SLP 4

For your final SLP, think about a major ethical dilemma you faced in the past. Think carefully about how the notions of utilitarian/consequentialist ethics and duty/deontological ethics from the Module 3 and 4 background readings apply to this dilemma.

Then write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following issues:

1. Briefly describe the ethical dilemma you faced.
2. How does the Utility Test apply to this ethical dilemma that you faced?
3. What were the duty/deontological implications of this ethical dilemma?
4. Based on the material from this class, might you have made a different decision regarding this ethical dilemma if you could do it all over again?

SLP Assignment Expectations

• Follow the guidelines in The Student Guide to Writing a High Quality Academic Paper.
• Don’t forget to properly cite your sources—both in-text and as end references!
• You are expected to demonstrate evidence of critical thinking—as defined in the background materials and the grading rubric. Don’t just summarize information. Instead demonstrate your ability to come to a conclusion and support your conclusion using logical arguments.
