Moral values are the building blocks of individuals, and they help to shape a person's
character; hence, these are the preferences that are essential to any moral reasoning process.
Ethics is the art and science of critically evaluating the "is" by identifying the norms or
standards of behavior that are or may become the values that are applied through moral
reasoning. Contrasting forms of moral reasoning, or reasoning to conclusions on the problems
of ethics in our decision procedures are classified to three: first we may call consequentialist
reasoning, in which ends are identified as good and means are chosen that will lead to those
ends; the second is generally called nonconsequentialist (or deontological) reasoning, in
which rules are acknowledged as good, and actions are considered right or wrong based on
their adherence to those rules. A third, complementary to those two but not yet included in
the decision processes, is called virtue-based (or ontological) reasoning, in which the
responsibilities to act are determined by the type of person one is and the type of moral
society one belongs to (Newton, n.d). In consequentialism, the rightness of an act is tied to
the goodness of the state of situations that  creates it; in non-consequentialism, it is related to
its derivability from a rule; and in virtue ethics, it is associated to the character of the person
(Thames, 2018).
