 Describe your “Best Plan” choosing principals from these moral theories.   This plan should include a set of moral principals you plan to follow in pursuing your life and your career.  Part of this plan will be identifying the type of moral decisions you will be faced with and which part of these theories you will use in making moral and ethical decisions in each of the following circumstances:

Describe decisions you will make that affect people you may never meet.  You may be voting on a bond issue that will improve the local high school.  You might be deciding how to allocate funds for medical research or how much federal aid to give to developing countries.  What moral principals described in the theories above would be most useful in these circumstances?

There are other moral decisions you will make in interacting with people you know casually, such as work associates, people you meet on a bus or in a grocery store.  You may come across someone who is lost and needs help; you may be the first to arrive at the scene of an accident. What principals from the above theories will be the most useful in guiding moral or ethical decisions that might arise in dealing with this group of casual relationships?

There will be decisions you will make regarding family and friends.  You will have to decide how to be a good parent, a good friend, or a good son or daughter for an ageing parent.  Describe which principals set forth in the theories above would be most helpful in dealing with loved ones.
