Ethics and Morality Theory Part 2 28 January 2008

Recap Ethics: study of the systems of belief about morality Our focus: ethical dilemmas When ethical principles conflict Conceptual muddles: when the answer in cyberspace and physical space may be different Looking at normative ethics: frameworks that define what we should do

Specifically, we will look at Ethical relativism Individual (or subjective) Cultural Normative ethical theories Deontological Kantianism Contractualism Teleological Utilitarianism

Ethical Relativism Is there anything universally right or wrong? How is right or wrong decided?

Individual Relativism Is this the same as tolerance? For Well-meaning, intelligent people can disagree Against Does not provide moral distinction. What does morality mean? Not based on reason People are good at rationalization

Exercise Write down your view on sharing of electronic media (music, video, writing, software) Break into small groups and discuss

Cultural Relativism Consider Hampden-Turner and Trompenaars work For Different social contexts Arrogance to judge Are there examples when we should impose views on a society? Against Evolution of practices Societies do share core values

We will not consider relativism any further

Normative Ethical Theories Deontological: based on the sense of duty Right because of the act Teleological: based on the result Right because of the result Exercise: Break into groups and come up with an original example of how they differ Is there an ethical issue here?
