The document discusses several topics related to ethics, including different types of justice (retributive, compensatory), the ethics of care, and communitarian ethics. It provides definitions and examples for each. The ethics of care emphasizes caring for those we have close relationships with and who depend on us. It is argued that relationships, not detached impartiality, should be the focus of ethics. Conflicts can arise between caring for others and demands of justice. Guidelines note the need to balance different moral obligations. Objections to the ethics of care include potential favoritism or caregiver burnout.
This document discusses the concepts of work, compensation, and just wages. It defines different types of wages such as nominal wages, real wages, minimum wages, and living wages. It also outlines Catholic social teaching on providing a just wage, and factors that should be considered in determining a fair wage such as cost of living, laws and regulations, job factors, and individual performance. Some issues in defining a just wage are differences in local costs of living, interpreting fair pay for different jobs, and the influence of economic conditions like supply/demand and inflation.
Deontological ethics focuses on adherence to rules of duty, rather than consequences. Actions are judged based on whether they conform to moral norms, regardless of outcomes. Key aspects of deontological ethics include: intentions matter more than consequences; actions can be right or wrong based on adherence to principles like duties, rights, and maxims. Examples of deontological theories include divine command theory and Kantian ethics. Deontological ethics differs from consequentialism, which judges actions based on their outcomes, and virtue ethics, which focuses on character development.
This document discusses the nature and morality of human acts. It defines human acts as actions that are consciously and freely done, requiring knowledge, freedom, and voluntariness. Human acts are distinguished from acts of man, which are actions beyond one's consciousness and control. The morality of a human act depends on its object, intention, and circumstances. Some acts are intrinsically evil regardless of intention due to their object. To determine the morality of an act, one must consider whether the object, intention, and circumstances together are good or bad.
Deontology is a duty-based ethical theory that focuses on acts being right or wrong based on whether they conform to moral rules and duties, rather than the consequences of the acts. Under deontology, the consequences of acts do not affect their morality - acts are prohibited if they violate rules of duty, even if they produce good outcomes. Some key aspects of deontology discussed in the document include it focusing on intention over consequences, certain choices being forbidden no matter their results, and the priority of doing the right act over producing good.
Ethical egoism holds that individuals should act in their own self-interest exclusively without moral duties to help others. The document discusses several arguments for and against this view. It presents objections that ethical egoism cannot resolve conflicts of interest and is arbitrarily biased toward the self. Alternately, recognizing our equal humanity and common needs provides reason to consider the interests of others, such as donating to relieve global famine. Overall the document critically examines arguments for and against ethical egoism as a moral theory.
This document discusses business ethics from several religious perspectives. It begins by defining business ethics and outlining some key considerations from an Islamic perspective, such as self-control and social responsibility.

Ethics involves moral standards that govern behavior and determine what is good versus bad. Ethical behavior follows principles of moral reasoning and can vary across cultures. Upholding ethics in business requires balancing universal moral standards with local cultural norms. Many factors influence individual and organizational ethics, including moral development, values, leadership, and structural influences within a company.
The document discusses the study of ethics. It defines ethics as the science of morality in human acts, derived from Greek and Latin terms meaning ways of living or tradition. Ethics examines human motivation and behavior. There are two main approaches - atheistic, which sees man as matter without spirit, and theistic, which sees God as the supreme lawgiver. Ethics, while relying on reason, is inseparable from religion and law. It guides values education and professional conduct beyond what laws require through moral codes.
Natural law is based on the idea that God created everything for a purpose and humans can understand this purpose through reason. Thomas Aquinas developed natural law theory, drawing on Aristotle, to provide a rational basis for Christian morality. Natural law dictates absolute morality - that actions must fulfill their natural purpose without flexibility for circumstances. Applying natural law involves determining if an action achieves its natural end through reason and observation of nature.
