The paper will ask students to apply one of the major ethical theories to a specific problem. For the paper students will be required to select a contemporary article applying virtue ethics, deontology, or utilitarianism to an ethical problem. Students will be required to discuss how the theory explains the problem, and critically assess how well the theory deals with the problem.

The paper should be not exceed five pages in length (double-spaced, with 1 inch margins, Times New Roman size 12 font).

I’d like to suggest to make the paper about critiquing egoism by using the case of police officers. You will need to discuss, at least briefly, how the different ethical theories provide us with more guidance and insight into how officers should act.
