Topic: Is it ever moral to break a promise? A rational analysis and conclusion.
Thread: The Reading & Study materials this module/week discuss the complex issue of poverty, and the moral imperative of promise-keeping is mentioned several times. After reviewing the Reading & Study materials, compose a 500-600 word argument that is objective, carefully-constructed, and free of emotion (and hence it should not contain any exclamation points) in support of your opinion on each of the following questions.
1. Why is promise-keeping morally important?
2. Is it ever morally permissible to break a promise?
3. If you answer "yes" to #2, then what are the conditions that render promise-breaking morally acceptable?
4. If you answer "no" to #2, then explain why you believe it is never permissible. How would you handle difficult scenarios wherein someone has made a promise the keeping of which would have significant undesirable consequences?
5. Is it ever morally obligatory to break a promise?
6. If you answer "yes" to #5, what are the conditions that render promise-breaking morally obligatory?
