Throughout Chapter 3 of the textbook, information about act nonconsequentialism is offered. Act nonconsequentialists argue that there are no general rules or theories at all. These individuals often argue that an act is right or wrong depending on numerous factors.
For this assignment, you are required to think about a time in which you had a different viewpoint of an act based upon several factors of influence. Specifically, think about an issue that you commonly view as right/wrong or black and white. Then, in a six-page double spaced essay that is approximately 1,500 words (formatted according to APA 7th edition standards), address the following:
Explain your “common” viewpoint/ethical stance about the act being referenced.
Then, explain what factors changed your viewpoint during this particular situation. For example, if you once believed X, what about this situation changed your viewpoint to Y? Be very specific about these factors of influence, please.
Using your textbook to justify your rationale, please explain why, at points in time, our decisions might change based upon factors of influence.
Please ensure that all information is presented in a clear and legible manner, with a font size of 12. Your submission should be in the .docx file format, which can be created using applications such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word and saved as a .docx file. When composing your responses, use comprehensive paragraphs to thoroughly address each point as instructed, rather than relying solely on bullet points. Additionally, remember to include proper citations within your document for each source, including the textbook, and create a reference page following the guidelines of the APA format.
