I have made the claim that most people (I use ‘most’ in an informal sense) do not think out their ethical beliefs or positions. Most people, I have claimed, inherent these beliefs and positions from family, friends, churches, media, etc., and therefore, they express little, if any, consistency. They express but whims of the moment, so to speak. In an essay, discuss this position, present an argument in which you agree or disagree, or you may even argue (it should be cogent) that if my claim is true, it is certainly not problematic. (Papers that are successful will demonstrate knowledge of our readings throughout the course).
