LBSU 304 Week 7 Ethics Agenda

5:30-5:45	Week 7 Welcome, DB for Wk 6, Writing task # 6 comments, questions or concerns
5:45-6:45	Activity 1: Crime and Punishment Trailer-2 mins Crime and Punishment Book Review In Dostoyevsky's novel Crime and Punishment the main character plots and carries out the murder of an old woman who has a considerable amount of money in her apartment. After killing her, he steals the money. He argues that: ·       She is a malicious old woman, petty, cantankerous and scheming, useless to herself and to society (which happens to be true), and her life causes no happiness to herself or to others; and ·       Her money, if found after her death, would only fall into the hands of chiselers (scammers, swindlers) anyway, whereas he would use it for his education (no doubt at Brandman University). Putting aside for a moment the small detail that the murder is a crime, students should debate: Is this action justified in some way? Yes or no and why? Assign Positions: yes/no T-Chart Debate/Discussion

7:00-7:10	Directions for Activity 2 Ethics Participation Write It is very likely that while you read some of the selections for this week or watch the video clips you will remember a situation in which you, or someone you know, were faced with (directly or indirectly) an ethical dilemma. This could include a workplace situation, or an issue at your house of worship, or even discovering a secret about one of your neighbors. Try to determine what ethical dilemmas are, and discuss what ethics is, how it works, etc. Tell your story by answering the following questions: ·       Describe the scenario/problem/dilemma ·       Were cultural differences involved? ·       Describe how things ended; was the dilemma resolved, unresolved, or worsened by subsequent situations? ·       In your opinion, how could things have been handled more ethically?
