Please select any two questions to answer. Your answers should be typed in Times New Roman 12 font size with 1.5 spacing. Each answer should be not more than 750-1000 words long. Clearly elucidate your argument, with reference to the reading material, and use examples and evidence to substantiate your point. All answers will go through plagiarism check so please do not indulge in malpractice. While it is important to highlight your own thinking in the matter, but all that should be backed by proper arguments, reasoning, and evidence in support of your claims. Intuitions, if any, should be defended with reasoning. Wish you all a good luck.
1) You cannot experience liberty in an unequal society? Reflect on this statement through your reading on liberty and equality?
2) Is it right to force people to be free? Discuss this in the light of your reading of negative and positive liberty.
3) Managing luck is a concern of justice. Discuss.
4) 'Imagine that a mad scientist created a machine into which he could place a human brain. This machine, which we shall call a “brain vat”, would not only keep the brain alive and functioning, but it would allow the scientist to create virtual stimuli and feed them directly into the brain. The brain would register all of these stimuli in exactly the same manner as normal human sensory experiences, as these are already interpreted as electrical signals anyway. In this way, the scientist could create an entire fictitious world that, to the captive brain, would feel completely normal.' (ref. [login to view URL])
A brain in a vat kind of experience perfectly aligns with utilitarian reasoning. Discuss critically the thought experiment with respect to your reading of utilitarianism.
5) It is unjust for resources to be distributed based on one's position in the social hierarchy. Discuss based on your readings.
6) With concrete examples from real life, or events around, discuss a case that clearly highlights the importance of complex equality as a concept for a just distribution of resources.
7) Reflecting on events of your own life (individual, social, or otherwise) describe how a capability based approach to justice had a bearing on your access to resources.
