We have created a Haiku to explain Singer’s drowning child argument as well as the other perspectives of the issue (deontology and virtue ethics) in a concise manner. We hope that non-philosophy NUS students will understand the rationale for helping a starving child in a poor country through this poem.

Our project aims to ignite readers’ interest in philosophy via the topic of Famine and Affluence, through introducing them to the Utilitarian’s point of view. The project is simplified so as to target everyone, even if we just choose them on the streets.
W16G4
Our project draws inspiration from personality quizzes commonly seen in magazines/online surveys. The general idea is to help general audience identify which moral ethic they may subscribe to the most, and apply in their daily lives. Someone taking this questionnaire considers the scenarios and decides which option is more appropriate.

We aim to educate the general public – i.e., random people on the street – on the ethics of consuming factory farmed meat with Norcross’ puppy argument. The audience will be left to draw a conclusion by themselves on the similarities between factory farming and torturing puppies.
W14G6
A infographic about the difficulties in measuring total happiness gained or suffering as a way of deciding whether eating factory farmed meat is ethical. We will discuss the concepts as a group.
W15G6
This is the poster that our group designed, on the topic of eating factory-farmed meat. We hope that this poster will convey the message to the public that eating factory-farmed meat is morally wrong. We have presented this in a creative yet emotionally impactful manner!

This poster attempts to convince theists that the monotheistic conception of God is problematic. This is concerned with the problem of evil, specifically the two tenets of omnibenevloence and omnipotence. We intend to place this poster around religious institutions, in conspicuous places such as on lampposts, or as a flyer between the windshield wipers of their cars.

This poster aims to introduce, in a simplified manner, the underlying principles of three normative theories of ethics to a layman that may have heard of the Trolley Problem, but has little to no knowledge of the different normative ethical positions that constitute this moral dilemma.

The infographic presents an outline of an argument that supports the consumption of meat using Kantian Deontology. The target audience is NUS students.

Following the utilitarian approach, what matters is the overall net happiness of the world in the present and future. We will be comparing happiness generated from using renewable and non-renewable energy. Our stand will be to encourage young adults to use renewable energy to maximise happiness.

How would we choose when met with ethical dilemmas? This poster introduces a simple ethical problem to the layman, to kill five or one. The choice we make actually reflects our moral intuition, which can be explained by either of the three moral principles – Utilitarianism, Deontology or Virtue Ethics.
W10G1
This is a poster with Haikus and Comics depicting how the 3 different schools of thought – Deontology, Virtue Ethics, and Consequentialism – apply to everyday situations. Anybody interested in Philosophy will be able to understand their distinctions and applications.

We intend to do a poster about Problem of Evil, showing two sides of the argument. In order to make it so that people who didn’t study Philosophy will be able to understand it, we will use simple terms and analogies in our poster
W8G1
An outline of the Regress Argument for Skepticism. To comprehensively introduce the regress problem to beginners in Philosophy.

This project discusses the notion of moral responsibility through a case scenario. The story is visually aided by Simpsons characters to increase appeal and relevance to the young target audience. Ultimately, we hope to demonstrate the complexity of attributing moral responsibility, concluding in there being potentially no full moral responsibility.

The aim of our project is to educate and intrigue fellow NUS students about philosophical arguments on the moral acceptability of eating factory-farmed meat. This is done by highlighting two interesting points of view: Norcross’ puppy argument and Lomasky’s objection regarding Norcross’ argument.
W5G4
This project aims to target laymen and introduce the arguments made by Leibniz/Clarke, and its links to the theme of the Principle of Sufficient Reasoning. To reduce complexities, we have excluded the objections that were introduced. We endeavor to cause readers to wonder at the possibility of a self-existent being.
W5G2
We intend to do an infographic based on the topic: Moral Ethics- Right or Wrong. By creating an infographic, it is then possible to present the ideas of Deontology, Consequentialism and Virtue Ethics in a concise, fun and engaging way to the general audience of NUS. In addition, interesting questions for Food for Thought can also be included to induce students to think deeper into the issue.
