2.
Explain
“moral worth”. What is it, and how should the moral
worth of another being be determined? Give at least two accounts.
(You may want to reference Immanuel Kant’s theory, or refer to our discussion
of who to save from a burning building).
3.
There
are (at least) two opposing interpretations of the violence of the children
in Lord of the Flies. If there are no laws, will people
inevitably be violent? Or are the children violent because of the society
they form on the island? Or neither? Justify your answer with
details from the story. You may also want to make reference to the
theories on human violence of Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau
