Ethics

for this five-page essay, you are required to give a summary presentation of the some ethical theories discussed in the Introduction, Moral Isolationism, and Egoism and Moral Skepticism. You only have to make use of two of the chapters.

So, for example, you might devote three of the five pages to reflecting on the different kinds of deontological ethics (divine command theory, cultural relativism, and Kantianism) discussed in the Introduction, and then two pages discussing Moral Isolationism. You decide how much space to devote to specific material from the chapters. The final product, though, must be a total of five pages.

You are also required to cite when you quote directly from the material. You are allowed to bring in outside material, but must cite that material too.
