Answer ONE of the following Discussion Prompts: Option A: Prisoner’s Dilemma – What makes a situation a “prisoner’s dilemma”? What is the rational thing to do in a prisoner’s dilemma situation? What worked on the game show “Golden Balls”? How does this relate to the Social Contract Theory?
Option B: Civil Disobedience – Suppose that the existing laws of a society require something that you regard as unjust. Does the social contract theory automatically support the morality of the existing law? Why or why not? What are the requirements of *changing* the social contract of your society? Do you think this is a reasonable method of dealing with disagreements on our social contract? Is there any way to ‘opt out’ if you don’t agree with the existing laws other than civil disobedience? Explain your thinking and why you think what you think.
Option C: Veil of Ignorance – What is Rawl’s “Veil of Ignorance”? Summarize his addition to the social contract theory briefly. Do you think this helps us to make our laws more fairly? Or is it misguided? Why or why not?
