Humanities- QEP Assignment

Humanities- QEP Assignment
As you probably already know, each class is required to complete a Work Ethics Project. For your project, you will view two separate videos (see below): One on Kantianism and one on Utilitarianism. This will be followed by a Scenario.
Part I: Following reading the scenario, you will write a 300 word or more paragraph that answers the question: What should the coach do? You must apply your response to one of the two ethical philosophies viewed in the videos.
Part II: Relate your response to the pandemic crisis we are now facing. How does your response to Part I relate to responding to CDC guidelines for physical distancing, wearing masks in public, avoiding large groups of people, and washing hands frequently? Explain.

Ethical Dilemma:
The Institute for Global Ethics also proposed the following ethical dilemma to promote a global understanding of ethics and to promote ethical decision making:
The mood at Baileyville High School is tense with anticipation. For the first time in many, many years, the varsity basketball team has made it to the state semifinals. The community is excited too, and everyone is making plans to attend the big event next Saturday night. Jeff, the varsity coach, has been waiting for years to field such a team. Speed, teamwork, balance: they’ve got it all. Only one more week to practice, he tells his team, and not a rule can be broken. Everyone must be at practice each night at the regularly scheduled time: No Exceptions. Brad and Mike are two of the team’s starters. From their perspective, they’re indispensable to the team, the guys who will bring victory to Baileyville. They decide-why, no one will ever know-to show up an hour late to the next day’s practice.
Jeff is furious. They have deliberately disobeyed his orders. The rule says they should be suspended for one full week. If he follows the rule, Brad and Mike will not play in the semifinals. But the whole team is depending on them. What should he do?
