The аuthоrs оf оur reаdings this week аrgue that ethics (including environmental ethics) is not about giving "right answers" like we might expect to find in math or science.What, then, is the value of "doing" or studying ethics at all?*** Remember that copying/pasting from our eBook/course materials, the internet, or using AI like ChatGPT to help “write” or “proofread” or “improve” your answer violates my Academic Integrity policy.

Cоnsider the fоllоwing sаmple legаl аnalysis of this question. In light of this model answer, briefly draft several sentences reflecting on the strengths and weaknesses of your analysis above. Alex's IIED Claim Against Brian Issue and Conclusion. The issue is whether Alex can make out the prima facie elements of IIED. The severe-distress and intent elements are satisfiable, but the claim turns on whether Brian's conduct was extreme and outrageous—a genuinely contestable question. Rule. An actor who by extreme and outrageous conduct intentionally or recklessly causes severe emotional harm to another is subject to liability for that harm, and for any resulting bodily harm. Recklessness means disregarding a known or obvious risk of causing severe emotional harm. Relevant to outrageousness are the actor's motivation and whether the victim was especially vulnerable in a way the actor knew about. Extreme and outrageous conduct. Although Brian will say that a knife-throwing act is a recognized form of street entertainment, the outrageousness here lies less in the throwing than in what Brian did after Alex became frightened. Once Alex cried out, Brian mocked him in front of several hundred people and threatened him with being struck by the next knife—all while Alex stood blindfolded, arms out, whimpering, and unable to see. Brian also never explained what volunteering entailed before blindfolding Alex, and never offered him an exit. Intent or recklessness. Recklessness is the stronger theory. Alex's whimpering made the risk of severe emotional harm obvious, and Brian responded by escalating rather than stopping. Ignoring an obvious risk of severe emotional harm, when an easy precaution—pausing the act—was available, satisfies the standard. Severe emotional harm. This element is comfortably met: Alex was diagnosed with a panic attack at the emergency room and has suffered daily panic attacks for months. Even in jurisdictions requiring objective proof of distress, the diagnosis and ongoing symptoms suffice. Case comparison. In Womack, the defendant obtained and supplied the plaintiff's photograph under false pretenses, causing him to be implicated in a molestation case, and the court found IIED. Like Brian, the Womack defendant achieved his effect through deception about the nature of what the plaintiff was involved in, and inflicted distress on a plaintiff who could not protect himself. Brian's conduct is distinguishable, though, in that it occurred openly during a performance and served an entertainment purpose rather than a purely gratuitous one. Counter-argument. The best counter is that outrageousness must be assessed in context, and the context is a public performance that Alex walked into. Frightening the volunteer is the point of a knife-throwing act; if this is outrageous, so is every haunted house. Factually, we do not know whether Brian could hear Alex's whimpers over a crowd of several hundred, which bears directly on recklessness, nor whether the crowd's reaction signaled that Brian had crossed a line. We also do not know whether Alex had a prior history of panic attacks—relevant both to whether he was especially vulnerable and to whether Brian knew or should have known it, since knowledge of vulnerability is what often pushes borderline conduct over the outrageousness line.
