Several institutions, including the craft store Hobby Lobby and Wheaton College in suburban Chicago, have opted to decline birth control coverage to their employees or students because birth control use violates the religious principles of the governing organization. In the case of Wheaton College, the college has decided to end all student health care coverage in order to avoid violating the regulations of the Affordable Care Act. (See article below.)
In your opinion, are these institutions behaving ethically? (There is no RIGHT answer! You will graded on the strength of your thinking and writing, not on the position you take.) Your essay clearly delineates the ethical dilemmas involved.
Lewis R. Gordon the philosopher teaches that a sure sign that oppression is at work is an inversion of the normal relationship between the ordinary and the extraordinary, when ordinary things take extraordinary measures, and extraordinary things have become ordinary.
For example, going to school is an ordinary thing, if it takes extraordinary effort to get your child access to a decent school, that is an indication that oppression is at work.
Using this framework of the relationship between the ordinary and the extraordinary, what forms of oppression can we see at work in the lives of black folk in contemporary society.
Review From Peru and Case Study: Jacob to inform this assignment.
