conduct a comparative analysis of Kantian Ethics and Rawls’ Theory of Justice by exploring an issue related to the Coronavirus pandemic. First review this week’s material and reference the Framework for Ethical Decision Making.

1. Briefly define each theory in your own words. Use the textbook and include proper citations.

2. Observe how the theories are similar. An example will strengthen your essay.

3. Observe how the theories are different. An example will strengthen your essay.

4. Now, you will consider a topical question from the perspectives of Rawls and Kant

a. The Coronavirus pandemic is certainly a pressing issue of global concern. A range of disparities in health, employment, and other outcomes has been well-documented. Here is the question: Is it morally permissible for some groups of people to experience poorer outcomes than other groups of people when considering private sector, community-based, or government responses to a global pandemic?

b. You may choose to narrow your discussion by thinking about the many ways we categorize people and focusing on a subset of the US or global population – for example, consider impacts of COVID-19 by age, race, ethnicity, home language, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, education, socio-economic status, mental or physical abilities, citizenship status, etc. You may also wish to consider systems and institutions – private, public, and government – in the context of experiencing or responding to a global pandemic. You must research and find at least one credible source to document the disparity you choose to address. In the last section of your essay:

5. Describe the disparity you have identified and cite your source.

6. Describe how a proponent of Rawls, using the Theory of Justice, would answer the question “Is it morally permissible for some groups of people to experience poorer outcomes than other groups of people when considering private sector, community-based, or government responses to a global pandemic?” A strong essay will integrate his two principles – equality/freedom and the difference principle.

7. Describe how a proponent of Rawls, using the Theory of Justice, would answer the question “Is it morally permissible for some groups of people to experience poorer outcomes than other groups of people when considering private sector, community-based, or government responses to a global pandemic?” A strong essay will integrate his two principles – equality/freedom and the difference principle.

8. Conclude your essay with your own perspective on the question. Name the ethical framework that most closely aligns with your own perspective (it doesn’t have to be Rawls or Kant) and explain why.
