Comparing Frameworks of Justice and Ethics

Wednesday, July 11   
POINTS - Up to 50 
LENGTH: 4-5 pages (about 800-1,000 words)

We will now try together some of our assigned readings.
We have argued that justice and ethics are entertwined, and both rely
on some identifiable foundation (see ethics handouts, webboard, and team debates).

Compare and contrast any three of the following:
   1) Marx
   2) Plato (all characters)
   3) Liberation theology
   4) Christianity 
   5) Singer
   6) Yourself (This one is mandatory: You MUST include this one)

There are many ways to approach this. For example, we have addressed
issues such as:

   1) Rule following/outcome oriented foundations
   2) Social/normative constructs and absolute rules
   3) Natural law/Postive law
   4) Perceptions of ethics (tyler) and some absolute standard

And many more (the above are just suggested themes). Compare and contrast
and show that you're learning something.
