Ethics Case Writing Competition
In celebration of Ethics Week at UNF, the Florida Blue Center for Ethics is sponsoring an ethics case writing competition.
WHO:
Entries can be made by current 成人大片undergraduates either as an individual, or as part of a group. In particular, 成人大片student organizations and clubs are encouraged to work together to submit an entry. Only one case can be submitted by any individual or group.
WHAT:
Cases should be 500-700 words long, and written in a way that is accessible to a general audience. Cases can be about any issue or dilemma concerning values, right/wrong, good/bad, what matters, how we should live our lives, what virtues are important, etc.
The goal of these cases is to encourage productive reasoning and discussion over disagreement, so cases should focus on issues about which reasonable (and even lively) disagreement is feasible (i.e., cases shouldn’t focus on those issues about which most students would agree).
Cases can concern real-life events, or purely fictional scenarios. In the case, the author(s) should set up the issue, giving all of the relevant background information, and lay out some of the moral reasons that may be relevant. The case should be written as objectively as possible, and reasons from multiple different perspectives on the issue should be included.
All submissions must be original materials, although appropriately cited excerpts may be used (a quote from a news source, for example).
Sample cases can be found in the NHSEB .
Cases can, but need not, include discussion questions.
WHEN:
Cases must be emailed to j.matheson@unf.edu as a WORD or PDF attachment with the subject line “成人大片Case Competition” by October 18th.
WHY:
Participation can highlight different ethical issues of interest, generate good discussion, and be lots of fun. All submissions will be reviewed by a panel, and the author(s) of the best written case will receive a prize of $500.
