Week 8: Morality in Theory and in Action: From Ethical Debates to Real-World Decisions
This is my week 8 blog post. I have been busy this past week, so I have not gotten quite as much done this week as I had hoped I would. I am now working on my presentation for my final project and I am consolidating all of my findings and information into my presentation. I decided to use this weeks blog post to discuss some of the issues that I have encountered during the course of this project and the changes I had to make throughout this project.
to start off, I want to discuss the original plans that I had going into this project and compare them to what I have now and what I will have by the end of this project. I originally planned on having very open-ended discussions with my friends and family members about the basis of morality and how it applied to their lives. This I changed because of advice from my mentors, who encouraged me to stick to a more rigid script of questions which is why I made the questionnaire. I also anticipated doing a lot more in-depth in-person interviews, however, I unfortunately could not do as many of those as I would have liked because of time and schedule. So I have not had as much time as I expected to do these interviews.
I also did not get to interview as many children and parent pairs as I had planned due to similar reasons. I did not realize at the start of this project just how hard scheduling these things would be. So instead I did my own academic research into child psychology and the influence of parent opinions on children, which is what I was hoping to learn more about in my interviews. So because I was unable to gather information from my interviews, my book research is what I will be using to speak to that part of my project because I was unable to gather much of my own information.
