• SOC 120 Week 3 DQ 1 Death Penalty

• SOC 120 Week 3 DQ 2 Future Generations and
  Development

• Death Penalty. Advocates of the death penalty
  recognize that no system is perfect and that

  (1) of the questions below. Be sure to explain
  your answer.
•  
• a. Assume that by burning coal extensively, the

• SOC 120 Week 3 Rough Draft of Final Paper on
  Ethics Theory

• SOC 120 Week 4 DQ 1 Presumption of Innocence

• Rough Draft of Final Paper on Ethics Theory and
  Practices. In this course, we look at classical
  ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontology,
  and virtue ethics. We also look at the different
  kinds of perspectives on ethical issues
  introduced by relativism, ethical egoism, and
  emotivism.

• Presumption of Innocence. In discussions about
  personal privacy and government surveillance, one
  sometimes hears "If you're not doing anything
  wrong, you don't have anything to worry about."
  What is your reaction to this claim? Give two
  examples of some things that may not be "wrong"
  but you do not necessarily want to be public
  knowledge.

• SOC 120 Week 4 DQ 2 Workplace Surveillance

• SOC 120 Week 5 DQ 1 Victimless Crimes

• Workplace Surveillance. Imagine your boss has
  decided that all phone calls, e-mails, and other
  communications will be recorded and monitored.
  What assumptions is the boss making about the
  employees? Is such monitoring justified morally?
  Is it a good idea as a management tool?

• Victimless Crime. Can the government require
  you to a wear seat belt while driving? What is
  the argument that it can, and what is the
  argument that it cannot? How would such seat belt
  laws differ from the requirement that infants in
  cars be in car seats?

• SOC 120 Week 5 DQ 2 Ethical Progress

• SOC 120 Week 5 Final Paper

• Ethical Progress. The outlawing of slavery and
  extending voting rights to women seem to indicate
  that ethics can have beneficial results. Give an
  example from the past that indicates a similar
  result or a current social policy that might be
  regarded as wrong, which therefore needs to be
  changed.

• In this course, we look at classical ethical
  theories of utilitarianism, deontology, and
  virtue ethics. We also look at the different
  kinds of perspectives on ethical issues
  introduced by relativism, ethical egoism, and
  emotivism.
