Ethics Homework
Instructions
For this homework propose a scenario where you or someone you know are confronted with a moral dilemma relating to cultural diversity and multiculturalism. It cannot be the same as what was covered in the week one discussion.
Cultural diversity refers to religious, sexual, racial, and other forms of social difference. A moral dilemma is a situation in which one must make a decision between two or more options such that the options involve seemingly ethical and/or unethical conduct. Address the following questions:
1) What was the situation? What did the dilemma involve?
2) What would a subjective moral relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that?
3) What would a cultural relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? Is that approach correct?
4) What did you the person confronting the dilemma decide to do? What moral justification did they give? Is that approach morally correct?
5) Was there an objective moral truth (the objectively right thing to do) in this situation? Why or why not?
Remember, the dilemma should be detailed with description and dialogue. Regard the questions as requirements. This is still an essay. One should not simply provide a list of brief answers to questions. One has to provide an in-depth reflection regarding a difficult ethical situation.

(1) The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
