Questions And Topics We Can Help You To Answer

Choose either utilitarian or deontological ethical theory to apply to the ethical question.

Explain the core principles of that theory.

•Demonstrate how the principles of the theory support a certain position on that question.

•Articulate a relevant objection to the theory on the basis of that argument.

Write a five paragraph essay that conforms to the requirements below.

Introduction
The introduction should be one paragraph, no more than 120 words. This should clearly delimit the ethical problem or question under consideration, and define the essential issues.  The last sentence of the introduction should briefly summarize the conclusion or position on this issue that you think is best supported by this theory, and succinctly state what the objection will be.

Body Paragraphs
Each paragraph in the body should start with a topic sentence that clearly identifies the main idea of the paragraph. Each paragraph should have at least four sentences.

A. Theory explanation:
This should be approximately 150 to 200 words explaining the core principles or features of the deontological or utilitarian theory and the general account of moral behavior it provides. 

B. Application:
This should be approximately 150 to 200 words, and should address how the principles or features of the deontological or utilitarian theory apply to the problem or question under consideration and identify the specific moral conclusion that results from that application. ◾Your application should clearly show how the conclusion follows from the main tenets of the theory as addressed in the previous paragraph.

C. Objection:
This should be approximately 150 to 200 words raising a relevant objection to the argument expressed in part "b." A relevant objection is one that exposes a weakness in the theory as it applies to your problem, and so you should explain how it brings out this weakness.

Conclusion
The conclusion should be one paragraph, no more than 150 words. The conclusion should very briefly summarize the main points of your essay and must contain a paraphrased restatement of your thesis.
