In what circumstances does telling the truth meet Kant’s maxim for moral behavior and in what circumstances does telling the truth fail to qualify as a moral act? Use quotes from Kant’s Groundwork for a Metaphysics of Morals and concrete examples to explain your reasoning. (150-400 words)

GOAL:
To be familiar with the concept of a fallacy and its role in philosophy, logic & argumentation, and general human cognition.
MATERIAL COVERED:
Fallacy readings located in module WEEK TWO.
QUESTION/PROMPT:
Read the Fallacy readings carefully.
Pick one of your favorite fallacies.
For your chosen fallacy, find a visual, a written, and video artifact of that fallacy. You should have a total of 3 artifacts (examples) for your chosen fallacy. I will only grade one example of each.
Visual: an image, picture, poster, pictorial advertisement, etc.
An X (former “tweet)), Instagram, Facebook, etc. that contains only words, does not count as a visual artifact, it is a written artifact. To count as a visual artifact, the image itself must be committing the fallacy; that is, it must be making a legitimate mistake and not referencing one. For this reason, cartoons, artistic illustrations (particularly political cartoons), and animations are bad choices as examples of fallacies. The purpose of many cartoons (political, especially), etc. is to illustrate the error in reasoning in such a way as to make it obvious to the general reader. Thus, it is not committing the fallacy, but showing it – making it obvious. Do not use cartoons and their like as examples.
An image of a text message/tweet/IG/FB/TT/etc. whose content is originally based on the written word and does not depend on an image for its meaning/understanding, does not count as an example of an image. For example, an image/screenshot/etc. of a series of text messages counts as a written and not visual artifact.
Video: YouTube videos/shorts, Instagram videos, Facebook Reels, etc. If you use a long video, make sure to give me a time stamp where the fallacy occurs. NOTE: Texas outlawed TikTok for state business. Please avoid the hassle and do not use TikToks.
Also, follow the same advice for the visual artifacts above for videos; that is, do not use cartoons, animations, texts, etc., as examples.
Written: magazine/newpaper articles, blog posts, X’s (tweets), tumble’s, IG’s, (written out paragraphs), etc.
THE IDEA IS TO USE EXAMPLES (ARTIFACTS) THAT ARE INTENDED TO BE SERIOUS, AND COMMITT AN ACTUAL FALLACY IN DOING SO. An artifact that demonstrates or illustrates a fallacy is not an example of a fallacy.
Label each artifact as either visual, video, or written.
You may not google or run an internet or AI assisted search for things like “example of X fallacy”. You need to 1) understand the nature of the fallacy by studying it, and 2) organically find an example using your own understanding and cognitive attention. I will be taking off points for not following this rule.
You need to explain why and how each artifact is an example of the fallacy.
For all artifacts (visual, video, written) make sure that you either give me something that I can directly view on the Word document (like a picture), or that you provide a WORKING url (link) that I can copy and paste into a browser address bar. DO NOT give me a Dropbox, Google Doc, etc, link. Obviously your explanations and descriptions need to be written out.
All examples need citations – I need to know exactly where you got the material from and I need to be able to find it myself with the citation information you provide.
On a Word document (.doc, or .docx) follow the following format for each artifact:
Fallacy Name: ______________
Artifact Type: (visual, video, written)
Artifact Source: (insert URL or other source indication)
Analysis of Artifact: Insert your explanation and analysis of your artifact here. Use as much space as needed.
Image: (If you have an image, put it after the above.)
NOTE: I will take off 2 points each for the following:
Not having 3 (a visual, video, written) artifacts.
Failing to provide a citation that takes me exactly to your source. All three artifacts/examples need a citation. (Test out your links before you submit.)
Using a cartoon, artistic illustration, or animation as an example of a fallacy.
Discovering or suspecting that your artifact came by way of some type of direct search for a fallacy.
Module 2 Source:

Argument: Give the strongest possible arguments, providing a convincing and sound philosophical argument for the stated thesis, relying on the arguments from readings.
Note:
In order to fully develop the argument, the central “worldview” questions such as whether God exists, whether materialism or dualism is true, and so on, should be addressed. The paper should make it clear how the stated thesis interacts with the main worldviews at issue.

Introduction
Imagine you are a home healthcare worker employed by Ministering Angels Health Services. You have been assigned a new client, and we’ll call her Mrs. Evans. She is 86 years old and suffered a stroke. She was recently at a skilled nursing facility but her Medicare benefits ran out and she is now receiving home health care. She needs a lot of assistance with daily living activities and is mostly wheelchair-bound.
Mrs. Evans lives in a trailer home with her 88-year-old husband, who, shortly after Mrs. Evans was assigned a home health worker, suffered a heart attack and is now in a nursing home.
Mrs. Evans is concerned about her husband and depressed about her situation. She insists on visiting her husband every day for 4 to 6 hours; she is driven there by friends and family. No one can convince her to visit less often or for shorter times. These lengthy visits are interfering with her own rehabilitation, and she is increasingly missing appointments with you and with other care providers. She maintains that her husband was always with her while she was hospitalized, and she can do no less for him. She becomes agitated and upset at any suggestion she should curtail these visits. She has become very attached to you and begs you not to “abandon” her, as she puts it, and struggles to comply with your directions for her care and safety. Mrs. Evan has repeatedly asked you to juggle her appointments with other care providers to allow visits to her husband.
Medicare’s guidelines for clients to receive home health under Part-A Insurance Plan require them to meet certain “homebound” criteria. Homebound status is officially described as,
There exists a normal inability to leave home and, consequently, leaving home would require a considerable and taxing effort. If the patient does in fact leave the home, the patient may nevertheless be considered homebound if the absences from the home are infrequent or for periods of relatively short duration, or are attributable to the need to receive health care treatment. (Home Health Services, 1989)
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older. Although a Medicare tax is deducted from workers’ pay, these premiums do not begin to cover the cost of Medicare. Steuerle and Quakenbush (2018) estimate that by 2030, male retirees will receive $221,000 more in lifetime benefits than they paid into Medicare, while female retirees will take home $263,000 on top of what they contributed.  
Ministering Angels also has specific requirements that you document facts and events as you go about your daily work, including concerns about the client’s environment, safety hazards, and anything out of the ordinary that happens with the client while you are with her.
As an ethical critical thinker, how should you respond to Mrs. Evans?  
In this assignment, you will consider your personal ethics as you evaluate a real-life situation that might be presented to you as a healthcare professional.
Respond to each of the following elements:
Laws, Rules, and Regulations: List all the laws, rules, or regulations you believe apply to this situation.
Stakeholders: List the stakeholders—those who will be affected by any decision you make.
Obligations: List those to whom you believe you have a personal or professional obligation—for example, Mrs. Evans, in rank order, with the highest obligation first, then in descending order to lowest obligation.
Priorities: Briefly explain the choices you made in Three. For example, why is Mrs. Evans—if she is your first obligation—highest in priority? Why is the lowest-named entity in last place? No more than 80–100 words.
Ethical Approach: Briefly discuss the approach you see as most appropriate here —rule-based, consequence-/outcome-based, or virtue-based. If you believe more than one applies, so state. Briefly explain your choice. No more than 80–100 words.
Your Decision: Having considered the rules and the consequences of following or not following them, discuss what course of action you believe you are obliged to take. Of all the courses of action she might take, what course of action do you think she should take? Explain why you think this is what you must do. No more than 150–200 words.
Writing Requirements Length: 1.5-2 pages (all six elements)
1-inch margins
Double spaced
12-point Times New Roman font
Title page
References page (lesson/textbook citation and outside source citation in APA format)
