Application of Ethical Theory
Use three ethical theories (Kant deontological theory, John Stuart Mill teleological theory/utilitarianism/consequentialism, Aristotle virtue-based approach, John Rawl theory of justice, or your own theory) to analyze and resolve the problem.
How would each ethicist explain the ethical problem and resolve it? Use headings to identify each ethical theory and develop each one in one or more paragraphs.
As a conclusion, select the ethical theory you believe provides the best solution to this ethical dilemma and explain why it is better than the other ethical theories you considered.
In discussing the ethical theories, refer back to what you have learned from the assigned readings from the textbook up to this point. You may choose to use brief quotations from our textbook. If you do, use the author/date system and identify quotes by page number.
