The Intersection of Utilitarianism and Social Justice Theories

This exam explores the intersection of utilitarianism and social justice theories, focusing on how both frameworks address issues of equity and moral responsibility. Students will articulate key concepts from each perspective.

Understanding this intersection is critical for analyzing ethical frameworks that strive to promote social welfare and justice. The integration of these theories informs discussions about fairness, rights, and collective moral obligation.

Exam participants will be assessed on their ability to discuss the relationships between utilitarianism and social justice theories, articulating points of convergence and divergence. Clarity of verbal expression will be a key evaluation criterion.

Students should prepare to discuss relevant case examples that illustrate these theoretical interactions. Engaging with current social justice movements can enhance the depth of discussion during the examination.
