Moral

every action that produces a good consequence is morally right. Consequences are only the results of our actions, and although they have some say in the morality of an action, they do not totally justify the action. In the world, there are universal moral rules that most people base their everyday decisions on. The most commonly known one would most likely be the Golden Rule, which states, “do unto others…

that may or may not align with your personal ethics (Kerns Sampson 3). He goes even further to explain that ethics laws, like the “Respect for Fallen Heroes” should actually be named codes of conduct, and that all ethical laws can address is moral choice. Moral judgement, on the other hand, is left of the person making the decision (3). With this understanding in mind, now the real answer of WBC’s actions being ethical or not can be answered. Yes, according to the law now in place, they are…

scientists to consider their intentions are from goodwill, the will to do the right thing morally. Furthermore, Kantian ethics obligates the scientist to ensure their will is consistent by formulating a maxim. This maxim places the scientists to a moral obligation to their subjects as well to themselves. Since Kantian ethics considers what is best for the individual, using Kantian as a foundation for ethical decision making would ensure that venerable test subjects would be protected from…

they believe to be true to them. Ethical Relativism hypothesizes that beliefs might be different for every individual, simply because different people believe different things to be true. Ethical Relativism establishes that there are no moral absolutes and no morals are right or wrong. I believe that ethical relativism is not true and the reason I believe this is because it is conflicting to say the same rule is to be considered right in one society and wrong in another. If “right” and…

looking at is Ethics. It appears that in this area, culturally derived concepts shape the moral conclusions (for example values) that people reach thus leading to apparent diversity. In order to challenge this apparent diversity one can explore two contrasting principles Cultural relativism and Soft Universalism. Cultural relativism states that there is a diversity of ethical codes and that there are no universal moral principles. The first example I will be using to prove this is taken from…

intertwine: duty and friendship. If the path to a meaningful like was a meal, duty would be the appetizer that sets the standard for the main dish, friendship. This is because Cicero believes the guide to everyone’s lives and beliefs should be based on is moral goodness,…

and ‘morally wrong’ of the action that is occurring and is than determined by the rate of good to bad that a given action would make. Nonconsequential principles focus on the task being done rather than right or wrong. Ethical theories lead to what moral outcomes should be. However, we will see later my belief on which theory is the best way to know right from wrong.…

it. In other words “truth may be true for one but not for another since everyone has different interpretations based on different human conditions” (Christian Part one 6). This creates problems because if everything is relative, then so are morals. The morals of relativism are severely warped. Anything goes because anyone who follows relativism can justify their actions by saying they believe it was right. If truth is relative and not absolute in any area then how can the bible be true…

Social Norms and Social Stratification are two of the most important characteristics to society. They help form the basis that any individual should comply to in order to fit well with society. Norms are the beliefs, values and behaviours that society has come to a consensus about. They essentially regulate interactions between individuals, giving “internalized culture” Norms are not meant to be thought about, it is not like every person within the society came together and made a chart about…

“Performance character must always be regulated by moral character to ensure that we do not do bad things. (Seider, 2012, p. 7) The moral consideration for me come from my upbringing. Subsequently, I choose this because a lot of the moral character displayed by White people, does not walk the walk of what they talk. Earlier in the course I recognized the conflict that could be caused when school seek to explain or direct student in a specific moral direction, and how that direction could be…
