Make sure to watch this video: Problem of Evil and look at the PPT slides regarding the problem of evil as well as the possible solutions. Case Study: God Imagine a scenario in which you are talking to your friend who is an atheist (someone who does not believe in God). The reason why your friend doesn't believe in God is because God's all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good qualities cannot all be true when there is clearly evil in the world. The traditional conception of a Western God demands all of these three qualities to be essential towards one's belief. However, when you look at your friend, you realize that they are deeply troubled by this problem and are asking you for some possible solution, so that they may believe in God once more. You recognize that your friend desperately wants to believe, so even though you may not believe yourself, you try your hand in trying to solve the problem. Questions: 1) Explain in your own words what is the "problem of evil." 2) Then offer a solution to that problem. You may appeal to your own solution, as long as it makes sense, or you may use one of the several solutions in the textbook/PPT slides. Make sure to explain your chosen solution and provide reasons why it is a preferable one. For your reference, they are: 1) Least of All Evils; 2) An Aesthetic Solution; 3) The Free Will solution; 4) The Afterlife solution; 5) Appeal to Irrational Faith; 6) Denial of one of these three essential qualities.

Instructions Learning Objectives: CO 1: Analyze the major ethical theories in the history of moral philosophy as put forward by philosophers in key ethical texts. CO2: Apply ethical theories to current issues and real-life scenarios. CO 3: Evaluate different frameworks for developing one’s own ethical and moral philosophy. CO 4: Critique the place of reason, emotion, and physical action in moral philosophy. Assignment Instructions Create an 8-10 slide PPT, or some other presentation, that accomplishes the following: Chose some ethical issue that has at least two clear sides you feel is important (banning books, using GMOs, illegal immigration, alternative energy, eating meat, artificial intelligence in school, anything that can be considered a moral matter – if you are unsure, be sure to clear with your instructor). The Britannica ProCon site has a great list of topics, but not all are "moral" issues. 1.Present research on the situation being sure to clearly discuss both sides, as much as possible. If there are no supporters for at least two sides, find a different topic. Just because you feel passionately about a topic does not mean it is appropriate for this assignment. 2.Reiterate the primary theories contained in your moral compass from week 3 and then explain the position on this issue your compass promotes. You do not need to use all of the previously shared theories and feel free to exchange your previous theories for new ones if you feel they better support your position. Just be sure to explain why you changed your theories. (Keep in mind your instructor can easily check what you used in week 3). You do NOT need to provide any moral justification for ANY other position than the one you support. 3.Include a proper citation on the slides or in the notes where the material was used and include a References/Works Cited slide (APA or MLA or other system recognized by your school). For example, say you want to address gender-neutral bathrooms in public buildings. First, present some research from sources promoting that they should exist and from sources promoting they should not. Then reiterate the components of your moral compass as stated in the week three paper. Note, your compass may have evolved and if so, work in the new components. Finally, state your position clearly (they should or should not exist) and how your compass justifies that position. Keep in mind these best practices, please: Proper PPTs have bullets on the slide that are explained in the notes section (see video on how to do this if you do not know how). If you intend to narrate the presentation, be sure to include the transcript in the notes section (see PPT on how to insert audio if you do not know and want to give that a shot). If, for any reason, you are unable to access the notes section, see the attached PPT or contact your instructor. Please use art or other graphics, just be mindful about aesthetic appeal and color schemes. Keep the viewer in mind (teacher). While you might work hard on a 20-minute presentation, few faculty members have the time to watch or listen to it. Just like papers, clear citations must appear on the slide or in the notes to justify listing a resource as a reference.

Final Paper Prompts (1750-2000 words), choose one of the prompts Prompt 1 Pick a (more or less) well-known person and analyze their life and/or actions through two texts we studied. At least one of the texts you use should be from the second half of the semester (starting Gandhi). This person can be real (e.g., politician, artist, celebrity) or fictional (the protagonist of a novel or a film). Possible angles: Rousseau on the “noble savage”, Gandhi and/or Fanon on the right way to resist colonialism, Mill on individuality, Wollstonecraft on liberating women, Lorde on the Erotic, Nietzsche’s will to power, Freud's psychoanalysis, Marx on alienation. These are just options. You can develop them or find others. Prompt 2 In September 2018, India’s supreme court struck down a law prohibiting consensual gay sex (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/06/world/asia/indi...). Discuss this event through two of the texts we studied. At least one of these texts should be from the second half of the semester (starting Gandhi). Possible angels: Rousseau and the Western image of indigenous sexuality, Mill on individual freedom, Said on the orientalist image of the non-Western as sexual, Gandhi on resisting colonialism, Freud on the repression of Eros, Nietzsche on slave morality, Ahmed on resisting Western culture in the non-Western world, Foucault on the origins of gay identity. These are just options. You can develop them or find others. Prompt 3 Is having and expressing sexual and/or gender identity (you may write on either or both) an expression of freedom or a sign of oppression? Discuss this question through two of the texts we studied. At least two of these texts should be from the second half of the semester (starting Gandhi). Possible angels: Foucault on the origins of queer identities, Freud on the repression of Eros, Kristeva on the abject, Nietzsche on will to power and/or slave morality, Marx on alienation from the body/senses under Capitalism, Mill on individuality. These are just options. You can develop them or find others. You can write on sexual or gender identity in general on a more specific identity people claim (e.g., “queer”, “trans”, “nonbinary”, “gay”, “straight”, etc.). Prompt 4 China has been implementing a “social credit system” that rewards or punishes citizens based on their ordinary social behavior as described in this US article (https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/china-so...). Discuss this system through two of the texts we studied. At least one of these texts should be from the second half of the semester (starting Gandhi). Possible angels: Said on orientalism, Mill on individuality and conformity, Lin Zexu’s claims against the West, Marx on oppression under Capitalism, Rousseau on amour-propre, Foucault on knowledge as power, Kristeva on the abject, Freud on how civilization makes us unhappy, Nietzsche on slave morality. These are just options. You can develop them or find others. Prompt 5 In the past few years, enhancing “diversity” has become a chief route for addressing minority concerns in culture, politics, education, and business. Organizations strive to have a more diverse face – be it in their workforce, students, customers, etc. Discuss pros and/or cons of this approach through two of the texts we studied. At least one of these texts should be from the second half of the semester (starting Gandhi). Possible angels: Fanon or Gandhi on resisting colonialism, Said on orientalism, French Revolution texts on civic equality and freedom, Nietzsche on will to power and/or slave morality, Kristeva on the abject, Mill on individuality, Wollstonecraft or Lorde on liberating women and/or Black women. These are just options. You can develop them or find others. You may write on diversity in general or focus on a specific minority. Prompt 6 Recently, especially given the pandemic and the riots in the US Capitol, there are increasing worries about conspiracy theories and their adherents. Discuss this issue through two texts we studied. At least one of these texts should be from the second half of the semester (starting Gandhi). Questions you may explore (but you could rather formulate others): Are conspiracy theories an exercise of will to power and/or a form of slave morality? Do they reflect fear of the abject (Kristeva)? Do they express resentment among the lower classes (Marx, Ahmed)? Do they unleash repressed instincts (Freud)? Resistance to knowledge as power (Foucault)? Prompt 7 Your own topic. If you’re interested in this option, you must email me by December 6 with a paragraph describing it – the question/s you will explore and the sources you’d like to use (must be two sources, one of which from the second half of the semester; starting Gandhi).
