QUESTION: This assignment has 2 parts.
Identify a philosophy that justifies the judges actions and why it justifies his actions. (For this part, you’ll want to focus on the theories in part 1 of the book.)
Apply a philosophy that would condemn the judges actions and explain why his actions conflict with that philosophy. (For this part, you’ll want to focus on the philosophies in part 2 of the book.)
Review the following requirements before submitting your response:
Your response must reflect the material you’ve read.
Do not ask yourself, “What would I do?” ask instead, “What would a (hedonist, egoist, utilitarian, deontologist, virtue ethicist, or social contract theorist) do?”
Content based on opinion does not count toward answering the question.
Be sure to cite the book as necessary according to APA style guide.
Failing to cite is plagiarism and results in a 0.
