Ethics and Laws

DO NOW:Monday What are ethics? 2. What makes it difficult to create laws on ethical issues? Take out your reading and guided questions from Friday.

Ethics 0-5 Ethics? a system of moral principles Defining what is right or wrong

Lawmakers and ethics continued Lawmakers have to decide on which laws to create and enforce using ethical guidelines They attempt to protect the civil liberties and freedoms that their societies find the most important. CFU: Think/Write/Share Does everyone have the same idea of what is right and wrong? For example do you think that abortion is okay? Explain your answer.

Roe v. Wade Roe v. Wade:1973- Supreme Court ruled that women do have the right to choose an abortion during the first three months of pregnancy. Justices had to decide if abortion was ethical To do this, they had to decide which civil and human rights were most important to protect.  This issue still divides America today. 1 min.: Write down 3 reasons women would want the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion.

Review Questions from Friday 1. Summarize what states are or are not allowed to prohibit regarding abortion by trimester: 1 st trimester: 2 nd trimester: 3 rd trimester: 2. Before Roe brought the lawsuit, what were most states’ laws regarding abortion? 3. Why did Roe want to change this? 4. Why did the US Supreme Court say that the Texas law prohibiting abortion was unconstitutional? What constitutional right did it violate? 5. What are the 3 justifications that the court found for banning abortions? *Circle the one justification above that the court said was the only reasonable enough to protect in modern times. 6. At what point in the pregnancy did the Supreme Court say states can make abortion illegal? 7. Why did they say abortions are illegal at this point? (What right are they protecting? Is this the right of the baby or the mother?)

ROE v. WADE article reading instructions. Thought Wheel  In the middle of the thought wheel write “Roe v. Wade” Come up with at least 2 ideas for each wedge of the thought wheel after reading the article.

New Legislation In 1919, Congress passed the 18 th Amendment  Made the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages strictly illegal  Vetoed by President Wilson, but overturned by Congress; goes into effect in 1920 The Volstead Act- established the Prohibition Bureau in 1919  Was faced with the task of patrolling 18,700 miles of coastline and island borders for smugglers  Tracked down illegal stills, monitoring highways for illegal transportation of alcohol and monitored companies that used alcohol for reasons other than beverage manufacturing  Consisted of 1,500 poorly paid federal agents

Anti-Alcohol Movement gains Strength Groups such as the Women’s Christian Temperance Movement, the Anti-Saloon League and other temperance groups argued that alcohol led to all of the following:  Corruption in society  Crime  Wife and Child abuse  Accidents on the job  Urban slums (poverty in the cities) Evaluate Prohibition: Do you think that making alcohol completely illegal stopped these problems? Justify your response.

Close Reading: Prohibition Read and annotate the text  Number paragraphs  Circle key terms – No more than 5 per chunk  Chunk as you go to group paragraphs of similar content  Left column is a one sentence summary per chunk  Right column is a question per chunk (could be confusion or higher-level)

Homework: Finish Close Reading on Prohibition Thought Wheel on Prohibition

Warm up: Dec What do you think the purpose of rules and laws are? 2. What questions do you have about laws? 3. What interpretations and inferences (conclusions, solutions) can you make about the legal system? 4. What are the implications and consequences of following the law? Of not following the law?  5. Why might your answers be different from someone else’s?

Who determines what acceptable behavior in society is? How and why do people decide to either conform or defy society’s legal expectations? What are the ethical implications and consequences of formulating and creating laws? What are the ethical implications and consequences of law enforcement and punishments? Do all cultures view law and crime the same way or does egocentrism, sociocentrism, and frames of reference create different perspectives on legality and punishment. How can media influence our perspective on law and crime? Can law ever be truly objective and does it have to be?
