Please no outside sources. I have provided the reading material to reference from.
My essay will be on the following:
Should a Kantian be in favor of an undercover police officers use of deception to capture criminals? Why or why not?
Your analysis should proceed through the following basic stages.
1. Begin by giving a summary of the ethical theory you will be dealing with (either utilitarianism or Kantian deontology).
2. Then proceed to examine the particular problem you have chosen, bringing out its morally relevant features.
3. Then apply the characteristic rules and thinking patterns of the ethical theory to the problem in question.
4. Finally, offer a judgment on the matter, qualifying that judgment as specific circumstances might require.
When applying the ethical theory to your chosen problem, make use of your own thinking, not the opinions of other moralists.
Kantian-oriented papers may use outside research to find relevant case studies (such as personal reminiscences from a former undercover police detective, explaining how he had to use deception in his job) but not to rule on matters of moral judgment (such as notable Kantian philosopher Fred Daffys position on the use of deception in policing).
Essays that rely on outside research for moral judgments will receive failing grades. Also, essays that do not provide proper citations or documentation for any sources used, will be deemed plagiarized and receive failing grades.
