“Virtue Ethics and Natural Law: An Evaluation of Welfare Policies through the Lens of Aristotle and Aquinas”

You will research and write about one of the case studies connected with at least one central philosophical system, and one or more of the more modern political philosophers and their readings and thoughts. That means you must apply one of the following systems of ethics: Virtue Ethics, Natural Law, Utilitarianism of Mill (not Bentham), and the Deontology of Kant. Also, you must integrate at least one (if not more) of the Political philosophers, social scientists, and policy advocates (Rawls, Walzer, Nozick, Peikoff, etc.)   However, you can not select the pairing of Kant and Capital Punishment – as that has been covered in detail. However you can add Virtue ethics and or natural law to that write up below. Before embarking on this exercise, review the relevant discussions and previous case studies you’ve written. Rember to use in text citations and end text references.  Take all the words you need to do well / cover the concepts and terms of the thinkers and systems. 
**Explain how the theorist you chose would evaluate one of the following cases we analyzed: Welfare, Healthcare, or Capital Punishment.
