Ethical Frameworks and Moral Reasoning
伦理框架与道德推理
Description
Introduce the three main ethical frameworks: consequentialism (judge actions by outcomes and overall welfare), deontology (judge actions by adherence to rules and duties regardless of consequences), and virtue ethics (judge actions by the character they reflect); apply each framework to real-world moral dilemmas: climate responsibility, AI ethics, civil disobedience, wealth inequality, healthcare rationing; understand the strengths and limitations of each framework; develop the capacity for careful moral reasoning — the ability to think through ethical questions systematically rather than relying only on intuition or group opinion
Assessment Prompt
Can your child take a real ethical dilemma — like whether it's ever right to break a rule to help someone — and explain how a consequentialist, a deontologist, and someone focused on virtue ethics would each think about it differently, and which approach they find most persuasive?
