I’m working on a philosophy discussion question and need an explanation to help me understand better.
Description
1) Explain your papers structure
a) Thesis Statement
b) Order of Topics discussed
i) The aim of this paper is to explain my own version of the Trolley Problem, the Peanut Butter Shark Problem. First, I will explain Utilitarianism. Second, I will explain the Peanut Butter Shark Problem. Third, I will explain a variation of the Peanut Butter Shark Problem called the Shark Steak problem. Fourth, I will explain how the Peanut Butter Shark Problem illustrates the problem of partiality and intentionality for Utilitarianism. Fifth, I will conclude my paper.
2) Explain Utilitarianism
a) What is it?
i) A level papers will draw and explain with a quote from the text. E.g., Blah Blah Blah (Bentham quoted in Ethics for A Level, page 666)
(1) Identify your quote by using quotation marks
(2) CITE where you got the quote from Blah blah (Mill quoted in Ethics for A Level, page 666)
(3) EXPLAIN what the quote says. Do not let the quote do the talking!
3) Explain your Trolley Problem
a) The Trolley Problem works because it shows so clearly what the consequences of an event will be. Make sure that your scenario is clear. Is there a boat? A Plane? A car?
4) Explain at least one variation on your Trolley Problem
a) Variations on the Trolley Problem are one of the best ways to see moral systems in action. I encourage you to take a peek at the variations posted on Wikipedia to give you some ideas:
i) https://en.wikipedia.org/
b) Variations on the Trolley Problem should connect meaningfully to a point you want to make about Utilitarianism. So, whatever variation you use here, it should show up below when you discuss the relationship of your example to Deontology and Utilitarianism.
i) For example, Utilitarianism suffers from an Partiality objection. How might you work that into your example? We would be more partial to others naturally. Utilitarianism does not account for that. So, perhaps put someone from whom one would have a natural paritality, family members etc.!
5) Explain how your Trolley Problem relates to: Utilitarianism.
a) What happens to a Utilitarian in your Trolley Problem?
b) There should be at least two criticisms of Utilitarianism discussed in your paper.
6) What would you do?
a) Explain what your own thoughts are on the dilemma. What would you do?
7) Conclude your paper
a) Generate a paragraph that looks remarkably like your first roadmap paragraph but it is in the past tense.
i) E.g., The aim of this paper was to explain my own version of the Trolley Problem, the Peanut Butter Shark Problem. First, I explained Utilitarianism. Second, I explained the Peanut Butter Shark Problem. Third, I explained a variation of the Peanut Butter Shark Problem called the Shark Steak problem.
