I'll lecture on it when we get to London, but it is really important for you to complete all the readings on theory. Let's use this post for 2 purposes:<br />
1. asking questions about the theories<br />
2. applying the theories to Case 4. We'll do this on a first-come, first-served basis. Whoever goes first gets first choice on which theory to apply. The second person gets second choice, and so on until everyone has posted a mini-analysis of Case 4 from the perspective on one of the theories. So, if Sarah posts first, she'll get her choice of which theory to apply. If she uses Utilitarianism, the next person won't be able to use that theory.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11841837902702090805noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238374006229525177.post-76606311958481578062010-12-13T08:48:00.000-08:002010-12-13T08:48:24.674-08:00Case 4 “The Dentist and Pt.
