A senior analytical course examining power, responsibility & moral choice through evidence, interpretation, institutions, ethics, and consequence.
LESSON 01
Define the problem
Analyze how greater capability expands duties because choices affect more people.
ETH-413 analytical lens 1
In Power, Responsibility & Moral Choice, greater capability expands duties because choices affect more people. This relationship matters because fictional systems distribute authority, constrain choices, and produce consequences that cannot be understood through event recall alone.
A strong analysis of greater capability expands duties because choices affect more people compares evidence across the cited works, identifies plausible alternatives, and limits its conclusion to what those sources support. Academy scholarship adds explanation without recreating protected narrative expression.
Analyze how good intentions do not remove obligations to examine means and consequences.

Analyze how secrecy can protect others while denying them participation in decisions.
ETH-413 analytical lens 3
In Power, Responsibility & Moral Choice, secrecy can protect others while denying them participation in decisions. This relationship matters because fictional systems distribute authority, constrain choices, and produce consequences that cannot be understood through event recall alone.

Analyze how moral character develops through revisable choices rather than fixed categories.
