1 . What is the impact of ethics in a person’s values and attitude?

We can improve our personal and professional lives by adopting ethical


principles, even if we are facing difficult situations. Ethics give us a foundation for
distinguishing between good and bad, leading us in our actions and choices.
Additionally, ethics can aid us in resolving conflicts and making decisions, while
also motivating our employees.
2. Give example or scenario that may apply in each ethical principle.
While sitting next to a classmate during an exam, you observe them struggling
with a particular question. In response, you take a moment to review your own
work and ensure the accuracy of your answers. If you happen to discover an error,
you immediately rectify it to ensure the correctness of your response.
3. Differentiate the forms of ethical theory
Deontology
is an ethical theory that states that individuals must stick to their commitments and
responsibilities when making ethical decisions. If someone follows through with
their plans, it is deemed morally acceptable due to their obligations to others. By
adhering to an ethical code that includes a specific set of obligations for each
person, deontologists can make consistent choices.
Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism relies on the ability to predict the outcome of one's actions.
Utilitarians believe that the morally correct decision is the one that benefits the
greatest number of people. They evaluate potential solutions to determine which
option would be the best for the majority of individuals.
Rights
An ethical theory that centers on rights places emphasis on protecting the rights
that a society has established. These rights are deemed legitimate and morally
sound when they are accepted by a large number of people. Moreover, individuals
who possess the capacity to acquire rights may also be granted them.
Virtue
The virtue ethical theory focuses on a person's character rather than just evaluating
their actions. It considers the individual's background, morality, and personality
when assessing behavior. Motive is also important when evaluating immoral
actions. For example, if someone plagiarizes, a peer who knows them well will
take action based on their understanding of the person's character.
