so im taking professional ethics and today we had to turn in our mid term paper on beneficence and maleficene, autonomy, justice, moral rules, and deontology/kant. man, never in my life have i had a harder time writing a paper. it only had to be 2 pages but still, i think i did well over 7 hours of reading and i still dont think i have a good grasp on this stuff.

I had some serious problems with that class too. Was your paper on a specific field of study case?

nah not really, she mainly just had up define give examples and work out our examples using reasoning and what not. the one that sucked the most was the justice part. we had to talk about different philosophers opinions on each of the different types of justice. just finding their opinions on procedural, distributive, and retributive justice was hard enough. I just used John Rawls opinions since he is supposed to be at the for front in that field.

what makes it worse is im taking it online and all lectures are in a chat room with horrible lag. keeping up is a pain in the ass!

Most ethical schools differences come down to the question... do the ends justify the means.

(for my business ethics, mandatory class) I have to write on essay on csr - corporate social responsibility - and whether mcdonalds is a good 'corporate citizen'. we're not supposed to explore what a corporate citizen even is... applied ethics is stupid
