1. Please estimate which questions belong to theoretical ethics and which belong to applied ethics.
1.What is the good life?
Is a hungry person justified in stealing food?
Do animals have rights?
Should mentally ill people face capital punishment for crimes they commit?
Should doctors receive financial bonuses from pharmaceutical companies when they prescribe their drugs?
Should mothers stay home with children or work in an office?
Why should I share?
2. Please compare the following two statements:
Statement 1: President Nixon lied about illegal wiretapping.
Statement 2: People should not lie.
What is the difference between these two statements? How would you go about confirming the truth these statements? Why do you think the distinction between facts and values matter in ethics?
