Apply the chosen ethical theory to one of the folllowing scenarios and explain how the theory provides a basis for rational decision making. You should appy parts of the theory specifically to the scenario. For example, specific virtues in Virtue Ethics of specific maxims and imperatives in Deontology or specific (basic) goods in naural law, and explain how these help you to solve some of the ethical challenges that arise

Task. (you should structure the case study in the following way):
1) Choose one of these ethical theories and explain it as clearly as you can (highlight its key aspects)

a) Either Virtue Ethics
b) or natural law (ethical) theory
c) or deontological ethics

2) Apply the chosen ethical theory to one of the folllowing scenarios and explain how the theory provides a basis for rational decision making. You should appy parts of the theory specifically to the scenario. For example, specific virtues in Virtue Ethics of specific maxims and imperatives in Deontology or specific (basic) goods in naural law, and explain how these help you to solve some of the ethical challenges that arise.

3) what are the 1 or 2 major strenghts and weaknesses of the theory (you should discuss at least one strength and one weakness, and you should draw on research and authoritative academic sources, not mere opinions, here)

4) Explain (briefly) whether or not the chosen ethical theory will help you resolve ethical dilemmas in the future in your own life in the professional sphere, and why
The government of a neighboring country (and a close trading partner and ally of Australia) is proposing to change the laws to make it not unlawful to say things which may offend or humiliate others on the basis of their race or ethnicity

The first justification they give in defense of the proposed change is that it is not wrong to speak even in bigoted terms about others and even if these others are likely to be offended of humiliated. The second justification given is that people in this country offend and humiliate others every day (for example in parliamentary debates of ‘at the football’)
