  • Classical ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics: Gay marriage

    $40.00

    In this course, we look at classical ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. We also look at the different kinds of perspectives on ethical issues introduced by relativism, ethical egoism, and emotivism.

    For this paper, you will pick an ethical issue to discuss, but one that is not a specific topic addressed in our text (thus, gun control or product liability would not be possible choices). Some examples are given below, but it is recommended that you choose to write on a topic you have already encountered or you have thought about previously. (One way of thinking about this is to think of an ethical issue that either worries you or enrages you.)

    Identify, specifically, the ethical issue and the ethical problems it presents. Drawing on various sources, explain how one of the classical theories (utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics) would resolve the problem. Then, contrast this response with the perspective brought to the issue by relativism, emotivism, or ethical egoism. Finally, state which of these views is closer to your own, supporting your response with a clearly-presented and well-supported argument. The more specific you can be the better, and feel free to include examples that will strengthen your account.

    •Physician Assisted Suicide
    •Corporate Contributions to Political Campaigns
    •Ethical Treatment of Prisoners
    •The Media and Its Responsibilities
    •Gay Marriage

  • HW1: FIELD OBSERVATION ASSIGNMENT PART I (SOCIOLOGY 213)

    $15.00

    SOCIOLOGY 213
    SOCIETY, INTERACTION, AND THE INDIVIDUAL

    HW1: FIELD OBSERVATION ASSIGNMENT PART I (100 points):

    PURPOSE: The purpose of this two-step exercise (HW1 due in Week 3 and HW2 due in Week 5) is for you to conduct inductive and deductive research using qualitative methods.

    Note: it is important that you conduct the observations for HW1 and HW2 as two distinct events during this class; ‘recalling’ past observations is not the same as purposefully observing your surroundings from a sociological perspective, and applying two different types of reasoning to one observation will not be ‘truthful’ or successful.

    GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

    The purpose of this exercise if for you to observe ONE social setting to begin to detect patterns in human behavior – observance of norms and potentially behaviors that deviate from the norm.

    For HW1: Without any prep work, you will need to go to ONE public place and observe the people for 1 hour.  Note people’s behavior, their demeanor, their reactions/interactions to/with each other.

    HW1-FIELD OBSERVATION I ASSIGNMENT (INDUCTIVE RESEARCH) INSTRUCTIONS:

    For HW1: Without any prep work, you will need to go to ONE public place and observe the people for 1 hour in a particular social setting.  Note people’s behavior, their demeanor, their reactions/interactions to/with each other.
    Here are the steps:

    1)    Choose the social setting in which will be conducting non-participant observation. This should be a public place such as a park, mall, restaurant, church, coffee shop, etc.

    2)    For your inductive approach, you will simply choose a time and location  where you are going to conduct your observations

    3)    Go to the specified location and proceed with your observations.  You must be a keen social observer; a ‘peeping Tom’ in the sociological sense.  Take handwritten (recommended) and/or mental notes of:

    -details about your chosen location (time of day, lighting, furniture, plants, sounds, temperature, smell, vibe/energy, etc)
    -the people around you, not only their behavior but general information about their sociodemographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender, SES, etc);
    -your thoughts and feelings while making observations.

    4)    When you have returned from you observation, type up your notes.  Review your notes for patterns in behavior, socio-demographic characteristics, etc.

    5)    Write-up your observations using ‘thick description’ of the location (i.e. building you were in (what is the architecture like), descriptions of people there (in terms of socio-demographic characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status), sounds, smells, temperature, time of day and week, etc);

    6)    Discuss trends and patterns of behavior that you noticed in your observation. What is a possible sociological/theoretical explanation for the trends you observed? Analyze your observations using a minimum of 4 sociological and one theory from the textbook.

  • Accommodation, Freedom of Religion, Distinction between Belief and Conduct, Minimal Impairment of Religion

    $30.00

    A case comment is an extended commentary on a particular court case. The purpose of a case comment is to give a writer the opportunity to assess not only how a specific case was disposed of in court, but also to survey the development of that area of the law represented by the selected case and respond critically to the decision made by the court. A case comment should therefore be regarded as a type of interpretative essay which focuses on a particular case, but which is not limited to a simple exposition of its details.
    A successful case comment combines description and analysis. The case itself needs to be described succinctly. At the same time the judgment must be analyzed in a critical manner that displays:
    – Some sense of the state of the law regarding the issue in question (i.e.: previous case decisions pertaining to religious freedom or “precedents”)
    – A commentary on the potential future implications of this decision on both Canadian law and Canadian society, including how it may have influenced particular decisions since this decision (if the case you have chosen was decided some time ago)
    – Your own assessment as to whether or not the court was correct in its decision and why.
    Two levels to this: a) Was it a good legal decision? (i.e. was decision consistent with Charter as you understand it?) AND b) Was the decision good for society in general/ was it “just”?

    THE STRUCTURE OF THE PAPER:

    Introduction: Set out the context for the discussion by establishing why a specific case has been selected for commentary. Why is the case important? What is the controversy? What exactly will be focused on in the commentary and what is your argument?

    The Decision:
    – What are the central issues raised by the case? Explain the conflict.
    – What previous court decisions speak to this issue?
    – What was the court’s decision? Summarize the reasoning provided for the decision. Summarize the dissenting opinion of the minority (if provided)

    Critical Analysis:
    – How did this decision relate to previous decisions pertaining to the issue of religious freedom? Has the court affirmed or departed from key precedents? Have court decisions since departed from the precedent set in this case (if applicable)?
    – What are the wider legal AND social implications of this decision?
    – Do you agree with the court’s decision? Why or why not?
