For each tradition, identify at least one way in which their ethical perspective is uniquely different from a traditionally Western understanding of ethics, and explain how we might benefit from adopting this practice/principle/perspective. Instructions: We expect this essay to be between 350 and 500 words. No formal introduction is required. The essay should respond to the prompt completely, and engage this module’s primary texts (note: not the overview, video(s), or annotations) by including at least two relevant quotations. All quotes must be in quotation marks and cited (author, page number), and all paraphrased passages must be cited (author, page number). Be sure to define key terms, and explain in your own words why the quotes are relevant to your essay. Note that plagiarism will be subject to the most severe penalties set out in the course syllabus and university policy. The Essays are graded using an abbreviated version of the rubric below. The full version of the rubric allows you to identify how you can improve on future assignments. Late submissions are accepted for a limited time, with late penalties that are assessed by the week. Note that the assignments are first graded on their content using the rubric, after which standard deductions are manually applied. This means that the rubric always reflects the strengths and weaknesses of the submission. Standard deductions: Late penalties of -2 per week.
