Freeman Children's Starter: Come up with 2-3 questions for our guest skyper: Justice Castenada
Justice's Bio
Unicorns' Starter:
What moral philosophy does your stance most align with or how would you use one of these philosophies to justify your position? Utilitarianism, Deontology or Rights Ethics or Rawls’ Veil of Ignorance or some combination of the four?
a. For example: You might say that if you were to make a decision behind the veil of ignorance for the affirmative action policy of University of Texas and were ignorant as to the position you would be born into in society, you would want to ensure that no matter who you are born as, UT’s affirmative action policy would be the most just/fair. Based on that consideration, you would explain why your position on AA is most just.
