Your community recently experienced a population boom
Your community recently experienced a population boom, an increase of 25% of the overall population in the last 10 years. While this is an exciting time of growth and change throughout the community, the diversification of the population has led to some misconceptions and preconceived notions. The Chamber of Commerce, in response to the changing faces of their community’s population, has formed a Diversity in our Community Committee. They are seeking members from a cross-categorical representation of the community as they organize their first Celebrating Diversity Day.
In an effort to provide educational resources and the opportunity for community members to come together to celebrate diversity, the Chamber plans to hold an informational fair in which participants can go from booth to booth to learn about different diverse aspects from within their community. Along with topics that cover diversity in race, culture, age, religion, they want to take it a step further from the traditional diversity classifications and present information on diverse ethical perspectives. The timing for you could not be any better, due to your participation in an Ethics Around the Globe course, so you immediately volunteer for the committee and the fair.
For this first part of the project you will be creating a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sheet highlighting Utilitarianism and Ethical Egoism, which are two of the most well-known ethical theories. A FAQ sheet is a document that compiles a collection of information in the form of questions with their applicable answers. The goal of this sheet will be to provide some foundational information to the participants that they can take with them as they move through the Diversity Fair. It also works as a good conversational starter as people who visit your booth will be covering various aspects of ethics.
You will need to establish a FAQ document and provide the following questions with their applicable answers.
What are ethics?
Why do ethics vary from person to person?
What are key features of consequentialist theories?
What are key features of utilitarianism?
What are key features of ethical egoism?
What are the differences between utilitarianism and ethical egoism?
