Document Summary

Ethics = a set of moral rules about how we should make decisions when our behaviour affects other people. Ethical dilemma: a decision where you need to choose one from two or more actions that have moral implications. At each stage throughout development, we use different logic and reasoning to decide what"s the right thing to do in a moral situation. Following law and order and the social system. Doing what is best for the community and rights respecting basic human rights. Following self-chosen ethical principles and going against the law if necessary. When a behaviour is deemed ethical: consequentialism, deontology, kantian ethics. = if it follows the rules, regardless of its consequences. = if it was made with the right intention. When we have strong emotions in moral situations, we reach a moral judgement intuitively and then look for justifications for our judgement. There is a slight bad/disgusting smell in the environment.
