=HSED594 Module 2: Ethical Theories= Greetings, HSED594 Folks... Welcome to your very own WIKI.

Here, we will be constructing working definitions for the ethical theories we have reviewed in your readings.

Each of you is required to participate in the creation of encyclopedia-style definitions of each of the six ethical theories discussed in the text. Each of you will be responsible for working on TWO of these entries. Each of the entries must include the following four sections:

1. Basic Principles of the Theory - In two to three paragraphs, explain the theory to the "average" reader. 2. Specifics of the Ethical Approach - Include different threads of the theory if applicable. 3. Historical Background - Who have been the major proponents? From where did the theory arise? 4. Two Examples - These should illustrate the theory for an "average" reader.

In developing your definitions, you MAY NOT cut and paste from other sources. All entries must be paraphrased appropriately and sources cited. You may use sources outside of your text if you find them helpful. Remember, you now have access to a large number of resources for ethical theories from your last assignment!
