AS101 Lecture 8: Chapter 8
Document Summary
To argue that because one bad case is permitted, similar bad cases should be permitted too. People who have tenure don"t write half as much as sessional instructors and don"t put any work into teaching. When i get tenure i"m going to slack off too, stop doing research, and stop caring about my classes. The fact that tenured professors might "slack off" does not mean that the speaker should do the same when he or she gets tenure. Consistency demands that if it is wrong for tenured professors to act this way, it would be wrong for the speaker to act this way too. The last time i saw tom he was incredibly rude to me. If he"s at the party this weekend i"m going to give him a taste of his own medicine. The problem here is the same as it was in the previous example.
