1) When visiting a foreign country, do you believe it is appropriate or inappropriate to adopt the local norms of the society during your stay there? What if the norms conflict with promises you have made or ethical obligations you have to other people "back home"?
2) Rule utilitarianism propose to the test a moral rule ("lying is wrong" or "lying is wrong except to prevent great damage to other person") in term of the consequences for human happiness of observing or violating the rule. Does this proposal do justice to "the moral point of view," that is right, duty, and moral law theories?
3) Suppose that you are opposed, for whatever reason, to racial or sexual discrimination what method of value reasoning could you effectively use to change an individual, class, or nation that practices such discrimination? In other words can ethical reasoning bake any bread?
