9/19/2017

Learning Goals

  • ​Evaluate Libertarianism's main ideas and to what extent you align with the philosophy.
  • Understand the "Veil of Ignorance" and John Rawls' approach to justice as "fairness" and equality.

Starter

Let's take a moment to review the "Veil of Ignorance" concept that John Rawls uses to justify why equality is the most important principle in ensuring a just democratic society!

Think about your own life.  What are your biases and prejudices you would have to be ignorant of in your OWN life in order to make the most fair plan for ensuring all students had an equal chance at getting into college?  
  • FIRST, outline all the biases/prejudices/privileges/lack of privileges you personally hold.
  • NEXT, figure out a plan or some sort of policy that would give all students, regardless of their backgrounds/race/gender/socioeconomic status/access to quality teachers/etc... an equal opportunity to go to college.

Agenda

1. Starter share-out

2. Lecture: Finish the powerpoint slides on John Rawls and begin Deontology

3. Chapter 3 Study Group time! 

4.  Time to read chapters 6 and 5
