Problem
1. Why does Sartre think that we are condemned to responsibility for our own choices and actions? Do you agree? Explain.
2. Another thought experiment:Jack and Jill Case - Both Jack and Jill, young bank tellers, realize that there is a flaw in the banking computer system and infer that they could successfully embezzle money without getting caught [but they do not know each other, so there is no communication of this occurring through a team effort]. Jack finds the temptation extremely difficult to resist, especially since he knows that he could get away with it. However, in the end, Jack realizes that it is better not to take the risk and does not embezzle the money. Jill on the other hand, is not tempted to steal the money for even a moment. She realizes the ease which with she could do it, but does not actually consider embezzling the money. Instead, she immediately goes to her superior and reports the problem so that it can be fixed. Jack has strength of will, but lacks integrity, while Jill possesses integrity but does not even require strong will power. Which individual is more/less praiseworthy according to each theory? [utilitarianism, deontology, virtue theory]
3. Feminist and care ethics place a great deal more emphasis on emotion. How important is emotion, or how important should it be, in our moral judgments? Are there any worries about giving emotions a greater emphasis do you think?
4. Now having encountered a variety of ethical theories, which do you find the most favorable and why? [We've covered the big ones: utilitarianism, deontology, virtue theory, and feminist/care ethics].
