Hello Class,
Welcome to week 3!
This week we will be discussing Virtue Ethics, Egoism, & Social Contract Theory.
I have two great supplementary resources that you may read through to help your understanding:
https://www.thehindu.com/thread/reflections/moral-dilemmas-in-the-time-of-the-pandemic/article31355118.ece
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00607/full
Assignments for this module include:
1. Discussion 300 WORDS.
2. Journal Entry 500 WORDS.
Instructions:
● create an entry in your journal that reflects on your reading and understanding from each week. ● The aim of the journal entries is to prove understanding, digestion and reflection related to the course content. Requirements: ● Your journal entries cannot include the same content as your discussion responses. ● Each journal entry must contain at least 500 words. And discussion will contain 300 words.
Main Discussion posts should include one to three “discussion questions” designed to generate dialogue and to provoke critique, analysis, and reflection on the specific themes of the readings.
This bullet point is more of a suggestion, however, what I am really looking for is your ability to craft an engaging discussion post, and if you are able to include some questions that your fellow classmates can answer to help facilitate a healthy discussion, you should always aim to do so.
Going forward as well, you should always aim to include in-text citations in your posts, either citing from your text, or outside sources that will help strengthen your ideas. If you do include citations, please also include properly formatting APA references at the bottom of your post. A helpful guide to utilize while you implement APA citations and references can be found here: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_basic_rules.html

The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here. This resource, revised according to the 7 th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers.
