Topic A: Economic Justice
Do you think that there should be equal opportunity in a just society?
What would you mean by this phrase? Do you think that it is a realizable
ideal? Describe John Stuart Mill’s concept of utilitarianism. Do you
see any advantages or disadvantages of applying this to our society?
Topic B: A "Perfect" Science
If psychology were to be an exact, or to use Mill's phrase, "a perfect"
science, then specific human acts could be accurately predicted. Would a
prediction be accurate if the person about to act becomes aware of the
prediction prior to the act itself? Does the fact that a prediction can
be known in advance disprove the possibility of predicting accurately or
is that fact just one more antecedent condition? Thoroughly explain
your view.
