Ethics Class - catch up session, 10am-4pm

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Tara posts the class list on the door, as promised in her email, detailing the gaps in each student's participation. Penned at the bottom in a neat round hand is a note: Some of you may have discussed these with TAs out of class. Please inform me if this is the case.

She looks happy and well-rested as she sets up discussion stations around the room.

[ooc: I'll put names on the comment threads for the people who haven't completed them, rather than listing up here. Because I'm odd that way.]

Re: Duty of Care

[chasingangela]

"I think people who can't care for themselves are owed the best care society can provide for them -- food, shelter, interesting stuff to do, all of that.

They owe back ... I guess it, like, depends on their capabilities? I mean, a 16-year-old like me is pretty much responsible for taking care of herself. An infant just isn't. I guess kids owe their parents .... god, I hate to say respect, 'cause it's not like you get to choose your parents, or like all parents deserve respect. But I guess respect comes closest to what I mean -- stuff like, recognizing that they're people and have lives and don't necessarily always want to be a mom or dad first, and giving them space to exist.

And I think the responsibilities are to care for yourself as best you can, and become an adult when you're ready."
