Why Be Moral?

Plato tells the story of Gyges (The Republic, Book II), a shepherd, who finds a magic ring. When Gyges turns the ring 180˚, he becomes invisible, and upon turning the ring again, he reappears. Under the cloak of invisibility he performs a series of unethical and immoral acts, including murder. He is a villain and rogue yet becomes wealthy and famous. Gyges not only accrues benefits by appearing to be moral but also enjoys the bounty reaped from wrongdoing with no punishing consequences – he will never be caught!

Now imagine a second magic ring given to a just and upright individual. Will the temptation to engage in wrong-doing for personal gain be too great? Knowing there will be no punishing consequences, would a good person quickly turn into a scoundrel? Given the situation just described, why the need to be moral?

What would you do if you were given a Gyges ring?

This week I'd like for us to discuss the different styles of punishment in schools. Many parents/teachers are worried about the state of discipline in schools these days (e.g., kids acting up in class, bullying, bringing guns to school).

List 1 style of punishment (e.g., time out) that is used in preschool and kindergarten classrooms. This style can be one you have seen, one you use, one you've heard of, anything!

Then answer the following questions:

• Is this punishment an effective tool for discipline?
• Is it a nurturing style of punishment? (For example, it may be effective but seem cruel, or it may be nurturing and not effective, or it may be both effective and nurturing.)
• Would you engage in this punishment style as a teacher?
• In general, do you think teachers are too permissive or too strict?

Coercing people into donating their eggs for surrogacy definitely mirrors the discussion of kidney sales. I know adoption can be expensive, just like surrogacy. The only dramatic difference I can see between adoption and surrogacy, is that in surrogacy you are getting a child that is actually yours, biologically. An adopted child is not biologically from you, but a desired child nonetheless. Do you think the adoption process is treating children as a commodity ?
