Wk 4 - Western Utilitarian & Virtue Ethics and their Chinese Counterparts
Assignment Content

Explain the Utilitarian concept of utility and the Aristotelian concept of virtue. How do either of them relate to the Chinese ethical concept of Yin and Yang? What did Mo Tzu teach that is relevant to them? Finally, take one example of a contemporary problem of social responsibility and assess what is required of us from a utilitarian and from a virtue standpoint.

Your essay should be 750-850 words in length.

After describing them, you should assess whether one makes more sense than the other, and why, or whether they are complementary, and how. You might want to apply both to some important problems of contemporary ethics.

Format your assignment according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines.
