There are three substantial ethical theories in philosophy. Each attempting to prove the others wrong. These theories include: Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics, Mill’s Utilitarianism, and Kant’s Deontological Ethics. In their theories, each thought they had found the answer to finding the truth. Each theory has a hole in it that made others speculate it’s truth. I believe every theory brings an important piece to the puzzle. One theory alone cannot bring the truth. In this paper I will argue that one…

By consequentialist ethics, the church members’ prejudice toward the poor and their body language to despise him were not ethical actions. It’s because consequences determine the right or wrong actions. Their reaction didn’t produce the best results but the death of the poor man. Its consequence didn’t bring happiness to anyone.

Ethics and morals are weaved into multiple aspects of every persons life. They help shape people into who they are, and keep our nation united as a whole. I will be using this paper in-order to explain the similarities and differences between the of virtue theory, utilitarianism, and deontological ethics. I will also explain the idea of virtues, values, and morals with an example about my grandfather, and his time in the military, as-it relates to each of the above theories. Similarities and…

The defining feature of deontological ethics is that it decides whether an action is moral or immoral without considering anything else. For example, Kant argues that lying is never under any circumstances acceptable, no matter what the situation, as we cannot will for lying to be a…

Introduction My personal ethics include deontological ethics, beneficence, and nonmaleficence, all of which can be utilized in professional ethics.
