Develop a fictional dialogue in which two characters argue over the nature of morality. The two characters should construct arguments and offer criticisms of each other's arguments. They can agree to disagree, or find some areas of agreement. The dialogue should address psychological and ethical egoism; duty-based, consequentialist, care-based, and virtue-based theories of morality; cultural and

ethical relativism; and Nietzsche's attack on morality.

What will be an ideal response?


This is a creative, argumentative writing assignment in which students can synthetically address the major issues of this chapter. Alternatively, students may wish to stage this dialogue in class as an oral presentation and/or create a video of it.
