The source of my case is https://www.scu.edu/the-big-q/the-big-q-blog/you-dont-say-that.html
Five important facts are:
1. Does American culture condone this type of language? Does the unconscious use of these terms contribute to harmful stereotypes or does everyone understand that they don’t really mean anything?
2. Justin overhears Linda telling one of her friends to “Man up.” He confronts her about the term, saying that man up implies gender norms. Linda doesn’t understand why he’s so upset with this term.
3. Linda overhears a conversation occurring at the beer pong table. One of her friends, Justin, is disappointed that his teammate is taking so long to finish his drink. She overhears him say, “That’s so gay.”
4. She tells him “gay” shouldn’t be a slang-term for lame or stupid.
5. He tells her that he is fully accepting of homosexuality and didn’t mean any harm with his words. She says that it is used universally and isn’t supposed to insult anyone.
Three questions to ask about the case are:
1. Should comments like these be acceptable?
2. How you defend these comments?
3. Do we like in a society that condones these types of comments?
Add the following three additional questions to your list of questions:
What does virtue ethics say about this case?
What does utilitarianism say about this case?
What does deontology say about this case?
