Critically Thinking about Your Products
One of the educational goals at school is to help students become more conscientious citizens who understand the importance of sustainable lifestyle choices. As you have hopefully discovered by now, the concepts of this class should not be limited to the classroom. Critical Thinking is a course designed to help you become better equipped to make reasonable, well-informed decisions in every aspect of your life.
Now is your opportunity to apply the skills learned in this course to something you do almost every day: morning grooming with various grooming, hygiene, or cosmetic products. For many Americans, morning is the time at which they are exposed to the most toxins, and morning is the time at which they consume the most products that may be harmful to other people, animals, and the environment. This assignment is an opportunity for you to learn about one grooming/hygiene/cosmetic product you use while you get ready for your day.
Write a coherent, well-crafted essay that does the following things:
(a) Describe J. S. Mills principle of utility. (b) Explain what Mill means when he says that the principle of utility is the First Principle of morality and explain Mills reasons for thinking that morality must have a first principle. (c) Distinguish direct utilitarianism from indirect utilitarianism. (d) Describe Bernard Williams hypothetical case in which George the chemist faces a moral dilemma. (e) Does the case of George the chemist show that some forms of utilitarianism are false, mistaken or that they provide us with a poor guide to action? (fi) If you think the example undermines some forms of utilitarianism, describe which and explain why you think the example undermines these forms of utilitarianism. (fii) On the other hand, if you think the example fails to undermine any form of utilitarianism explain why you think this is so. (g) How might an indirect utilitarian who s
Attached below is a link to the final playlist of videos about Mark Carrikar, The last half of this playlist has been recorded during this current semester with the last video being upload about two weeks ago.
Please watch every video in its entirety (except for the "Dude, is this Heaven" video, feel free to only watch the first 4 mins of that one). I recognize that many of the moments in these videos are not directly about Mark dying, are they likely to be what you remember from these videos two years from now. However, I believe these moments correctly set the theme of Mark's experience and give us a chance to appreciate the full gravity of his situation.

Topic: Hume claims that in spite of the controversy surrounding liberty and necessity, all of humankind have ever agreed in the doctrine of liberty as well as in that of necessity (63). First, explain Humes claim. Next, Explain how Kant might respond to Humes position given his Prolegomena (see especially pages 78-81).
Notes:
1. Develop your response by making decisions about which passages, ideas, and concepts you will focus on, and by formulating a claim or claims that you will support in your paper. You do not, and cannot, say everything there is to say, nor should you try to summarize everything. Rather, you want to structure your essay according to a specific idea or two that you want to elucidate. You want to cite specific passages and explain them. Your paper should be narrow and focused rather than broad and general. The question(s) above is a general context for your inquiry. Also, while your paper can have a critical element, your paper should not simply be a critique o
