Question

Hands-on Ethics Essay

Students will apply moral theories to write a 4-page essay that answers the question of whether we should help people who are suffering from hunger and poverty in the world.

Demonstrate your mastery of the lessons covered in this course by completing a hands-on ethics essay. Make sure, when discussing your position, to consider weaknesses carefully, as we have made a point to do throughout the course. Should we help others in the world who are suffering from hunger and poverty? Complete this assignment to guide your answer. Directions–Complete your essay by addressing the following:

1. In the first paragraph, briefly describe the problem of hunger and poverty in the world. In the same paragraph, answer the following question: should we help others who are suffering from hunger and poverty? State your answer to the question. This is the introduction for your paper. Note: your answer is the thesis statement for your paper and must take a clear side.
2. In the second paragraph, identify and define the moral theories from Units I and II being used for your argument in at least one, separate body paragraph before your reasons why or premises.
3. In at least three body paragraphs, provide at least three reasons why we should or should not help others suffering in the world. Note: your reasons why should apply the ideas of the moral theories defined in point 2 (i.e. we should help because it benefits the majority (result ethics or consequentialism), we should help because humans deserve help and it is the right thing to do (deontology), we should help because we are a global community (care ethics), etc.)
4. Identify weaknesses in your argument in at least one body paragraph after your premises or reasons why. What are the weaknesses of the moral theory or theories when applied to this topic? Has evidence for both sides been fully considered?
5. In the final paragraph, review the points that support your answer. This is the conclusion for your paper.

Tools for Overcoming “Colonization of the Mind” Through Citizenship Education: A Four-Dimensional Perspective.

Overcoming “Colonization of the Mind” Through Citizenship Education: A Four-Dimensional Perspective.

By:Van der Walt, J. L.; Wolhuter, C. C.; Broer, N. A. In:Journal of Research on Christian Education, Sep-Dec2023Education Full Text (H.W. Wilson)

This article is based on research into the phenomenon referred to as the “colonization of the mind.” It commences with a discussion of four different backgrounds and concomitant experiences regarding this persistent form of colonization: two with reference to the authors of this article, and two with reference to distinguishable categories of Indigenous people who still feel the enduring effects of the colonization of the mind. After theorizing about the “living in two worlds” that seems to be typical of the colonization of the mind, the authors propose a number of biblically justifiable measures that can be implemented by those still feeling themselves suffering from this lingering form of colonization. These measures include the adoption of a reformed ontology, anthropology, ethics, and education. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of an adapted Citizenship Education school program that may contribute to the eradication of the colonization of the mind issue. Show less

Tools for International humanitarian narratives of disasters, crises, and Indigeneity.

International humanitarian narratives of disasters, crises, and Indigeneity.

By:Mosurska, Anuszka; Clark‐Ginsberg, Aaron; Ford, James; +2 moreIn:Disasters, Oct2023Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Reference Center

Narratives are a means of making sense of disasters and crises. The humanitarian sector communicates stories widely, encompassing representations of peoples and events. Such communications have been critiqued for misrepresenting and/or silencing the root causes of disasters and crises, depoliticising them. What has not been researched is how such communications represent disasters and crises in Indigenous settings. This is important because processes such as colonisation are often at the origin but are typically masked in communications. A narrative analysis of humanitarian communications is employed here to identify and characterise narratives in humanitarian communications involving Indigenous Peoples. Narratives differ based upon how the humanitarians who produce them think that disasters and crises should be governed. The paper concludes that humanitarian communications reflect more about the relationship between the international humanitarian community and its audience than reality, and underlines that narratives mask global processes that link audiences of humanitarian communications with Indigenous Peoples.
