1 Ethics: Respond to each scenario with what you think the best course of action might be. What is the right thing to do? Are the two synonymous?

2 Scenarios Your friend asks to copy your work.
Your friend asks to look at your exam while you are taking them. You look at the paper next to you and copy answers. You use Google translate. You cheat on one test because you stayed up late studying for another test (for a subject in which you have more interest). You discuss test material with classmates from other periods in between classes. You plagiarize an essay for English class because you don’t believe your teacher reads your essays anyway. You say you turned something in when you know you didn’t because you know your teacher will believe you, because generally speaking, you’re not a bad kid. You just didn’t have time to do that assignment. You found your siblings old exams and you use them to study.

3 Terminology Meta- ethics From yesterday you should have defined:
Objectivism Relativism Sacred canopy Reason vs emotion Modern ethics Egoism Traditional ethics Consequentialism Ethical norm Altruism Utility Ethics Kant’s Ethics

4 Kant + Duty Ethics The outcome does not determine the worth of an action, but rather the motivations of the person committing the action. Categorical Imperative Always use reason Always tell the truth a) never treat anyone as a means to an end. All people must be treated as ends in and of themselves b) consider every action a standard for universal human behavior