The document discusses several topics related to business ethics. It begins by explaining that business is an integral part of human society and exists to generate profit, but must do so ethically and within legal boundaries. It then examines why people pursue business for profit and how the profit motive can drive innovation but also requires ethical standards to avoid harming others. Several ethical issues that can arise in business are outlined, including ensuring a just living wage for workers, appropriate gift giving to avoid conflicts of interest, and how to properly blow the whistle on unethical or illegal conduct while protecting oneself. The document emphasizes that business ethics are needed to resolve moral problems fairly and avoid a purely subjective approach to right and wrong.
Culture influences one's moral development in several key ways according to the document:
1) Culture is communal and promotes relationships by establishing norms, rules, and standards of behavior for its members.
2) Culture defines normative principles and behaviors for the society and sets boundaries to protect the community.
3) Culture conditions the mind and helps generate the identity and moral character of its people.
1. Ethics is the philosophical study of morality and involves analyzing human conduct from the perspective of morality.
2. Philosophy seeks to explain reality and human experiences through reason alone, and ethics is the philosophical science that studies morality in human acts.
3. There are differing views on the nature of morality, including ethical relativism which holds that moral truths are relative to cultures, and universalism which believes in objective moral truths.
Justice and fairness are closely related concepts regarding impartial treatment. Justice means giving each person their due by considering only relevant factors, while fairness refers to judging without bias based on concrete details. When interests conflict over scarce resources, principles of justice and fairness are needed to reasonably determine what people deserve. Such principles include treating equals equally and unequals differently based on relevance to the situation. Justice in everyday life requires evaluating if actions treat all people equally and differences are justified. Fairness also matters by cultivating trust, responsibility and morality through consistent, unbiased treatment of all people and situations.
Business ethics and social responsibilitychimecheng
Business ethics examines the morality of business practices and decisions. While profit is important, businesses also have responsibilities to customers, employees, and society. The profit motive can encourage productivity but also rivalry and a narrow focus on money over other concerns. Overall, business ethics provides a framework for resolving dilemmas between moral and legal obligations in a way that promotes the common good.
- Gender fair language aims to reduce gender bias by using gender-neutral terms like "they" and gender-inclusive terms like "he or she".
- Sexist language devalues women and promotes male supremacy by making women invisible or trivial.
- The way we speak reflects and shapes our culture and socialization.
Virtue ethics is an approach to ethics which emphasizes the character of the moral agent, rather than rules or consequences, as the key element of ethical thinking.
John Rawls proposed two principles of justice as fairness: 1) Each person should have equal basic rights and liberties, and 2) Social and economic inequalities are justified only if they benefit society's least advantaged members and result from positions open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity. Rawls argued for these principles using a "veil of ignorance," where people designing society do not know which social position they will occupy, promoting impartial decisions. The two principles aim to treat all citizens with equal concern and respect while allowing inequalities that improve everyone's situation.

Chapter 5 Values and Ethical DilemmasBetty is advising a welfa.docxchristinemaritza
Chapter 5 Values and Ethical Dilemmas
Betty is advising a welfare recipient on how to deal with a welfare worker. The worker is required by law to ask the client where her former husband is and to give his Social Security number. Then the worker will turn over this information to the Department of Revenue, which will pursue the man aggressively for support. The welfare recipient knows where her former husband is, but is afraid to tell the worker because her husband had beaten her and she fears he would be abusive to her again. The woman asked what she should do. Betty knows it is wrong to lie to the worker, yet she also knows that it would be in the woman’s best interest to tell the worker that she doesn’t know where her former husband is. What should Betty tell the woman? What would you do?
Linda is a case worker in the child welfare department. The school guidance counselor has reported a mother for neglect of her child. The child is malnourished and listless. She cannot apply herself to her studies. Linda talked with the mother and found out that she formerly had received money from Transitional Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), but had reached that state’s two-year time limit and had been cut off from TANF. She tried to feed her child and often went hungry herself, but even with food stamps, she did not have enough money to feed the child adequately.
