Drop Off the Key

Write a 1-2 page analysis of one of the cases we’ve discussed in class: Drop Off the Key, the Ford Pinto, or
the Trolley Problem. Your analysis should include a clear statement of the moral problem, the conclusion
(thesis) that your paper supports, and the argument for that conclusion. In making your argument, be sure
to use at least one of the moral theories we’ve been discussing. You may also want to consider what the
alternative courses of action are and the reasons that support each one. You should already be familiar
with the cases from our discussion boards so that you can focus on clearly presenting your views. The
papers will be graded using the rubric in the syllabus. Note that this is not a “research paper.” You should
do your analysis from the readings and the previous discussion boards. The papers should be double-
spaced with 12-point type and one-inch margins using Word software.
