Your paper will analyze an important
contemporary moral issue.
You will review both sides of the issue you
choose, and determine your own stance.
You will need to refer to at least two of the
ethical theories we have considered in class
this semester.
Distribution of wealth; torture and terrorism;
abortion; euthanasia (medically-assisted suicide);
genetic engineering (cloning, or stem cell
research); LGBT concerns; gender roles;
affirmative action; pornography; prostitution;
sexual harassment; punishment (death penalty);
war; animal rights; climate change; polygamy, etc.
Examples of Moral Issues
You are not limited to just the options in the list on
the previous slide.
If you think of another topic you’d like to write
about, I’d love to hear about what you have in
mind!