Linda’s supervisor advised her to place the child in foster care, but Linda knew that the agency did not have enough good foster parents and was having trouble recruiting them because so many women were working, and the agency did not pay enough to foster parents to make it worth their while to be foster parents. She could place the child in a foster home where there were already more children than the agency usually allowed, but would the child be any better off than in her own home? It would be traumatic for the child to be taken from her mother whom she loved. Yet she would probably get enough to eat in this foster home, even though the foster mother would not be able to give her the attention that she needs. What should Linda do?
Every attitude and value carries with it the seeds of conflict and insoluble dilemmas. Debates about the ethics of helping are not just mental gymnastics best left to university scholars or cloistered philosophers. Human service workers face dilemmas or value conflicts of one sort or another every day, no matter what their role in an agency.
ethics of helping
An ethical commitment to help others rather than engage in dog-eat-dog competition.
Sometimes there are conflicts between what we have been taught is correct behavior and what our clients do. For example, perhaps our parents, church, and school taught us that it is wrong for a woman to get an abortion; yet we may work with many people who do not share this value. Or perhaps, because everyone we knew said so, we might believe that most welfare recipients are lazy people avoiding work. Yet we find th ...
Human beings are social creatures that require relationships with others. We learn social norms and values through the socialization process, which transforms children into adults able to function in society. While relationships require respecting others, conflicts still arise so it is important to manage them constructively. Morality provides guidance for living and facing life's challenges, while ethics reflects on different moral approaches and judges their validity. Morality is our personal code of conduct, and ethics helps improve it through comparison and justification.
This document summarizes a presentation on bullying and forgiveness. It discusses whether victims of bullying can or should forgive their bullies. It explores the benefits of forgiveness, such as improved physical and psychological health. However, forgiveness is difficult for many reasons, such as feelings of anger or a desire for revenge. The document outlines factors that can facilitate forgiveness, including religious beliefs, acknowledgment of wrongdoing by the offender, and third-party assistance like mediation. Mediators must carefully determine whether a situation is appropriate for their involvement in facilitating forgiveness.
This document discusses three major ethical theories: teleological, deontological, and virtue theories. It provides details on teleological and deontological theories. Teleological theories determine rightness based on consequences, focusing on achieving the greatest good. Deontological theories hold that certain actions are right or wrong regardless of consequences, based on absolute duties and moral rules. The document also examines forms of utilitarianism as a teleological theory, and discusses strengths and weaknesses of calculating utility.
This document discusses ethics, social responsibility, and managing diversity. It defines stakeholders as groups with an interest in an organization. Managers must make ethical decisions that balance stakeholders' interests. Ethics come from societal, professional, and individual sources. Managers face challenges distributing benefits fairly among stakeholders. Being socially responsible benefits companies through improved welfare and reputation. Diversity in the workforce requires equal opportunity and fair treatment for all groups to promote justice and performance. Managing diversity involves awareness of biases and cultural differences.
Nasw. “The Primary Mission Of The Social Work ProfessionKate Subramanian
This situation relates to several principles in the NASW Code of Ethics:
- Social workers should not engage in dual or multiple relationships with clients in which there is a risk of exploitation or potential harm to the client. Giving clothes to a client could be seen as engaging in a social relationship outside of the professional one.
- Social workers should conduct themselves in a manner that avoids conflicts of interest that could impair professional judgment or compromise the effectiveness of services. Giving gifts to clients could create a conflict of interest.
- Social workers should not use their professional positions to seek or receive unjustified personal gains, sexual favors, unfair advantage, or unearned goods or services. Giving clothes could be seen as seeking personal gain or favor
The document discusses the ethical dilemma faced by therapists regarding their duty to warn and breach client confidentiality if the client poses a danger to themselves or others.

