Format: Double-spaced, one-inch margins, professional 12-point font. You may use the style-sheet specific to your academic discipline, though I prefer footnoting to in-text parenthetical citation. You should include page numbers directing your reader to the precise location whence you have drawn your ideas. Remember that consultation of outside resources is prohibited. Use only the assigned texts and class discussions as your source material.
No other resources are to be used for this assignment. Penalties for doing so will be an automatic failing grade for the paper.
PROMPT-
Please compose a paper of 3 pages (minimum) that addresses the following:
An Egoist, an Ethical Relativist, an Absolutist, and a Situationalist1 walk into a bar, each one looking for an evening where a lively exchange of ideas will settle the question, “How are we to shape the best society, given human nature, that will enhance and encourage the best parts of humankind while providing checks and regulations on the worst parts?” Give an account of how that conversation might go, being sure to explain what each position entails and how it differs from the other three viewpoints. Ultimately, you should bring the reflection to a close by discussing your own viewpoint and how/if it has changed through the course of this exercise.
