“Six Major Ethical Systems”
• Relativism – Ethical decisions are made on the basis of self-
interest and needs.
• Utilitarianism – Ethical decisions are made on the basis of
the outcome resulting from these decisions. An action is
ethical if it results in the greatest benefit for the largest
number of people.
• Universalism – Ethical decisions stress the intention of the
decision. Everyone under similar circumstances should
reach similar decisions.
• Rights – Ethical decisions stress a single value; liberty, and
are based on individual rights.
• Distributive Justice (Fairness & Equity)
• External law
