Extra Credit

Here is an optional extra credit assignment. It is due at the beginning of class on Tuesday, December 4th for the Mt. Laurel class, and Wednesday, December 5th for the Holy Cross class.

• Which do you think are more important in determining the morality of a particular action: the motives (intentions) that lead to that action, or the consequences (results) of that action? Explain and philosophically defend your stance. Use examples to help highlight the difference between motives and consequences.
  

The assignment is worth the value of a reading response (a possible 50 points).