Legal Considerations
I think when working in the field, it is important to understand that legalities will affect various areas of social work practice. For example, the legal system may come into play with social workers who are working in areas of “child welfare, domestic violence, crime victim counseling, adult protection, housing, immigrant services, youth services, and public policies” (Birkenmaier & Berg-Weger, 2018). Social workers should also be aware of the workings of the legal system, in order to “communicate and work successfully with judges and attorneys, recognize the rights afforded to clients by law, recognize certain problems of their clients as essentially legal problems or social policy problems, and minimize their legal risk in practice” (Birkenmaier & Berg-Weger, 2018). With my placement, I work with clients who have been involved with the courts whether it be clients who are in recovery, or with parent groups who have been involved in courts due to their children’s issues with truancy, etc. With that being said, I have to be aware of any legalities that may affect any of the clients during times. Some legal considerations I have to consider may come in terms of confidentiality or having consent for services before working with clients. Also, we have a very client-centered approach here at the agency; what the client says or wants is what we work with. I have to remember that and take that into consideration as well.
Potential Challenges
When working with clients, there’s always potential challenges involved when in practice. For one, it is important to consider that confidentiality may have to be broken in some cases. For example, when a client is considered a risk to themselves or someone around them, confidentiality is no longer possible. Also, a challenge can arise when a client is severely in need of services but refuses to sign the consent forms. That puts us in a dilemma because we know the client needs help, but legally we cannot provide them with services unless we have their consent.

Any legal considerations during your field education experience that you may have had to address or that you might address.
The audio from Laureate Education (2013e) states that much like the code of ethics within social work, laws dictate how social workers conduct services. This pertains.
Cynthia Cooper had reached the post-conventional stage of Kohlberg's six stages of moral development. Specifically, she acted based on her own strong ethical code and universal ethical principles, willing to risk her job to report financial irregularities at WorldCom for the benefit of the company and wider community. Her actions supported Carol Gilligan's view that women's morality is based on caring and responsibility, as Cooper cared about protecting the company and its workers from unethical behavior. Her moral identity, as defined by William Damon, was strongly centered around ethics, motivating her actions to do what was right regardless of consequences.

Rights
Merriam-Webster defines "right" as "something to which one has a just claim." That which he or she claims can be a tangible object, a privilege, the opportunity to behave in a certain way, or to have others behave towards him or her in a certain way. Some rights are legal and others are moral. If one's rights are protected by law, we consider them to be legal rights. Boatright also points out a distinction between specific and general rights. General rights might be considered “human rights” as they apply to all people. Specific rights are those that particular people possess due to their circumstances, such as an employment contract.
Rights can also be described as positive or negative. Negative rights act as barriers that keep others from limiting our rights, while a positive right obligates others to support our right or position in some way. My right to life is a negative right that keeps others from taking my life. However, it does not require others (individual people, organizations, or governments) to do anything or give anything to give me life.
Immanuel Kant developed an approach to decision making that requires one to act in a certain way simply because it is the right thing to do. He calls the approach the "categorical imperative," and communicates this imperative in various formulations. In addition to the categorical imperative, Kant wrote about hypothetical imperatives. These are conditional requirements, so that if a person wants something or believes he should do something, then he or she should take the necessary steps to fulfill that desire or that sense of obligation. The categorical imperative is not conditional in nature. There are two primary formulations of the categorical imperative.
First, Kant stated, "I ought never to act except in such a way that I can also will that my maxim should become a universal law." Do you think the decision makers who took Enron down the wrong road would recommend their decisions for all business people everywhere and at all times? Most likely not.
This formulation includes the concept of reversibility, which sounds like the Golden Rule. Basically, I must be willing for others to use my same rationale against me if the roles are reversed. Further, the concept also includes the element of universalizability. Every person at all times should be able to follow the rationale I use.
Kant's second formulation says, "Act in such a way that you always treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never simply as means, but always at the same time as an end."
People should follow these formulations, according to Kant, even if breaking them seems to have more of a utilitarian benefit. Holding down one person or one class of persons might benefit society in general, but does not pass the test of reversibility or universalizability. For example, slavery is a very efficient means of increasing work productivity and keeping co.
