To start thinking about doing ethics in a bit more detail, I believe you will enjoy viewing the following Ted Talk video from Michael D. Burroughs at Penn State University.

View the video here:

The Significance of Ethics and Ethics Education in Daily Life | Michael D. Burroughs | TEDxPSU

For this assignment, answer the following questions fully:

  • According to the video, what is an “everyday ethicist”? Do you believe you are an everyday ethicist? Why or why not?
  • Research discussed in the video shows that most middle and high schools “avoid, ignore, and pretend the issues will go away” when it comes to discussing ethical issues in the classroom. Was this your experience in middle school and/or high school? Explain your answer.
  • In your view, how important is a discussion of the everyday ethical issues we face in life? Should it be part of required college curriculum? Why or why not?

Truth Table Symbolic Notation Propositional Form

These are the instructions that I was provided with for my assignment. I am currently confused on how to make truth tables and how to translate these problems into symbolic notation and propositional form. If someone could help explain to me how I should solve these problems that would be greatly appreciated. I have watched multiple tutorials and read the book yet I am still very confused so that more detailed your responses could be, I would greatly appreciate it.

a.Translate each argument into SYMBOLIC NOTATION For #9 use the letters (A, C, G) instead of the ones given in the text.

b.Convert the argument to PROPOSITIONAL FORM

c.Do a TRUTH TABLE and check for validity using the truth table techniques that we have been practicing.

1. The Republicans will carry either New Mexico or Arizona; but, since they will carry Arizona, they will not carry New Mexico. (A, N)

2. If Bobby moves his queen there, he will lose her. Bobby will not lose his queen. Therefore, Bobby will not move his queen there. (M, L)

3.Although Brown will pitch, the Rams will lose. If the Rams lose, their manager will get fired. So their manager will get fired. (B, L, F)

4.America will win the Olympics unless China does. China will win the Olympics unless Germany does. So America will win the Olympics unless Germany does. (A, R, E)

5. The grass will die if it rains too much or it does not rain enough. If it does not rain enough, it won’t rain too much. If it rains too much, then it won’t not rain enough. So the grass will die. (D = The grass will die, M = It rains too much, E = It rains enough.)

Kantianism vs Utilitarianism

Kantianism vs Utilitarianism

topic:

Consider the film Boomerang!, (1947) by Elia Kazan. How does this film argue in favor of Kantianism and radically against Utilitarianism? Consider the readings in our text. Use your own mind to formulate a response. (Hints: Think about Kant’s view of persons and the respect that we owe them as members of the moral community. Think of the accused man and the district attorney’s decision to defend him. What possible consequences might the district attorney face by defending the innocence of the accused? Why would Kant recommend such a defense? Why would Utilitarian recommend against such a defense.)
