Moral Argument
Moral Argument
For this discussion board, think of a moral argument that you or someone else you heard use in the past week. Break the argument down into its premise(s) and its singular conclusion. Explain why it is a moral argument, i.e. be sure to include and label both a descriptive and a prescriptive premise (see page 291 in our text).
Example Argument:
P1 (Prescriptive premise): People who aren’t in poverty ought to help those in need.
P2 (Descriptive premise): There are many people who live in poverty in Uganda.
Conclusion: Therefore, people who aren’t in poverty ought to help people in need in Uganda.
