6-2: Elements of the Social Contract Forum 250 words or more, writing homework help

/in /by

After
viewing the video, NBC: Unsafe Dams, or the documentary, “The Crumbling
of America,”  or reading Ignatieff’s, “The Broken Contract,” determine
what contract is being broken and by whom. How would you propose to get
this social contract back on track? Use support from the text and
resources assigned this week.

Note: In this discussion forum, you will not be able to see the posts of other students until you have made a post of your own.

In each discussion forum, the object is to increase understanding of many different ethical views. Keep in mind the Principle of Charity.
We have a responsibility to be open to new ideas about ethics here,
just as you each have a responsibility to be open to your patients’
views. This openness includes the new theories introduced each week and
the participants’ views expressed in the forum. Seek to understand a
view or concept before criticizing it. If your understanding is
incomplete, ask respectful questions targeted at the ideas, and not the
person expressing them. Answer questions honestly and with respect.  We
also have a responsibility to express our own views in such a way that
invites discussion.  Avoid stereotypes and labelling groups or people,
discussing ideas respectfully without use of irrelevant information
about the arguer.  Avoidance of the ad hominem fallacy is crucial to
ethical discussion.  This does not mean that disagreement is off limits!
Disagreements are best made with support and respectful discourse and
questioning. Going back to your own Initial Post (IP) and addressing
questions is a great way to show respect for others who have asked
questions in their Response post (RP) to your IP. 

Three posts are required each week.

  • Create your Initial Post (IP) to your assigned question, using the following as the post subject: YourLastName IP QUESTION 1 (or QUESTION 2, as appropriate).
  • Incorporate at least one piece of support from this week’s reading assignment(s), cited and referenced Using APA formatting.
  • Reference your sources at the bottom of your post.
  • This post must be 250-350 words. Neither the quotation, nor references count toward the word count.
