Discuss the answer to the ethical question provided by applying the first ethical theory.

Compare the answer to the ethical question provided by applying the first ethical theory to the second ethical theory’s application.

Evaluate the strength of the application by considering one or more of the following questions:

Does applying the theory present an adequate response to the issue, or are there significant aspects of the issue the theory does not address?

Does the application differ from how the issue is currently being addressed?

Does the application present a better approach to how the issue is currently being addressed?

Does applying the theory to the issue raise other problems or concerns?

This section should be between 300 and 350 words.

Part 7: Conclusion
