Why do ethical issues matter?
- Why do ethical issues matter?
In your workaday life, when ethical issues come up do you find yourself taking a strong stance and voice your opinion, or do you tend to disengage yourself from such conversations?
If the former, what do you think is at stake? That is, why is it so important for you to voice or form an opinion on the matter, especially if it is a matter about other people who have little to nothing to do with you? For example, if we learn that a 11th grade schoolteacher in Maine had sex with her consenting student, why is it so important for you to throw your opinion in on the matter?
If the latter, do you find such conversations a waste of time, distasteful, too difficult to work on, or entirely out of your hands? For example, do you feel that you have the authority to say if someone else’s actions are right or wrong? Do you feel you can draw upon some authority to do so? Or is authority not your aversion at all, but something else? Explain
2. What kind of moral agent are you? (Unit 3 readings)
Having read the passages in this unit, do you find yourself leaning in one direction of moral theorizing more than others? If so, which one(s)? Are you a consequentialist/utilitarian, always thinking about what might happen if you do this or that? Are you a deontologist, always referring to a law, rule, or duty that must be abided by in one’s motivation to act one way or another? Are you a virtue ethicist, primarily concerned with the overall quality of character of a person? Why do you think you find yourself favoring such views? Try to explain as clearly as possible.
3. Why impose sexual morality on others?
The topic of abortion can be approached broadly from two moral directions. On the one hand, we might ask if it is morally justifiable or not. On the other hand, we might ask if it is the right or wrong thing for us to do. The two are clearly not the same, for we may think that polluting a lake is wrong no matter who does it, or we may accept that a legally established limit on some parts per million is morally justifiable while committing our own company to a policy of zero pollutants.
Similarly, some people feel abortion is permissible while believing that they themselves should (or would) never do it. Others feel that if you believe abortion is wrong, this means nothing other than that you shouldn’t have one. Or if the status of the fetus is an issue, then certainly using contraceptives (before a fetus is formed) might be defended on the same grounds. Don’t use them if you think they are wrong to use. Similar claims are made regarding gay marriage. If you’re a man and you think two men shouldn’t be married, don’t marry a man (or don’t frequent churches or institutions that would encourage such unions).
Are these cases the same? If not, explain why. Alternatively, if you think they merit the same line of argument, discuss if you think the general argument holds or not. Should we even be in the business of telling one another what to do in what seems like private decisions, or are we committing some wrong by imposing our moral evaluation of private decisions on others?
