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.

This resources includes lesson powerpoints for the whole unit, an accompanying student booklet which follows the powerpoint exactly, as well as a summary / revision map, revision crossword and information sheet on Prescriptivism. It is all ready to teach and supports independent, student-led learning.
This covers all the points on the OCR specification with a focus on naturalism, intuitionism and emotivism. The three key approaches are explored through many scholars, including but not limited to Bradley, Hume, Ayer, Moore, Mackie, Prichard and Foot. Each approach is also individually evaluated. The resources also goes further including Hare’s proposal of prescriptivism. It encourages students to evaluate whether or not what is meant by the word ‘good’ is the defining question in the study of ethics; whether or not ethical terms such as good, bad, right and wrong have an objective factual basis that makes them true or false in describing something or reflect only what is in the mind of the person using such terms; whether ethical terms can be said to be meaningful or meaningless; and whether or not, from a common sense approach, people just know within themselves what is good, bad, right and wrong.

The value of fat in meat varies across cultures and, like all commodities, fat can be traded to markets where there is a demand for it. 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.
