Ethics Definition: The process of determining right and wrong

Where do you stand? Is it wrong to take extra napkins from a fast- food restaurant? If you find $100 on the ground, what should you do with the money? Do animals have rights?

Situation Ethics Right and wrong depend on the situation Each case is unique. There aren’t any universal moral rules What is the loving thing to do in any given situation is the right thing to do Weaknesses?

Cultural Relativism Rules are set according to what your culture decides If your culture eats horses, then it is morally acceptable for you to eat horses too In what ways is cultural relativism demonstrated in the book Huck Finn?

Virtue Ethics Morals are internal Good people will do good things Who operates under this ethical system?

Utilitarianism Actions are judged right or wrong solely by their consequences Right actions produce the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people Each person’s happiness is equally important

Where Does Huck Fit? Situation Ethics- whatever seems best at the time Cultural Relativism- whatever society wants Virtue Ethics- morality is internal/good people will do good things Utilitarianism- actions are right or wrong based on their consequences
