Moral Theory Scenario

/in /by

Q: While sitting in your favorite restaurant, you overhear the owner tell a mildly racist joke to one of the other customers. You come here a lot and you know the owner in passing, while the person to whom he is speaking is a stranger to you but clearly is a friend of the owner. You have never seen (or heard) the owner do anything of this sort before.

What would the philosopher Kant, and his namesake moral theory suggest you should do? Use the principles of the theory to justify your decision(s) (i.e. the two formulations of the categorical imperative).

Remember: Don’t just tell us what they would suggest doing; show us why they would recommend doing it as well, citing relevant information from the case and the theory.

For this Discussion, consider how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology. Post an explanation of one moral development theory and its connection to the act of bullying. Be sure to frame your explanation within the context of cyber and other bullying that persists in social media and communication technologies used by adolescents. Also explain how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. Discussion 2: Bullying: Cycle of Events Bearing witness to trauma has its own set of consequences. Watching repeated episodes of bullying can evoke strong emotional and behavioral responses from an adolescent. During the impressionable stage of social development in adolescents, these experiences can contribute to a change in perception about the ways people should and do treat each other. Furthermore, ongoing exposure to this behavior can jeopardize an adolescent’s healthy social development. For this Discussion, consider how the act of bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it.
