Ethical worldviews
Select two ethical worldviews from the course. You may select from ethical relativism,
ethical egoism, virtue ethics, utilitarianism (act or rule), or Kant’s moral theory. You
may not refer to both relativism and egoism, only one of those two.i. Again, begin with an introduction to your
essay. The introduction should state
which two ethical worldviews you will talk about, then,
ii. Explain the worldviews fully in your own words as if your reader has never
heard of them before.
iii. Apply the associated theories to some moral issue or dilemma. This can be either
real or from a favorite book, movie, or other bit of literature.
• Please clearly describe the situation before applying the theories.
iv. Finally, among all the ethical systems we studied, which one do you feel you use
the most to make your own ethical decisions and why?
