This assignment builds upon the Module 4 Dropbox: Identification, Research, Analysis assignment you submitted previously. Be sure to review the feedback you received from that assignment, and make any necessary revisions BEFORE moving forward with this assignment.

Focusing on the same case as before, you will now complete the fourth step of the critical thinking process: 4) Application. This time, you will apply a Nonconsequential Ethical Theory – Kantian Ethics – to resolve the main ethical/moral issue.

Again, review the case in the Ethics textbook Chapter 24: Case 6, Life on the Streets.

Follow the Sample Format: Application – Kantian Ethics, and submit to this Dropbox using MLA formatting.  

Apply Kantian Ethics, as follows:

Paragraph 1 – (150 words minimum) – Summarize Kantian Ethics. Include descriptions of the key terms/concepts: Universality and Respect-for-Persons. Use your own words. Do not use quotations. Paraphrase the information, and provide in-text citation(s) with the page number(s), where appropriate. In the Works Cited, be sure to cite your source(s).

Apply Kantian Ethics following the Sample Format –  Application – Kantian Ethics. 

Conclusion paragraph –  (150 words minimum) – State the “best” option(s), and explain how a true Kantian would come to this conclusion. Describe the results of applying Universality and Respect-for-Persons.
