Introduction
In this session, you have been considering moral-ethical dilemmas you yourself faced or
that you know of that you either resolved or failed to resolve, but hopefully learned
from. You may never have given much thought to ethical theory nor what ethical
premises/paradigms you have unconsciously held.
You will be focusing on this case for this assignment:
Jane Doe is a nursing student at University X. Jane is in week eight of a course entitled:
“Introduction to Ethics”.
For the week one discussion, Jane copied work done by her friend John Doe in the same
class two months ago (with a different professor). John told Jane it was okay to use his
work as John’s professor never checked any work in the class using Turnitin.com. John
claimed to have earned an A on the work also.
In week two, Jane went to StudentPapering.com and paid ten dollars for a week two
essay done by a student (not John Doe) who took the same course four months ago.
StudentPapering promises that all its archived work is of excellent quality and cannot be
detected as copied. Jane then uploaded an exact copy of the work for the week two
assignment.
In week three, Jane paid a worker at PaperingStudent.com ten dollars to write for Jane a
brand new essay after Jane shared with the worker the essay assignment instructions.
In week four, Jane relied on her knowledge of Esperanto. She felt pressed for time and
found an article by a professor from Esperanto on the week four topic. She translated
Esperanto into English using Moogle Translate, and the translated text served as her
week four paper.
In week five, Jane was running late again. Jane purposely uploaded a blank paper hoping
that she would later claim it was an innocent mistake and not be assessed a late penalty.
In a previous course on History, she had done the same (with an earlier paper from the
History class rather than simply a blank) and had not seen any late penalty assessed.
In week six, Jane took work she did in a nursing course from a year ago and submitted
that for her discussion posting in her current class. She simply copied and pasted the
work she had labored intensively on a year ago (even though University X forbids this
practice as ‘self-plagiarism’). Jane was confident her Nursing instructor never checked
that work using Turnitin.com or another method.
In week seven, Jane copied and pasted work found on website.com for the paper. Jane
did not use any quotation marks or other documentation to show the text was not by
Jane.
Since Jane’s Ethics professor did not check papers and posting for any issues by using
Turnitin.com or another method, the professor graded all of Jane’s work unaware of
Jane’s actions throughout the weeks of the class. Jane feels her actions are morally
justified both because her economic situation requires her to work too much to devote
time to school (although other students are well-off enough to have such time) and her
religion forbids cheating, but Jane ignores her religion’s teachings.
Instructions
Now that you have had an opportunity to explore ethics formally, create a reflective
assessment of your learning experience and the collaborations you engaged in
throughout this session. You will submit both of the following:
•
•
A written reflection
An oral presentation using a PowerPoint narrated slide show.
For the written reflection, address Jane Doe’s and respond to the following:
Articulate again your moral theory from week eight discussion (You can revise it if
you wish). What two ethical theories best apply to it? Why those two?
• Apply to Jane Doe’s case your personal moral philosophy as developed in week
eight discussion and now. Use it to determine if what Jane Doe did was ethical
or unethical per your own moral philosophy.
• Consider if some of these examples are more grave instances of ethical
transgressions than others. Explain.
• Propose a course of social action and a solution by using the ethics of egoism,
utilitarianism, the “veil of ignorance” method, deontological principles, and/or a
theory of justice to deal with students like Jane. Consider social values such as
those concerning ways of life while appraising the interests of diverse
populations (for instance, those of differing religions and economic status).
•
For the oral presentation, briefly summarize your feelings about taking a course in Ethics
and explore your process of transformation in this course.
Discuss your experiences of the course, your beginnings, and where you are now.
Consider your interaction in discussions.
• Should health care workers be required to take a course in Ethics? Why or why
not

Initial Post Instructions
Some people believe that you can tell who a person is by what they do when no one is looking. Let’s
look at the following case. John Doe, a nurse, has downloaded an application to her phone that
allows him to download copyrighted textbooks for a nursing course (that Doe is going to take)
without his Internet Service Provider knowing it. The application is called “Cloak” as in cloak of
invisibility (a hooded coat one wears to make it so others cannot see you). The application disguises
his phone and makes it so the information on it is inaccessible. John is aware that other people who
are of a lower socio-economic status (like him) also use this software program for the same reason
(and to save money). John Doe knows that his religion forbids him from using this application to
download in this manner. John Doe is focused on his own economic situation and does not consider
the publisher, author, and others involved in the books. Think about a course of social action; what
social values should be used to address this moral issue and conflict.
Create a personal ethical philosophy and explain from which philosophy or philosophies (it must
include at least one of the following: virtue ethics, Kantian ethics, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, or
social contract ethics) you created it and why the contents are important and meaningful for you.
List its precepts.
●
●
Take your personal ethical philosophy statement and use it to work through John Doe’s case.
What is moral and immoral per your theory?
How would the veil of ignorance or a different theory of justice address John Doe’s case?
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least one peer. When possible, respond to a peer who chose a different ethical theory
than you did in your posting. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.

Class,
You may begin posting on 2/26 for credit.
Please read the instructions and requirements for the discussion assignment.
Your discussion topic this week asks you to consider a scenario where a nurse downloaded an
application to her phone that allows him to download copyrighted textbooks for a nursing
course.Think about a course of social action; what social values should be used to address this
moral issue and conflict.
You will be asked to create a personal ethical philosophy and explain from which philosophy or
philosophies, take your personal ethical philosophy statement and use it to work through John
Doe’s case, and discuss how would the veil of ignorance or a different theory of justice address
John Doe’s case?
Please make your TWO posts each week on any of the eight days allotted from preview Sunday to
closing Sunday that work with your schedule. Posts must be made on two different days.
Your two posts, including your initial thread, and at least one follow up response to a classmate or
myself, can be made on any of the seven days from Sunday through Saturday 3/4, but posts should
be made on two different days.
