(1) Search the internet, books, etc., for a passage, sound/video-bite, etc., that contains a moral/ethical argument.
(2) Quote the passage, sound/video-bite in full. For example, if you want to use an argument that appears within a lengthy youtube video, then you need only quote the part of the video containing the argument and include the minute-marks/timestamps surrounding it, i.e., “The argument I found starts at 3:45 and ends at 4:27.”
(3) Provide answers to the following questions about your selected passage, sound/video-bite.
(a) What ethical/moral question is the argument in your passage, etc., offering an answer to?
(b) What is the author’s major claim/conclusion, i.e., what is the author’s proposed answer to the ethical/moral question that you stated in (a).
(c) What reasons, examples, etc., does the author offer in support of his/her major claim.
(d) Which moral/ethical values/disvalues (or principles) does the author’s reasoning seem to be assuming, prioritizing, countering, etc.?
(e) Do the author’s reasons, examples, etc., provide adequate and/or plausible support for his/her major claim? Or, might more reasons, evidence, examples, etc., be needed? Why/why not?
(d) Has the author provided us with sufficient information and reasoning to make an actual –decision– about the particular moral/ethical issue/question? Why/why not?
(4) Finally, include all relevant bibliographic, search engine, etc., information. That is, if your passage is from a book, then make sure to include the author’s name, book title, copyright date, publisher, and relevant pages numbers. If your passage appears within a youtube video, then include the video title, name of the speaker within the video (or if that isn’t known, then the youtube channel name), the youtube keywords you typed within the search bar to find the video, the relevant minute-marks/timestamps, and web address. If your passage appears on a particular webpage, blog, etc., then include the page/blog title, author’s name, search engine keywords you used to find the page/blog, and the web address.
