Argue an answer to the following question: what ideas are needed to do moral analysis? In your paper, quote the works that we have read by Rawls and two other works that we read this semester.
ARISTOTLE
(1) According to Aristotle, while people may disagree about to how to achieve it,
everyone ultimately desires the same “End” or goal, which for Aristotle is
“Happiness.” Why does he refer to it as an “Activity” that only “Man” can
experience or appreciate? Why does he say neither animals nor children are
“Happy” in his view? Be specific? How does Aristotle define “Happiness?
(2) How does Aristotle distinguish between “Intrinsic” Vs. “Extrinsic” values? Give
examples of each. Why does he identify “Happiness” as “Intrinsically” valuable?
What makes something “Intrinsically” valuable “In it-self” or worthwhile for its own
sake compared to something being “Extrinsically” Valuable or worthwhile?
Carefully explain. Consider class discussion about the “Car” in Ferris B Day Off.
Why do most of us view our cars as “Extrinsically” valuable” not “Intrinsically?”
Richard Tarnas asserts that Greek philosophy was, “in the view of many early Christian theologians, a divinely prearranged matrix for the rational explication of the Christian faith” . Notwithstanding, “faith was the primary means, and reason a distant second, for comprehending the deeper meaning of things” .
With these concepts in mind, discuss what the Christian response to Platonism, as found, for example and most notably, in the thought of Augustine.

Formatting
Format your essay following American Psychological Association style using 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Set your paragraph line spacing to 2.0, double-spacing. Use 1 inch margins. Include a header with a shortened title in ALL CAPS on the left and the page number on the right. In-text citations and the reference page must be in APA style. On this page list websites, journals, and all other references used in preparing the submission. Also include a cover page and in-text citations. For assistance with this project and APA in-text citations and references, please see the Biology page in the Penn Foster Virtual Library.
For that same reason, you are encouraged to limit your quotations. It is fine to quote from the reading . But a quotation tells me what someone said. It does not explain why they said it, or what they meant by it. If you quote, make sure you explain the meaning behind what was quoted. Again, “Why” is more important than “What.” I’m the “Why Guy.”
1) In the first paragraph, you should clearly explain how we can think of Daoism as a philosophy of nature. What is it about Daoism that would encourage us to understand this religion as a way of thinking about the natural world? What is important about the fact that Daoism is based on such a foundation?
2) In the second paragraph, you should clearly explain how we can view Daoism as a religion. What aspects of this “philosophy” are particularly religious in nature? What are the religious foundations of Daoism, and what are the basic teachings that build upon that foundation?
3) In the third paragraph, you will explain how Daoism might be thought of as a system of ritual practices. This is related to it being a religion—but different. Removing the specifically “religious” aspects, how might someone practice the ritual of Daoism, separate from its religious implications?
Read attached files and write substantive responses to each of the following questions. Answers should be clear and detailed and fully answer all parts of the questions. Responses to each question will generally each be at least a paragraph or two .
Explain Psychological Egoism and Ethical Egoism, and how they differ, and critically evaluate both. If Psychological Egoism is true, would that provide a good reason to believe that Ethical Egoism is true? Why or why not?
Explain and critically discuss social contract theory, and its connection with egoism. Do you think we are obligated to obey the rules of society that we participate in? Or are there ever occasions in which it is okay or right to “break” the social contract? Support your answer with reasons.
Explain and critically evaluate John Rawls’ version of social contract theory, including discussion of his “Veil of Ignorance” thought experiment. Can his idea of a hypothetical social contract provide us with fair/just rules for society? Why or why not?
What does Dr. King say we should do in response an unjust social contract ? How does he respond to those who argue we should be patient and wait for the system to rectify unjust oppression? Do you agree or disagree with his arguments, and why?
Watch the video. It is a bit lengthy, but you will need to reference it for your answers below. You can watch some, work on an answer, then come back to it. Create a document in Word, or Google Doc, paste these questions into the document, then write your responses. Upload your document as a .doc or .pdf in the submission text. Do not just paste your submission into the textbox.
Jung’s Nine Life Lessons:
1. Look inside yourself first: When you look into yourself, what do you expect to find? Do you draw strength from an intuition, a spirit, God, etc? How wold looking inside of yourself help you live a more full life?
2. Integrate your contraries: Besides your inner gender contraries, what other conflicting ideas are within you that you need to integrate? How would integrating contrarites help you life a more full life?
3. Analyze your dreams. Isn’t this very similar to looking inside of yourself? According to Jung, dreams reveals our deepest and truest thoughts. Do you remember you dreams? Do you discuss them? If your interpretation of your dream is wrong, wouldn’t this change your life course? Do you think dreams should be analyzed, or are they usually nonsense?
4. Learn to face reality. Think about a time where you were trying to run away from a problem, but the running only drew you closer to the problem. Discuss that time. Since you can look back on that time with hindsight, do you agree with Jung that facing your reality would have been better than trying to run from it? How would following this idea help you have a more fulfilling life?
5. Be aware of superstitions. What superstitions have you held on to? Do your superstitions hinder you, or do they help you psych yourself up? According to Jung, how can integrating superstitions be beneficial?
6. Think, do not judge. What, in your opinion, is the difference between being sincere and being judgemental? How can not judging individuals increase your joy in living.
7. Avoid excessive pride. According to Jung, why do we have excessive pride? Why is pride so dangerous? How does it limit living?
8. Be eager to grow older. Each of you are older today than you were yesterday! Congratulations. What ages and milestones in your life are you looking forward to? How will age help you live a more fulfilling life? P.S. Don’t wait until 40 to start living! Do listen to the wisdom of those older than you though.
9. Tell your story. To whom do you feel the most comfortable telling your most uncomfortable stories? Jung claims that even telling your story to yourself is beneficial. According to Jung, telling your story brings about what? Why would this help you to live a more fulfilling life?
10. Life is granted to us and death is guaranteed to us. What we do in the middle is living. Find one song, story, movie, author, piece of art etc, that exemplifies the desire to live, to do more than just have life. Give a the name and title of the work you a are references, and a hyperlink to an example of that work. Write a brief summary or explanation of the work and tell how and why it inspires you to life life to its fullest.
