Unit quiz: Ethical approaches, freedom and mind

Check understanding, separately from reading

5 questions · 80% to pass · no timer. This quiz checks the lessons in this unit. These authored questions assess recognition and application of the taught distinctions, not professional qualification. You may review the lessons and retry. Repeat attempts reuse the question bank; a remembered answer is not proof of transfer to a new situation.

Saving a lesson records reading only. Previous lesson completions have not been converted into passing scores. You can continue reading without a pass; the assessment remains unpassed.

Question 1

A policy that helps many but severely harms a minority cannot be evaluated just by counting beneficiaries. Magnitude and distribution of harms matter.

Question 2

A beneficial research outcome does not automatically permit deceiving participants without limits. Respect for persons can constrain the means of acquiring knowledge.

Question 3

Courage differs from recklessness because the courageous person attends to worthwhile ends and proportionate risks rather than seeking danger for itself.

Question 4

A compatibilist may distinguish acting from one’s considered reasons from acting under coercion even if both have causes. Causation and coercion are different ideas.

Question 5

A neural signal accompanies seeing red. That association can guide science while leaving debate about whether subjective experience is fully captured by physical description.
