Capella FP2000 – Making a Moral Decision

Ethics: Making a Moral DecisionThe three approaches to normative theory—virtue ethics, deontological ethics, and teleological ethics—have unique advantages and disadvantages. Describe a concrete situation that calls for making an ethical decision. Apply traditional theories of normative ethics to a concrete situation. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of each approach to ethical theory. Defend a coherent personal conviction about the best foundation for ethical conduct.For this assessment, you will invent a practical circumstance of your own choosing that illuminates differences among the three approaches to normative theory; a circumstance in which the duties, consequences, and virtues do not align with each other. It does not need to be a grand, controversial social issue; an everyday moral dilemma will make the conflict clearer. Just look for an example where doing your duty might cause lasting harm, or where caring about people requires breaking the rules.Begin by describing a concrete situation that calls for someone to make an ethical decision about what to do. Choosing your example carefully will make it easier to draw an interesting contrast between the theoretical applications. Be sure to describe the situation with enough detail to provide adequate information for arriving at a responsible choice. Submit responses in APA format.
