In a five-paragraph essay or more, apply ONE of these ethical theories (Kant’s Categorical Imperative, Utilitarianism, Virtue Ethics, and Ethics of Love) to AI Dunlaps business leadership, evaluating his moral attitudes and actions according to the ethical theory applied. Apply the ethical theory in each paragraph to support your arguments throughout the entire essay. Not using an ethical theory results in an automatic zero. Using more than one ethical theory results in an

automatic zero.

The keystone assessment will be graded according to the following aspects:

1) You have an introduction paragraph that introduces the moral issues of AI Dunlap and

the moral theory of your choosing. You also have a thesis statement that clearly

states your position and how you will argue for it.

2) You choose only one of the four moral ethical theories listed above as the cornerstone

of your essay.

i) For Kants Deontology, you include and apply his two arguments

ii) For Utilitarianism, you include and apply Benthams four points in his Principle

of Utility and three or more aspects of his Felicific Calculus.”

iii) For Virtue Ethics, you include and apply Aristotles Golden Mean, his views on

universal virtues with their relation to eudaimonia, and three or more virtues from

the virtue table

iv For Ethics of Love, you include and apply the personalist ethics of Dietrich von Hildebrand and Max Scheler to suffering

3) Each reason is communicated well and related to the AI Dunlap story.

You use examples from his obituary to show your point. Each reason has enough detail to clearly illustrate your position to someone who does not know too

much about ethics.

5) You have a conclusion that neatly wraps up the gist of the essay by evaluating whether you think AI Dunlap is a moral hero and what you hope for your own future as a moral person.
