Moral

learnt some ethical theories in the class, so I figure out that some of them are useful for me. Ethical theories comprise two categories: consequential and non-consequential, while utilitarianism theory is part of consequential, being an action of moral which plays an important role in business.

Ethics is something that is determined by the individual. What seems correct to one person, may not be correct to another. There are, however, certain “rules” that a person in society must obey to live their life to full potential. In The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, there are several characters that break these “rules” and are therefore considered unethical. For example, a seducer that “murderers” his newborn child (Dumas 187-188). There are also characters that are considered…

He suggests that this is due to the extrinsic injustice present, or the effects (136). Moral condemnation also depends on whether the attitudes producing the acts were widespread, and whether the acts figure in an “accumulative harm” (137).

researching ethics for this essay, I realized that there is a significant distinction between ethics and morality. These were two things that I had considered one and the same. However, ethics is “the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation” (Merriam-Webster.com, n.d.). Morality is “conformity to ideals of right human conduct” (Merrian-Webster.com, n.d.). Utilizing the word conformity to define morality seems to present an opposition to ethics, in that…

He claims to favour the interests of the city over all but then shows his true colours by both acting and ranting like a tyrant. Antigone is steadfast and determined in her aim - she fully believes that the rule of god must take precedence in this matter regarding death, as well as revealing her belief that it is the family that is more important than the state. In contrast, it is Oedipus’ desire to serve his adopted city, and to release it from its’ suffering, that propels him toward the awful…

There are many theories trying to answer this question, such as, Plato 's claim that "owning objects is detrimental to a person 's character", whereas Aristotle argues that "ownership of tangible goods helps to develop moral character." However, to truly answer this this question, we must first answer the question, what is ownership? If this question is asked, friends, relatives, even strangers, will state similar answers. People will say something along the lines…

When carrying out an investigation, especially if it involves human beings, it is essential to conduct it as ethically as possible as to respect other's welfare and rights. Ethics, also known as morals, allow us to recognize what is right and wrong. Notwithstand, considering that they rely on each one's values and life experiences, they can be highly subjective. Behavioural norms are standards of conduct learned and strengthened through the course of a lifetime that help us make judgements…

Moral judgement is a process which defines what is wrong, right, ethical, unethical, moral, or immoral. Moral judgement can also be defined as an expression of preference, opinion, will and command of individuals (383). Tom Regan and Mary Midgley both discuss the importance of moral theory and their different ways one can or can’t answer moral questions.
