Assignment Description
Primary Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 200-250 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions with your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
This week, you will explore further how sometimes we have to make decisions knowing that there are downsides to every option. For instance, when Lena decided to pursue her dream of going to college, she knew that her whole family would have to make sacrifices so that she could achieve her dream.
We will all face ethical dilemmas (sometimes called moral dilemmas) at different times in our lives. Making these choices can really impact not just our lives but the lives of those around us. Becoming aware that the decision you face is an ethical dilemma and learning how to consider a problem from all sides can help us to make stronger decisions.
Choose one of the videos below that illustrates an ethical dilemma, and then answer the questions below:
The Driverless Car Dilemma
The Justice Dilemma
The Lifeboat Dilemma
The Trolley Dilemma
Discuss the dilemma faced in your chosen video.
Considering critical thinking and ethical decision making models learned in PHIL101, share what decision you would make in your chosen situation along with your reasons why.
