2. Last summer a Google engineer was fired for a controversial memo he sent to various internal Google project groups suggesting that the low number of female coders had less to do with bias against women and more with the nature of the female brain. Essentially, he claimed, women aren't as interested in coding as men are. This eventually led to a public backlash against Google with demands to sack the engineer. In August, the engineer was terminated and now is suing Google on the basis of systematic discrimination against white males. From the short description above, you can see how complex this drama has become. Does the Identity Argument provide us with additional tools to evaluate this controversy beyond what conventional ethics offers? If you think it does, use the identity argument as an ethical tool to summarize what you think are the main moral features in the controversy. If you are not convinced we can effectively use the identity argument to sort through moral dilemmas, use the Google controversy to highlight weaknesses in the identity argument. Follow the link below to read the latest developments on the Google drama: Google drama

1. Define ethical terms and appropriately use the reading material.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of major arguments and problems in ethics.
3. Present and discuss well-reasoned ethical arguments.
4. Apply ethical concepts to life-oriented situations.
5. Apply critical thinking to readings in Ethics.
Discussion:
1. Ask several people of your choice to decide which of the two situations best illustrates the essential elements of morality. Who is ethical in his/her actions? Would you point out Betty or Peter?
A) Betty always makes personal sacrifices and helps other people in need, but she is emotionally cold and indifferent to the needs of others. She does not enjoy helping other people, but she simply does it. She knows that it is her moral duty to help others who need help. In addition, she does not enjoy life either. She knows that life is not always fair. Furthermore, she feels depressed when she analyzes her own life.
B) Peter always makes personal sacrifices and helps other people who are in need. He has a compassionate nature. Helping others makes him energetic and alive. He just likes to be helpful, and that makes his day. He likes to feel good about himself. He likes to think that his actions might make a difference in someone’s life. In addition, he thinks that one day he may need help. Helping others could bring him help in the future. Also, he likes to say that people are connected with each other. Nobody is a lonely island….
C) Who is a moral person? Who does an ethical job? Should we point out Betty, or Peter? What actions are moral, according to Kant? Using critical thinking and Kant’s “Grounding of the Metaphysics of Morals,” propose your interpretation and answers.
2. All discussion participants should apply excerpts from Kant’s text to this educational example with Betty and Peter. The purpose of this discussion is to stimulate analytical and synthetic skills in learning. Thus, students should select different parts of Kant’s text (analytical skills) and propose relevant and text-based conclusions (synthetic skills).
