Topic: Compare and contrast metaethical theories Thread: Now that you have learned about competing ethical theories, write a 500-600 word thread that compares and contrasts a Christian ethical theory with a competing ethical theory. Since we have already looked at ethical relativism in DB 1, you should choose from any theory in the Moral Reasoning textbook except ethical relativism. That means you can choose from Virtue Ethics, Natural Law, Ethical Egoism, Utilitarianism, Duty Ethics, Social Contract Theory, and Moral Realism (or any combination of these) in contrast to a Christian ethical theory such as Divine Command, Divine Nature, or Christian Revelational Ethics (or a combination of these). How do these each system define “the good?” How does each claim to know “the good?” What, if anything, do these systems have in common? What, if anything, are their key differences? Which theory do you think is the stronger ethical theory? Defend your answer. This final question should take up the majority of your thread. Be sure to carefully define your terms. You are encouraged to support your position with rational arguments, fitting examples, and expert sources. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format and will not count towards the total word count. You will be penalized for falling short or exceeding the word count. This is a university-level writing assignment and therefore it must be carefully proofread, free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Do not use slang, emoticons, or abbreviations (as if you are texting or sending an email to a friend).

(Thesis should refer to the attempted purpose of the commercial). 2. Body Par. 1- Describe the ad-what is happening? What is being sold? Who is involved? Where and when does it take place? 3. Body Par. 2 & 3- How is the product advertised? What strategies are used to sway the consumer to buy the product? (Appeals? Visuals? Music? Other strategies mentioned in the powerpoint and videos?) How effective are these strategies? 4. Body Par. 4-Mention any stereotypes that are implied in your commercial and the effect these might have on the audience. If no stereotypes are present, comment on how well the director created a politically correct commercial, and substantiate your claim with evidence from the commercial. 5. What information does the ad reveal about the target culture? (Cultural indicators) 6. Conclusion- To what extent are the cultural indicators true in your opinion? To what extent has the director achieved her purpose with the commercial?  Tips for essay writing:  1. Do NOT use “I” or “in my opinion” in academic writing- write in the 3rd person only.

Variety in sentence type and length (syntax)-N2SSWTSW (No 2 sentences start with the same word) 5. Variety of word choice (diction)- no major words are repeated, no DEAD WORDS (thing, good, bad, nice, etc) 6. Vague pronouns are not used (it”, “this”, “that”, etc.). Instead, use a synonym for the noun that the pronoun refers to 7. No outside research is required. However, if you do include some, you MUST CITE your source using parenthetical citation- You should be using https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/  for the MLA way to cite something parenthetically.  8.

In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave we are introduced to a form of humanity shackled in chains, in a form of perceptual bondage. In The Matrix by the Wachowski sisters we are introduced to a dark future where humanity is imprisoned physically and perceptually by a form of manipulative Artificial Intelligence. And in our daily lives we also experience a limiting of our social perspective regarding Covid-19. If Neo could rescue humanity from Plato’s cave, what would that rescue look like today in a world where people are constantly battling the influence of misinformation while trying to stay safe? Are there any modern figures in reality that have acted as a Neo/Morpheus or a Plato, in the current age of coronavirus, liberating humanity from their incorrect thinking? If we listen to these modern truth-tellers, how will our lives be made better?  MLA format 3 outside sources (1 source from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave) and the other 2 from outside. 3 pages
