Outline 4
Construct a detailed outline of one of the readings from Module 1 (your choice. A good outline will include a thesis of the article, as well as the important arguments and points offered in support of that thesis.
The outline is worth 20 points and should be no less than 250 words in length.
Outside research is not necessary, but if you use external sources you must provide complete citations. Your outline will automatically be checked for text that matches websites and other submitted outlines. Failure to cite your sources is academic misconduct and will result in a failure of the assignment.
I have provided a copy of how the outline should look!

Right and Wrong Outline
Introduction
The ability to choose right over wrong and vice versa has become a challenge to morality. Because some morals claim that people have no substantial reasons to care about others, others argue that if a person has no intentions of harming you, you should have an excuse not to harm them (Nagel, p.47). To say something is wrong does not only mean it is wrong because of the rules, but also because there can be rules which prohibit what is not wrong. For example, the law does not support criticizing the government and supporting racial segregation in restaurants and hotels. From my point, people should care and do right to others.
Because:
I) People have humanity, and if a person has no intentions of harming you, you should have a reason not to harm them, which supports doing right over wrong.
II) You should do to others what you would like to be done to you.
III) Doing wrong shows betrayal and unfairness to others because an individual does not care who gets hurt or how others will be affected by his/her actions. It also indicates that the person has no reason not to kill, steal or hurt others against morality.
IV) Inconsiderate behaviors are a threat to other people’s interests. For example, stealing hurts the victim and brings resentment.
V) Every person should have a reason to consider their actions and how the effect is on others’ good or harm.
Conclusion
There is a different percentage of humanity in every person, which means every one cares for someone. The urge to do right and caring for others shows humanity and differentiates human beings from all other creatures. But in most cases, some people are too blinded by greed and selfishness that they no longer care about anyone else, which is wrong in many ways and does not support humanity.
