Does your response to the dilemma fall in line with either approach in any important way? Does it go against the prescriptions of either theory?

Confronting Ethical Dilemmas: Part 2

In this second essay in which you are reflecting on how you handled a personal ethical dilemma that confronted you, bring in to the discussion at least two different traditional ethical approaches or theories and consider how your actions in dealing with the dilemma may now be analyzed in the light of these different views. You might, for example, consider a consequentialist and a nonconsequentialist approach  to ethical questions.
Does your response to the dilemma fall in line with either approach in any important way? Does it go against the prescriptions of either theory? You should make an effort here to clearly articulate your current ethical position and decide whether it is the same as when you confronted your ethical dilemma in the past or whether it is now different. Also reflect on whether anything you have learned or thought about as a result of taking this class has changed or shaped your current ethical position.
Please limit this final reflection on a personal ethical dilemma to no more than 2500 words. Word-count minimum for full credit is 1000 words.

Is it by being the author of my identity that freedom is possible for me?

Today’s culture is rife with clichés and preconceptions about freedom, beginning with the idea that freedom is nothing more than the ability to “do what you want. This course has modestly attempted to go beyond this simplified view to explore the conditions and limits of freedom. But the subject remains inexhaustible and complex. Rousseau, an 18th century philosopher, had this to say about freedom: “Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains. Spinoza, a 17th century philosopher, said this about freedom: “Such is the human freedom that all men boast of having, and which consists only in those men are conscious of their desires and ignorant of the causes that determine them. But how to see it more clearly? How do key modern philosophers like Sartre and Marx understand the question? What do you think of them?
