ISRP Day 14

We discussed the Kant and Mill reading - see last week.

We took a quiz (or not; again, see last week) on the reading.

We read this article on how language affects moral judgement:

Using a foreign language changes moral decisions

We listened to:

• a Radiolab episode called Golden Balls:

• or this TED talk by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor:

I told you what the Final Exam would be like:

I will give you a reading assignment and you have to answer the following 6 questions:

1) What is the most important point of the reading?

2) How would you compare this reading assignment to a previous reading assignment in the course?

3) Give an example or real world application of some idea or concept in the assigned reading.

4) What was the most important sentence in the reading? Why did you think that sentence is so important?

5) What question did you have about the reading or what did you find troubling or disturbing?

6) What was your reaction to the content of the reading?

I assigned homework: to write a fiction story that features a moral dilemma.

However, that homework is never due because this was the last class!

Also, there is Extra Credit available!

Bonus! Dr. Taylor, from the video above, also appeared on this super interesting Radiolab episode!
