Ethicаl Dilemmа Yоu hаve a friend whо is enrоlled in the same course as you at the VLC. Your friend comes from a single-parent household and is required to work in order to help make ends meet at home. A major assignment is due in your class; however, your friend has been working double shifts because their mother has been sick and unable to work as much. As a result, your friend has not had sufficient time to complete the assignment. If they fail one more assignment, their overall grade will fall below the scholarship cutoff required for admission to the university they hope to attend in the fall. Your friend has asked you to share a copy of your completed assignment “just as an example.” You are concerned, however, that they may copy your work in order to meet the deadline. Considering different ethical philosophies, what would you do in this situation? Support your decision using course content and ethical reasoning. You should apply at least two different ethical approaches. (10 marks)
Aesthetics & Emоtiоn (16 mаrks) Sоme philosophers аrgue thаt art’s power lies in its ability to evoke emotion, while others maintain that artistic value exists independently of emotional response. In Of the Standard of Taste, David Hume suggests that aesthetic judgments depend on refined taste and that beauty is not an inherent property of objects, but rather exists in the mind of the observer. Instructions:Your response should be well organized, analytical, and supported by relevant examples from a variety of art forms. Write a structured essay addressing the following components (no in-text citations required): 1. **Introduction (2 marks)** - Clearly define the concepts of formalism and emotionalism in aesthetics. - Introduce Hume’s perspective and briefly outline what your argument will be. 2. **Philosophical Debate on Aesthetic Value (5 marks)** - Explain the formalist approach: Why do some philosophers argue that artistic value is based primarily on form, technique, structure, and composition? - Explain the emotionalist approach: Why do others believe that art derives its value from its capacity to evoke emotional responses? - Analyze the tension between these perspectives. Which art forms most clearly illustrate this debate? 3. **David Hume’s Perspective (4 marks)** - Summarize Hume’s view of beauty, particularly what he means when he claims that beauty exists “in the mind of the observer.” - Explain the role of refined taste and experienced judgment in determining artistic value. - Evaluate how Hume’s theory relates to the formalism–emotionalism debate. Where does his position best fit? 4. **Personal Argument & Justification (4 marks)** - Clearly state your own position: Do you agree with Hume’s subjective account of beauty, or do you believe art possesses objective aesthetic qualities? - Support your position using examples from multiple art forms (such as painting, music, literature, or film). - Explain how your chosen examples effectively support your argument. 5. **Conclusion ( 1 mark for depth & clarity)** - Provide a strong closing statement summarizing your stance. - Discuss why understanding aesthetic philosophy matters in evaluating art today.
