Go to this link and choose "Should You Kill the Fat Man". This website will ask you questions and lead you through a classic ethical dilemma, all the while commenting on the consistency of your answers. Go through the preliminary questions, the 4 scenarios and the 2 analysis pages.
After you're done going through the scenarios:
Compose an email to me (to my GMAIL account, for a daily grade) in which you address the following questions:
1. What's disturbing to you about the scenarios in the Trolley Problem?
2. How consistent were you in your moral choices, and how do you feel about getting that score?

4. After 2 weeks of ethics study, how are you feeling about your personal ethics?
Finally:
Go to this link and read this philosopher's answer to the dilemma. Perhaps it offers another way to think about how one could/should react in the situation?
