1. Applied Ethics: Role and Function
While the philosophical is useful and necessary in terms of
anchoring ethical discussions and deliberations or
evaluating decision-making, moving into the realm of
application is important for our purposes. This
Learning Activity will help you explore the role of Applied
Ethics and its functions.
Ethics itself further breaks down into categories:
• Meta ethics deals with the large, philosophical questions of
ethics, including the meaning of moral terms (such as
the word “good” or “evil”), what the essence of moral
judgement is and where it comes from, and the apologetics of
ethics, that is defending judgements and definitions.
• Normative ethics deals with questions of what ought to be the
case in given scenarios, environments, or contexts.
• Descriptive ethics deals with what is the case in/with a person,
group, organization, or society. When Descriptive
ethics views sets side-by-side, this is comparative ethics.
• Applied ethics is studying the use/application of ethics or
actually setting parameters in specific realms or to
specific cases, for instance Bio-Ethics, Public Sector Ethics,
Business Ethics, or this competency which is all about
making decisions in leadership contexts.
