Topic/Issues for PowerPoint: Environmental harm, like the pollution
of air and water
Philosophical theory: Deontology
What does the theory tell us about how things operate in the real
world? What is the focus of the theory? That is, what aspects of
everyday life (or what questions) does the theory address?
Does the theory help explain people’s behavior from a political,
economic, religious, or ethical perspective? Try to sort through
everything that does not represent an ethical question, and address
only the ethical issues.
How does the theory simplify complex issues to make them more
understandable? Another way to think about this is to consider the
concepts that make up the theory. Identify the concepts and how they
are related to each other.
Develop one thesis question that applies your philosophical theory to
your environmental issue. You will address this question by
developing an argument that links the theory to the issue (through
your notes and pictures), so make sure you word your question
carefully to accomplish this task. Indicate this thesis question on your
second slide (the one after the title slide).Next, develop an ethical
argument that addresses your question. Use the text and/or other
academic sources to support your position. Build your argument by
writing nine clear sentences. Each sentence should make one
important point about the ethical aspects of the environmental issue
you are analyzing and should be placed on one slide each. Underneath
each slide, you will also add presentation notes. This is written
information that you would normally say or share with an audience
during a presentation, but they do not show up in the presentation.
