  1. Situation Ethics – how much can you remember? Six Fundamental Principles: Love… Love… Love… Love… Love… Love… Who came up with the theory? Why? Key Words: • Personalism • Pragmatism • Relativism • Positivism • Legalism • Antinomianism • Situationism • Agape • Teleological • Protestant

  2. Applying the theory: • A 16-year old girl is pregnant through rape and wants an abortion. • A serial killer has been caught and there is public demand for him to be executed. • In the fictional “Omelas”, one child has to be locked away and mistreated in order for the rest of the city to be happy. How is it better than utilitarianism? How is it worse?

  3. Fletcher claims his theory is based on Jesus. Was Jesus a Situation Ethicist?

  4. Situation Ethics – Strengths and Weaknesses 1. Write as many as you can think of on magnets. Think of the theory as a whole as well as all the component parts. 2. Add them to the board. (Check if someone’s already said the same thing.) 3. Share and compare the whole thing.

  5. Evaluate how far Situation Ethics is effective as a way of making moral decisions (30 marks)
