Conclusion

Sample Paper Below:
The sample paper is a partial example of minor project 2. Sections of the paper were intentionally deleted. The original paper was 28 pages total double spaced. The paper is a good example of the quality of content that is expected in this project. Please note: You do not need to write about the 15 theories – just write the ethical frameworks for: virtue, duty, and consequential theories. The student that wrote this sample paper had a slightly different assignment.
ASSIGNMENT 2 (Over half complete need finishing and review)
MINOR PROJECT 1 IS DUE: THE LAST DAY OF WEEK 1 OF PERIOD 2 (Week 3 of the course)
Normative Ethics is a category of ethical theories that focuses on how we ought to live. Normative theories are commonly grouped as: virtue theories, duty (or deontological) theories, and consequential (or teleological) theories.
A. Write an introduction that 1.) explains normative ethics and 2.) explains the purpose of your paper.
B. For each subcategory above (virtue, duty, consequential),
1. Explain the category
2. Explain 3 theories for each subcategory (no less than 9 total theories explained in the project)
3. Explain how each of the 9 theories aligns or does not align with a Christian perspective. The proper way to write this is to explain the theory and then write how it aligns or does not align with a Christian perspective before you explain the next theory. Alignment should be based on research and biblical support. You will lose 10 points for each theory if this is only based on your interpretation of scripture or your opinion.
Example of one theory that is a consequential:
Consequential theories are defined…
Utilitarianism is ….
It aligns with a Christian perspective…
C. Write a conclusion

Make sure to transition between each paragraph.
