instructions.
Overview
In the Week One Assignment, you chose a concrete moral
question, identified three ethically significant issues that pertain
to that question, and constructed a thesis statement that

2. articulated your position on that question. In the Week Three
Assignment, you discussed either deontological or utilitarian
theory, applied that theory to the topic, and raised a relevant
objection.
By engaging with the course material, you now have had a
chance to refine your thinking and broaden your understanding
of the issue by approaching it from the perspective of multiple
ethical theories.
In this paper, you will demonstrate what you have learned by
writing an essay in which you
· Present a revised thesis statement on the question you are
discussing.
· Identify, explain, and apply the core principles of at least two
ethical theories to draw specific moral conclusions about the
question you are discussing.
· Present your own reasoning on the question you are discussing
and explain which of the ethical theories best supports your own
view on the issue.
Instructions
Write an essay that conforms to the requirements below. The
paper must be 1500 to 2000 words in length (excluding the title
and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as
outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
The paragraphs of your essay should conform to the following
guidelines:
1. Introduction (150 to 200 words):
· Your first paragraph should introduce the topic by briefly and
precisely discussing the concrete problem or question that you
will be addressing, including a brief preview of the ethically
significant issues that make this question important. This should
draw upon your work in the Week One Assignment, but should
be more succinct and reflect the development of your
understanding of those ideas throughout the course.

3. · Conclude your introductory paragraph with the revised
statement of your thesis, and a brief description of the primary
reason(s) supporting your position. (If you changed topics, you
will need to repeat the exercises from the Week One
Assignment, including using the Thesis Generator from the
Ashford Writing Center. Please see the notes and guidelines for
more on this).
2. Application of Two Ethical Theories (1000 to 1200 words):
This section of the Final Paper consists in explaining and
applying the core principles of two ethical theories to the
question or problem you have chosen. One of these theories may
be the theory you used in your Week Three Assignment, but
your discussion here should be more refined and must identify
the specific moral conclusions(s) that result when the theory is
applied to the question or problem you are addressing.
For each of the theories you are considering, you should
b. Explain the core principles or features of the theory and the
general account of moral behavior it provides.
b. Explain how these principles or features apply to the problem
or question under consideration and identify the specific moral
conclusion that results when these theories are applied to that
problem or question.
2. A specific moral conclusion is a statement that takes a moral
stance on the issue at hand. For example, if you’re discussing
the question, “Is the death penalty moral?” a discussion that
identifies and applies the core principles of utilitarian theory
might yield the specific conclusion that the death penalty is
moral because it ensures the greatest good for the greatest
number. Applying virtue ethics might conclude that the death
penalty exhibits the vice of cruelty, or a deontological theory
might worry that it fails to treat the criminal as an end-in-itself.
(Note: These are just examples; you may not write on the death
penalty, nor is it necessarily the case that each theory would
lead to the conclusion mentioned).

4. 2. For purpose of this assignment, it’s best if you explain its
core principles and moral conclusion(s) and apply one theory
first and then turn to the second theory. This section of the
paper should be approximately 1000 to 1200 words (500 to 600
words for each theory application).
1. Evaluation (150 to 300 words):
In this section of the paper, you should explain which ethical
theory you think presents the most persuasive moral argument
on this question and why. Then briefly address a common
objection to that argument that you have not yet considered in
the main part of your paper, and provide a concise response to
that objection.
. For example, if you were writing on capital punishment, you
might think that a utilitarian argument that defends position X
is most persuasive. You would then raise an objection against a
utilitarian defense of position X, and defend that view against
the objection.
· Conclusion (150 to 300 words):
Provide a conclusion that sums up what you presented in the
paper and offer some final reflections, including a revised
statement of the thesis (do not simply repeat your thesis, but
rephrase it in light of the discussion you just presented).
Resource Requirement:
You must use at least four resources. Two of the resources must
be drawn from the list of acceptable resources on each of the
two theories you discuss. For example, if you write on
deontology and virtue ethics, you would need at least one
resource under the “Deontology” list, and at least one resource
under the “Virtue Ethics” list. The other two may be from either
the Required or Recommended Resources lists, or from the
Ashford University Library.
· If you need help with finding additional resources, or are
unsure about whether a particular resource will count toward the
requirement, please contact your instructor.

5. · The textbook does not count toward the resource requirement.
· Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the
reference page. For information regarding APA, including
