CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

    1. Prayer
    2. Before the lesson,  read The Trolley Problem: A Philosophical Thought Experiment. 
                   Below are some arguments that will be helpful to today’s discussion:

      • Ontological argument: By changing the switch of the track, we intend to kill. If we can murder, surely everyone in society should be allowed to murder – and this is wholly unethical. 

      • Teleological/consequentialist argument: A bystander would be morally justified in pulling a lever to divert a runaway trolley away from five workers if it would kill one worker on another track. This is because it would deflect the threat from the larger group to the smaller group.

      • Deontological argument: Would say that it's morally wrong to intentionally kill an innocent person, even if it would benefit others.

      Students can also follow the lesson plan on In Thinking.
