UTT blog #3

Two parts for you to deal with. Mark tells you that ethics should be based on economics. Justify this, from a marxist perspective, in other words,"the ends justifing the means." Then, from a christian perspective, why can't this be true or right? If you can think of a real life example of this, great, bonus points.

A lot of times the ends DOES justify the means... example, World War II. tons of people died, we bombed Hiroshima BUT if we hadn't done that Russia would have taken over Japan with China's help and they would be a communist country... THEN they would have attacked us and we would also most likely be a communist country...

An example of when is doesn't is like getting a good grade on a test... but you cheated your way there... that end does NOT justify the means. Therefore, I think that statement is somewhat loaded. It depends on the situation.

Carlee, make sure you read the questions and answer what is being asked. What you wrote is good, but you didn't address all the issues. 18/25
