First, select two theories, one from each of the following groups:Ethical Framework Group 1 (Consequence-based)

• Utilitarianism OR
• Egoism

Ethical Framework Group 2 (Environment-based):

• Instrumental OR
• Stewardship OR
• Deep Ecological Theory

Then, answer the following questions:

1. Define each chosen framework.
3. Compare and contrast the two frameworks – how are they similar? How are they different?
5. Using the Framework for Applying Ethical Theories as a guide, consider this scenario through each framework.
7. From the first ethical perspective, considering what you discovered in the email, is the theory violated or endorsed? Put another way, is anyone’s conduct unethical according to this theory? Explain your reasoning.
9. From the second ethical perspective, considering what you discovered in the email, is the theory violated or endorsed? Put another way, is anyone’s conduct unethical according to this theory? Explain your reasoning.
11. Now decide what you should do from each ethical perspective. Applying the first theory, what is a morally correct action you can take (or not take)? Explain your reasoning.
13. Applying the second theory, what is a morally correct action you can take (or not take)?  Explain your reasoning.
15. Wrap it up: What would you ACTUALLY do in this situation? With what framework does your decision best align? You can pick any theory we’ve studied.
