ETHICS BOWL CASE STUDIES

How do we analyze a case study? The first thing to do when analyzing a case study is to identify all the ethically relevant features of the case. These are all the things that make a difference to the question of what should be done (by anybody in the case). As you identify each ethically relevant feature, try to work out what this feature suggests the person should do, forgetting all other features of the case for a moment. This is the ethical “upshot” of that feature.

Ethically relevant features CASE: What does this feature of the case suggest that the person should do? SO WHAT? X should speak up! Identify the ethically relevant feature of the case. WHAT? E.g., somebody will be hurt if X does not speak up

Applying theories to cases The second thing to do when analyzing a case study is to work out what the different moral theories and principles that we have studied will say about the case. Not every theory/principle will apply very well to every case! Choose two different theories and principles, explain which features of the case they will think are ethically relevant, and then explain what they might say should happen and why.

Applying theories to cases THEORY: Which features of the case will they think are ethically relevant? Explain what they might say should be done and why.

Defending a point of view Now comes the hard part – you have to make up your own mind about what the person in the case study should do, and why. Think about how the arguments you have identified relate to one another: Are there any arguments supporting one view that you can show to be bad arguments? Are there any features of the case that seem ethically relevant, but that you can argue actually aren’t important?

RESPONSES TO OBJECTIONS: Your argument RESPONSES TO OBJECTIONS: What are some reasons why you expect people to disagree with your view? Explain why you think these reasons to disagree with your view are not persuasive: YOUR VIEW: Argument 1: Argument 2: Argument 3:
