Tuesday, 9/27: Presidential Debate and Deontology!

Starter 14
Take a few minutes to skim back through the required reading for today (Ch. 5, pages 103-124). Based on last night's reading on Deontology what questions do you have?  

Agenda
1. Deontology lecture from yours truly, Ashley.

2. Ashley will handout honors essay guidelines and say a little about why we are watching last night's  Presidential Debate:

• Well, for one, it's a Presidential Debate. 'Nuff said.  However, my rationale for having you guys watch it in the context of the Morality and Justice of Politics project is for you to get a sense of the hot topic issues of this election, which may influence what political issue you choose for your final project.  Also, it is a chance to hear democratic and republican ideology and evaluate to what extent these candidates use the moral philosophies we've studied AND if so, which philosophies do they seem to align with the most?  
• As we watch, try to answer the question: WHO WON THE DEBATE?  And think about how are you forming your opinion?
• Honors: You will have to write an evaluative essay on this debate to assess which candidate you think "WON" the debate.  I would recommend taking notes during the debate. Honors Evaluative Essay Guidelines
