In the Ancient Greek world (the world of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, often regarded as the birthplace of philosophy) a symposium was a banquet held after a meal, an after party of sorts that usually included drinking, dancing, recitals, and engaging conversations on the topics of the day.

For our purposes in this course, the Symposium discussions will not involve dancing, recitals, or a banquet, but they will provide food for thought on current ethical issues and direct application of the ethical theory discussed in each of these weeks.

It is almost impossible these days to turn on the news or log onto social media without encountering a controversy that cries out for ethical discussion. For these Symposium discussions, your instructor will choose a topic of current ethical interest and a resource associated with it for you to read or watch. Your task is to consider how the ethical theory of the week might be used to examine, understand, or evaluate the issue.

This week, you will consider how utilitarianism applies to a controversy, dilemma, event, or scenario selected by your instructor. It is a chance for you to discuss together the ethical issues and questions that it raises, your own response to those, and whether that aligns with or does not align with a utilitarian approach. The aim is not to simply assert your own view or to denigrate other views, but to identify, evaluate, and discuss the moral reasoning involved in addressing the chosen issue.

Your posts should remain focused on the ethical considerations, and at some point in your contribution you must specifically address the way a utilitarian would approach this issue by explaining and evaluating that approach.

If you have a position, you should strive to provide reasons in defense of that position.

 600 words

Choose one of these objections and briefly explain the core idea in your own words. 

1. Reflect on the theory: 

Present a scenario (real or imagined) in which a committed utilitarian would probably make one choice, but someone who finds this objection compelling would probably make a different choice.  (In other words, put yourself in the mind of someone making that objection, and youre imagining a scenario in which that person would likely make a certain ethical judgment but a utilitarian would make a different ethical judgment.)

1. Reflect on yourself: 

In your view, does considering this situation strengthen and support the objection (thus showing a weakness to utilitarianism), or does it help strengthen utilitarianism by showing how a utilitarian could respond to that objection? 

Milestone One: Draft of Overview and Societal Perception In Module Two, you will submit a 3- to 4-page draft of the Overview and Societal Perception portions of the report. Address all critical elements from Section I and II above in this draft. Select and summarize an event or incident and describe the challenges the sport organization faces. Your analysis should be written from the perspective of the society with which the sport organization is affiliated. This means that you are answering both questions A and B in Section II above as if you were a member of the society surrounding the sport organization. This milestone is graded with the Milestone One Rubric. 

Submit a draft of the Overview and Societal Perception sections of your final project. Address all critical elements from Section I and II in the Final Project Document in this draft. Select and summarize an event or incident and describe the challenges the sport organization faces.

Your analysis should be written from the perspective of the society with which the sport organization is affiliated. This means that you are answering both questions A and B in Section II of the Final Project Document, as if you were a member of the society surrounding the sport organization.

You might think of proposing a solution as a double-layered argument: first, you must argue that a problem worthy of attention or action exists and, second, that a particular solution will best solve it. The goal is not necessarily to convince readers that only one solution is possible, but that a particular solution to an important problem has merit.

 Viruses, Trojan Horses, and Worms

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 4 in the text, watch the video, and review the Cisco article.

Computer viruses are considered to be the oldest form of malware that can infect a system. These types of viruses have been around since the inception of the personal computer. The modern landscape of computing has given rise to a number of newer and more sophisticated viruses, Trojan horses, and worms that can infiltrate a computer system, opening the user to heightened risks of being victimized by cyber criminals. Individual computer users are not the only targets of these malware programs; computer criminals and hackers now target governmental and corporate computer systems on a regular basis.

In your initial post define the terms computer virus, Trojan horse, and worm. Explain how each malware type functions once installed on a computer or computer system. Identify at least one computer virus, Trojan horse, or worm in operation today and describe its specific effects on systems once installed. In addition, you must evaluate the legal issues that arise as officials strive to prevent and detect each of these types of malicious programs. Examine the methods of analyzing malware attacks with regard to determining their source.

Overall, she loved her job; she was happy to work with a company that provided great benefits, and she and found enjoyment in her day-to-day work. She had the same product manager boss for years, but last year, her manager left Ohio Connection and retired. Recently her new manager has been treating her unfairly and showcasing bullying behavior.Yesterday, Janey came into work, and her boss decided to use their power as her manager and her superior to demand that she stay late to cover for him, correct reports that he had made mistakes on, and would not pay her overtime. She was going to be late to pick up her son from soccer practice if she stayed late; she told him this, and he was not happy.Over subsequent days, her boss consistently would make comments about her performance, even though she had always had good remarks on reviews, and created a very negative work environment. The next time she was asked to stay late, she complied for fear of losing her job or having other negative impacts on her job. Janeys situation was not ideal, but she didnt feel she had a choice.Questions:

1. What type of power did Janeys boss employ to get her to do the things that he wanted her to do?
2. What negative consequences are apparent in this situation and other situations where power is not balanced in the workplace?
3. What steps should Janey take do to counteract the power struggle that is occurring with her new manager?
