Fennel (2006) states ethics is originally derived from the Greek word ethos, which means ‘habitual mode of conduct’ and conduct will ensure that good is being done.

of pure reason. Central to his work is “the categorical imperative,” that is, the formal procedure by which all rational beings may evaluate the moral worth of an action on the basis of its universalizability. In this essay, I will examine Kant’s ethic, specifically the categorical imperative, and assess the problems that arise within it. The fundamental basis of Kant’s moral philosophy appears to exist in opposition to those of other moral theories, namely consequentialism and teleologicalism…

In Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics he searches for what is good for man. How every single thing we do is aimed to be virtuous. The requirements for virtuosity are that the virtues must be active; they must be voluntary, meaning it’s by choice, and virtuosity cannot be prescribed. When virtue is an established characteristic, those virtues become enjoyable leading to The Good Life. We aim to be virtuous because our goal is to live The Good Life. The Good Life is to achieve happiness,…

In Sterba’s Subjectivism in Ethics how should we as individuals question some strong ethical questions. In the reading Sterba uses the example of gay rights. Is it okay, or is it wrong.

“Law is reason free from passion” Aristotle. He has been a philosopher I have build much of my life around, however I do not fall within his ethics as a lifestyle. I strive to ensure rules and regulations are followed strictly and precisely. I had lost much of my passion for life. I joined the United States Army at the age of 17, just months after September 11, 2011. My family tradition to uphold our great nation 's lifestyle was my only concern. Raising my right hand to say those words, “I,…

for him to live a lifestyle on charity dollars. It was not as if he was taking twenty dollars here or there he took large amounts for personal use. They also misrepresented all of the charity work that they stated that they had done. From a business ethics point of view, the conduct of the CAI board was worse, because they continued taking money from people and misrepresented where the funds were actually going. CAI would keep Mortenson in a ‘visionary’ capacity to keep the money coming in,…
