Lockdowns,

rite an essay of no fewer than 500 words and no more than 750 explaining your view on the ethics of “lockdowns,” that is, the shutting down by governments of schools, businesses, outdoor or indoor gatherings including religious services, for the purpose of preventing the spread of Covid-19 (the Wuhan virus). What is at least one ethical issue, and where do you stand? If you wish, you can also focus on mask mandates.

Your analysis MUST include at least two theories that we covered. A mere report of your opinion on the matter will not earn any credit. One of the theories must be classical (Aristotle, Christian ethics, Stoicism) and one must be modern (utilitarianism or Kantian ethics).

you should locate a positive (supports your view) and a negative (opposes your view) article, op-ed, or news article. A Works Cited page is required according to Purdue Owl (see the link at this folder).

There should be a clear thesis and conclusion, and awareness of a counterargument is necessary.

I can also provide more therioes that we covered in the class
