This resource helps students to consider the concept of moral dilemmas. There are tasks in which students are asked to consider how they would approach various dilemmas, Phillipa Foot’s ‘Trolley Dilemma’ is discussed in relation to absolutist vs situationist approaches and ideas around judging morality based on consequences or intentions are discussed. There is also a basic consideration of how religious groups may approach these ideas. Overall, the (fully editable) PowerPoint is 32 slides in length and likely to take 2-3 lessons to complete. It was originally created to cover two 1-hour lessons, but always seems to take longer if you let the debates run! A NOTE ABOUT MY POWERPOINTS: All slides have information for delivery provided in the ‘Notes’ section. Gold boxes contain information that can be read to the class; it’s also a good opportunity to select a student to read for literacy. Blue ‘TASK’ boxes are always tasks to be completed (these may link to an extra resource that has been provided, such as a worksheet). There will also be a ‘sound level icon’ suggested for these (there is also a slide at the end full of sound levels icons that you can use to edit). Some tasks also have key careers/employability skills indicated. Orange ‘CONSIDER’ boxes are questions that can be discussed as a class or in groups. Green ‘EXTENSION’ boxes are extra work/challenge for those who complete the main blue box tasks or are otherwise ready for something more difficult. Red boxes generally have some information hidden behind them and will reveal as you click through the PowerPoint.

However, there is some debate about trading fat as a commodity and whether we should allow cheaper fatty meats to be sold for human consumption. This article looks at the trade of 'belly flaps' from Australia and New Zealand to Pacific island nations such as Fiji. This is part of 'Big Picture: Fat' (www.bigpictureeducation.com/fat), which was published by the Wellcome Trust in December 2015.
