Today's Learning Goals
  • Evaluate the pros and cons of John Rawl's philosophy called Justice as Fairness
  • Contrast his philosophy to communism and the egalitarian nightmare of "Harrison Bergeron" 

STARTER #28
Review the powerpoint slides #13-26 (definitions of Welfare, Liberty and Equality/Fairness through the slides on Rawls' Justice as Fairness explained)

To help you retain this information, write a "reaction" to the ideas we've studied so far in moral philosophy-- some things to consider for your reaction:
  • Which philosophy or "approaches" do you find yourself agreeing with the most? Why?
  • Pick a moral dilemma or current political issue and solve it from the perspective of a Utilitarian (either Bentham or J.S. Mills), a Libertarian or John Rawls.
  • What questions do you still have about the content we've covered so far?
  • Draw an image that captures these two ideas from Utilitarianism: 1. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few  2. The ends (outcomes) justify the means (methods/actions to achieve the outcome)
