Hello I Am Looking For Someone To Write An Article On Moral Luck It Needs To Be
Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Moral luck. It needs to be at least 1250 words. Concepcion (2002) describes the “standard view of responsibility” whereby “it is unjust to hold a person morally responsible for that which she did not control. Agents deserve to be morally appraised or held liable only for that which they controlled” (455). The problem this poses is that at some level it can always be argued that a situation was outside of a person’s control. There will invariably be some uncontrollable factor that, when joining the confluence of other factors over which a person did have control, it can be argued was the cause of any given scenario.
For example, if a person driving a vehicle strikes a child who suddenly runs into the road, it might be argued that the person could have been paying closer attention and thereby braked sooner, or should have been driving more slowly. On the other hand it could be argued that a reasonable person under the circumstances could not have predicted the child running into the road, and therefore this was just bad luck and the driver should not be held responsible. This epitomizes the concept of moral luck.
