Create an 8-10 slide PPT, or some other presentation, that accomplishes the following:
- Chose some ethical issue you feel is important (abortion, gun control, climate change, eating meat, anything that can be considered a moral matter – if you are unsure, be sure to clear with your instructor)
- Present research on the situation being sure to clearly discuss both sides, as much as possible. Some conundrums will have much more weight on one side than the other such as climate change.
- Reiterate the primary theories contained in your moral compass from week 3 and then explain the position on this issue your compass promotes.
- Include a proper references/works cited slide (APA or MLA).
