The Trolley Car Problem Revisited Worksheet
Name: ________________________
A runaway trolley is speeding toward a group of four or five men working on the track. They do not see the trolley coming and will all be killed if no action is taken.

2. Explain how your personal code of ethics led to this decision.
3. In what ways does your answer now differ from your answer when you evaluated this problem earlier in this course?

Project
My Personal Code of Ethics
Purpose The purpose of the class project is for you to develop a personal code of ethics that uses course principles and vocabulary to more clearly define your core beliefs and to help you make ethical decisions as you move forward in life.
Project Logistics The project is to be completed individually. Project stages are due in Units 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11. The project builds on the weekly homework that students complete at the end of each unit.
Schedule The project is to be completed on the following schedule. Unit 4: Project Part 1: Reflection on Theories Unit 6: Project Part 2: Reflection on Ethical Poles Unit 8: Project Part 3: Reflection on Ethical Systems Unit 9: Project Part 4: Rough Draft Unit 11: My Personal Code of Ethics (PORTFOLIO)
Parts 1-3 are short think papers of about three pages each. The final paper is to be a well-reasoned, 10page paper. The rough draft should lay out the main principles of the final paper. You will receive the best results if your rough draft is about 12 or 14 pages long; forcing you to trim, focus, and sharpen your prose as you create your final submission.
The final paper must describe your personal code of ethics. With a blend of theory, examples, and references to personal experience, you will create a comprehensive structure of your ethical belief system that addresses your beliefs and obligations to society, to other individuals, and to yourself.
The full requirements for each submission can be found below. Read the requirements for the final submission carefully before writing the earlier project parts.
