What is the good life? How ought the good life to be lived? These two questions sum up the drive behind Western ethics.
The PowerPoint Guide to Ethical Theory for AS Level Religious Studies introduces the basic themes of Western ethical theories from Ancient Greece to the modern day systems of the 21st Century.
Topic areas include:
- Platonic ethics
- Aristotle's golden mean
- Christian ethics
- Utilitarianism
However, all theory and no practice makes Jack a dull boy! Ethical theory may tie the mind in moral knots, but without application to real life situations ethics would become little more than an intellectual curiosity.
The PowerPoint Guide to Applied Ethics for AS Level Religious Studies investigates a variety of issues to which ethical thinking can be applied.
Issues include:
- Transplant surgery
- Animal Rights
- IVF
- Cloning
- Euthanasia
- Abortion
Each PowerPoint slide show contains key questions to encourage students to apply scrutiny and analysis to the nature of ethics. Each show has a black and white copy so that students can print off slide shows without wasting valuable printer ink! The scheme of work which accompanies this resource contains key terms and suggested activities.
These resources have a dual purpose; either they can be used by the teacher as a lesson guide, or they can be downloaded into the student's computer area for independent study.
Designed to be used with students who have no previous knowledge of ethics, each resource guides the student through the ethical maze, thereby offering them an introduction to ethical theory and applied ethics.
