The module presented several contemporary cases of international debates around cultural patrimony, the idea that a particular culture or nation has strong claims of ownership over artifacts produced in their territory that also are of particular cultural and/or historical value.
Not everyone thinks about the field of art history as ripe for ethical dilemmas, but perhaps that makes for a good test case for us to consider early in the course (since people are less likely to have firmly entrenched views about the issues involved).
Because these cases also are complex and cross international borders, they also can be good to help reveal how different viewpoints can impact applying ethical theories.
Select one of the news items posted in the module (either the case of the Byzantine frescoes, the Kohinoor diamond, or the Benin Bronzes) and analyze how at least two different ethical approaches would respond to the problem. For example, what would a Virtue Ethicist say would be the best course of action, or a Deontologist, a Utilitarian, etc. Or, how would two of those ethical approaches understand what the conflict at the heart of the issue is really about?
Support your analysis with at least one direct (and cited) quotation, either from the news stories related to the examples and/or the philosophy readings and resources we have discussed in the course.
Remember, you are not necessarily making an argument for what you would do personally; you are developing an analysis of what particular ethical approaches would advise as actions to solve the problem.
(This analytical reading journal actually is our first practice for the format of the applied ethics case analysis you will do later in the course in your final paper.)
