Part 1

Please answer this question not more than 1 or 2 paragraphs

This week we look at moral theory. The material for this week is very interesting and our discussion should bear this out. As we discuss the material for this week, you should seek to talk about cases using the moral theories we encounter.

Material:

Moral theory is a complex area of inquiry, so this week we will confine our examination to two of the most influential: utilitarianism and Kantianism. The basic difference between these theories is that utilitarianism finds the rightness of acts in the consequences they produce, while Kantianism maintains there is a moral law we must obey even if the consequences are not what we would like.
