Have you ever experienced a situation in which you were not treated in accordance with your merits, skills, or other relevant facts but instead based on assumptions about your group, race, class, gender, sexuality, etc.? What do you think was going on in the mind of the person or people who treated you this way? How would you describe the ethical problem in the situation? What exactly was unjust or unfair about your treatment?
Try to formulate a moral principle or guideline that captures this ethical concern. Can you think of any exceptions or counterexamples to the principle? Can you think of any unintended or negative consequences that might result from it? (refer to Chapter 13)
Write a one-page reflection.
