1. The Ethical Theory for the Argument : Utilitarianism

• ARGUMENT should be at least1 page, longer is much better, must follow ARGUMENT OUTLINE for the theory your team chose. (Full sentences & paragraphs, no bullets). Follow that outline exactly. Also, never begin the ARGUMENT with a summary of the facts of the case. Notice please, the paragraphs directly before the argument are summary of the facts of the case. Summarizing again would be redundant. You have to see your Contribution to the paper as an integrated part of the whole paper. Also, never say “I believe”, etc. This is a team paper, a team voice, not your individual view.

• Instruction for the case to use UTILITARIANISM—- Promotes consequences that bring the greatest benefit AND the least harm overall.

Utilitarianism is a consequentialist theory. Consequentialism examines the ethical results of an action, not the ethical mindset that caused the action. Utilitarianism always discusses consequences of actions.

More Instructions are in the document. Also, you must FOLLOW THE ARGUMENT OUTLINE to write your argument.
