challenging your character\u2019s world and ethical view(s)). (SLO1; SLO3; CT; COM)\n<\/div>\n
e. Part V (200 words minimum): Explain how your character has decided to respond to\n<\/div>\n
the ethical dilemma at hand and why he or she responded in the way you identified.\n<\/div>\n
Explain how your character\u2019s cultural background and historical setting (i.e. the\n<\/div>\n
historical, social, political, economic, cultural and global forces), and the broader\n<\/div>\n
conceptions of ethical behavior embedded within, shaped your character\u2019s response.\n<\/div>\n
Consider at least one of the following: (1) your character\u2019s conception(s) of civic\n<\/div>\n
responsibility; (2) your character\u2019s understanding of the importance and role of the\n<\/div>\n
