Deontology

Do not consult or integrate any outside source(s) into your written assignments during the process of brainstorming, drafting, and submitting writing. I want everyone to consult only the textbook and any other source (video or otherwise) to which I have linked in our course site. In essence, I want to see only what YOUR ideas are in relationship to the assigned readings from our textbook. This means do not consult or integrate any internet or print (or whatever) sources into your writing. Since I am enacting this measure, you do not need to include a Works Cited at the end of your writing, as I will know your only source is our book. Do include the page numbers from the textbook within parentheses for any information from the textbook which you integrate into your writing. You should be using some apt, succinct quotes from the readings in the book to exemplify and illustrate your points. Be sure to fully explain any cited information making clear, overt connections to the point you are trying to make before moving on from the quoted material.**The citations should conform to the MLA style guide. Cite each reading as a selection in an anthology (our textbook). Style (organization, presentation, fluency, and development) along with writing skills (grammar and mechanics) work hand-in-hand with content, The focus of this unit is Deontology, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t see competing schools of ethics within Bierce’s short story “A Horseman in the Sky.” Ethics is about dilemmas and choices, often at competition with one another for resolution. Situate this story within a few competing ethical theories. Also, aptly integrate at least two additional sources from the chapter into your submission.Stuff to consider:Duty (institutional, national, familial)Moral SensibilityConsequences (Consequentialism, Utilitarianism)Individual consequencesInstitutional consequencesCategorical ImperativesCompeting InterestsObligationsJingoismAlternatively, with a primary focus on deontology, compare and contrast “Billy Budd” with “A Horseman in the Sky.” Remember to aptly integrate at least two other sources from chapters 2 and/or 5.
