Our aim is to create more interest in learning philosophy, by showing how to do it in a fun way by using Singer’s argument as an example. Our audience is people with already some knowledge in philosophy (and in Singer’s argument) but they don’t have a lot of interest in it (yet).

This project is a short video that brings the layperson a brief glimpse into some of the topics that Philosophy entails. We hope the video will inspire him to think of these issues with new appreciation. We also wish to bring some comedic-relief to you amidst this (pre-determined?) busy month.

In reference to the Regress Argument for Skepticism, the video localises the trilemma and presents its prevalence in everyday Singaporean life. We hope to make the arguments more palatable for a general audience, as they identify themselves within the examples, and question the legitimacy of any knowledge we hold.

“The reason” aims to make everyone ponder – are we truly responsible for our actions? As Strawson would say, all our actions are in fact pre-determined by past events! Of course, do take this with a pinch of salt, for we all know we still face consequences for our actions.

Our group created a short film based on the story of Fred from the GET1029 topic “Eating meat” with a humorous twist. The film aims to follow Fred through the origins of his damaged Godiva gland and how he obtains his supply of Cocoamone. The film introduces the analogy presented by Norcross in his paper “Puppies, Pigs & People”.

The aim of the project video is to expose people to Norcross’ argument and the counter argument, especially targeting lay audiences who do not have prior philosophical knowledge and mindsets. The proponent stated is mainly based on Lomasky’s argument against Norcross’ argument, to which we’ve simplified into a light-hearted video for better understanding

Our short video applies the utilitarian perspective to the situation of organ donation, and we wish to engage a lay audience of any age interested in the more problematic aspect of adopting this paradigm – that is, the demandingness objection.

The topic that we will be focusing on will be the Cosmological Argument from Week 7. We want to explain to the layperson about how the principle of sufficient reason proves that a theistic God exists in an entertaining way. It will be animated with a voiceover.

Would you torture puppies if it enhanced your enjoyment of chocolate? What if we compared this to the torture that livestock experiences in factory farms? In this video, we use these examples to explain Norcross’ arguments against factory farming.

Our project gives a brief explanation of Nick Bostrom’s Simulation Argument, using hand-drawn illustrations. Our aim is to give the general public a basic understanding of how we argue that we might possibly exist in a simulation.

This light-hearted skit aims to tell students not to take philosophy (or in particular, eating meat) too seriously as it may be impractical and detrimental to health.

Our video describes the Tunnel Problem, a modern interpretation of the Trolley Problem where self-driving cars have to choose between protecting passengers or pedestrians in an emergency. We aimed to spark an interest about this ethical and moral debate among a lay audience.

This video aims to introduce Utilitarianism and Deontology through the eyes of an NUS student who has to decide between going to her Philosophy lecture or completing an essay due in four hours. Her imaginary Deontologist and Utilitarian friends pop up to give her their views.

Our group uses popular mobile application Snapchat to create our version of a typical personality test, thus exploring the (co-)existence of God and Evil in a fun and quirky way. If an omnibenevolent (totally good) and omniscient (all-seeing) God exists, would it be possible for Evil to exist?

Our group project is mainly targeted at audiences who hold strong views on how it is supposedly “right” or “wrong” to eat certain types of meat. Hence, this video seeks to educate in a light-hearted way the fact that there is no difference in moral status between different animals.

We aim to entertain laypeople by using an animation that contemplates whether eating factory-farmed food is justifiable. The animation portrays a date night that has gone terribly wrong because the guy is unable to give up factory-farmed food to earn the love of his partner.

The submission is a short original song and supplementary infographic explaining the references made. The intended audience is a layperson with minimal background in philosophy. The submission aims to bring together existing concepts in some well-known references and show that they can be organised as a single philosophical issue.

Plato and Descartes postulated the philosophical idea that our reality is an illusion. This video is aimed at
an audience not familiar with philosophy. Using imagery from pop culture, we aim to convey the key
concepts of their ideas and spark some curiosity.
