• Introduction
  The introduction should clearly state the ethical question under      consideration, and define the essential issues. You may build upon the      question and introduction you provided in the Week One Assignment; or you      may choose a different question, but it must be based off the list of      acceptable topics. Your introduction should include a brief remark about      the kind of theory you will be using to approach this question. The last      sentence of the introduction should briefly summarize the or position on      the issue you think is best supported by this theory and succinctly state      what the objection will be. Bear in mind that your essay will not be      concerned with your own position on this issue, but what someone reasoning      along the lines of the chosen theory would conclude; this may or may not      be the position you took in the Week One Assignment.
• Body Paragraphs
  Each paragraph in the body should start with a topic sentence that clearly      identifies the main idea of the paragraph.
  • Theory explanation
    Explain the core principles or features of the deontological or       utilitarian theory and the general account of moral reasoning it       provides.
    You must quote from at least one required resource other than your       textbook that defends or represents that theory. Refer to the list of       acceptable resources.
  • Application
    Demonstrate how the principles or features of the deontological or       utilitarian theory apply to the question under consideration and identify       the specific conclusion that results from applying the reasoning       characteristic of that kind of approach.
    Your application should clearly show how the conclusion follows from the       main principles and features of the theory as addressed in the previous       paragraph. Please see the associated guidance for help in fulfilling this       requirement.
  • Objection
    Raise a relevant objection to the argument expressed in your application.       An objection articulates a plausible reason why someone might find the       argument problematic. This can be a false or unsupported claim or       assumption, fallacious reasoning, a deep concern about what the       conclusion involves, a demonstration of how the argument supports other       conclusions that are unacceptable, etc. You should aim to explain this       objection as objectively as possible, (i.e., in a way that would be       acceptable to someone who disagrees with the argument from the previous       paragraph).
    Note that this does not necessarily mean that the objection succeeds, or       that the conclusion the theory supports is wrong. It may be an obstacle       that any adequate defense of the conclusion would have to overcome, and       it may be the case that the theory has the resources to overcome that       obstacle. Your task here is simply to raise the objection or present the       “obstacle.”

• Conclusion
  The conclusion should very briefly summarize the main points of your      essay.

Resource Requirements

• You must use at least two resources to support your      claims.
• At least one of the resources should be one of the      Required or Recommended Resources that represent the theory you have      chosen, and must be drawn from the list of acceptable resources available      in your online classroom.
• The other source should pertain to the particular issue      you are writing about and should be drawn from the required or recommended      readings in the course, or be a scholarly source found in the Ashford      Unversity Library.
• You are encouraged to use additional resources, so long      as at least two conform to the requirements above.
• The textbook does not count toward satisfying the      resources requirement.
• To count toward satisfying the requirement, resources      must be cited within the body of your paper and on the reference page and      formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing      Center.
• If you are unsure about whether a resource fulfills the      requirement, or need assistance in finding resources, please contact your      instructor
