Moral and Political Philosophy

1.) Read the following scenarios or issues from the Discussion and explain the problem or issue that it involves.

In a public park, a small religious group wants to place a statue commemorating their religious ideals. The City Council considers this and feels that there would be no harm in doing so, but as soon as all the other numerous religious groups in the area hear about it, they also want to place statues in the park as well.

What is the just way to resolve this issue and who should decide? Should the City Council allow everyone to place statues there even if that many would clutter the area, should they ban all statues, should they only allow statues of well-established religions or religions with very large followings in the community, should they hold a vote in the community to decide, should they take the issue to court and allow a judge to decide, etc? What should they do?

2.) Then choose TWO (2) thinkers and/or theories from the text and briefly outline what you think the respective view of each thinker /theory would be on this Discussion topic. Choose from John Locke, Friedrich Nietzsche, Thomas Hobbes, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and William Godwin

3.) Critique each thinker/theory’s view and determine which (if either) is more effective in this situation.