Business ethics establishes moral principles and values to govern business activities beyond legal requirements. It helps build trust between a business and its customers through codes of conduct. Some key issues in business ethics include corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, social responsibility, and fiduciary duties. The principles of business ethics according to Indian ethos emphasize leadership, accountability, integrity, respect, honesty, responsibility, fairness, loyalty, and environmental concern. Management based on Vedantic values focuses on self-knowledge, treating people equally, engaging in fair practices, and benefiting society.

4. What’s Retributive Justice?
Definition
Fairness when blaming or punishing the person for doing
wrong.
Example:
When someone person is snatched the purse of another person
then you should blame or punish them for that person who are
involved in snatching.
Philosophers also make the long debate on
punishing & blaming. What’s difference between them?
But our question is not to involves in such harms
5. Our question is that
Does punish a Person right & wrong ?
1-Condition:-
If people don’t know what they are doing
they cannot punished/blamed for it.
Example:
If the cotton mill owner mentioned at the beginning of the section
didn’t know that the condition in their mills would cause the
brown lung disease, then it would be unjust to punish them when it
turns out that their mills cause this disease.
6. Our question is that
Does punish a Person right & wrong ?
2-Condition:-
A person must be punished for actually doing
the wrong.
Example:
Some firms use more or less complex system of due process that
are intended to ascertain whether the conduct of employees was
really such that such as to merit dismissal or some other penalty.
Penalizing an employee on the basis of incomplete
information/evidence is considered an injustice.
7. Our question is that
Does punish a Person right & wrong ?
3-Condition:-
Punishment must be consistent and
proportioned to the wrong. Punishment is consistent when
everyone gave same penalty for same infraction.
Punishment is proportioned to the wrong when penalty is no greater
in magnitude then the harm.
Example:
It’s wrong for a manager to become loyal with those who are closely
related and harsh with others.
Purpose of Punishment is to avoid wrongdoer for doing the wrong
again.
8. What’s Compensatory Justice?
Definition
Fairness when restoring to a person what the person lost
when he/she was wronged by someone else.
Compensatory justice require that the compensation leave the
victims.
So by formula
Amount of compensation=Loss of reputation
Example:
If some person killed the another person then the family of killed
person asked the killer, If he gave the equivalent amount of money
that they demanded then they will forgive killer and never gave him
punish.
Means amount of money considered as a punishment.
9. Not all injuries deserve compensation?
Person has moral obligation to compensate the injured party.
If three conditions are present:-
Actions that inflicted the injury was wrong or neglegent.
The person action was real cause of injury.
The person inflicted the injury voluntary.
1-Condition
Example:
If by efficiently managing my firm I undersell my competitors and
run him or her out of business, I am not morally bound to
compensate him or her since such competition is neither wrongful
nor negligent. But I steal from my employer, then I owe him or her
compensation, or I fail to exercise due care in driving, then I owe
compensation to those whom I injure.
10. 2-Condition
Example:
If a banker loans a person money and borrower then uses it to cheat
other’s, the banker is not morally obligated to compensate the
victims; but if the banker defrauds a customer, the customer must be
compensated.
3-Condition
Example:
If I injure someone’s property accidentally and without negligence. I
am not morally obligated to compensate the person. ( I may, however
be legally bound to do so depending on how the law choose to
distribute the social costs of injury.) But I deliberately burn down the
house of a person I dislike , then I am bound to compensate the
person for the losses I inflicted.
11. Ethics of Care
Claims ethics need not be impartial, unlike ethical theories
which assume ethics has to be impartial.
Example:
Every person can assume the things according to your
prospective. Someone says using the mobile phone in class
is ethically wrong whereas others say it’s not.
Emphasizes preserving and nurturing concrete valuable
relationship.
Example:
We should built concrete relation with those that are dependent on us &
we are dependent on them. Such as our parent’s, teacher’s and
factory owner’s etc
Without them we are nothing to do that.
12. Says we should care for those dependent on and related to
us .
It also says caring relationships with others those
relationships are valuable and nurtured.
Example:
Workers are dependent on the owners as well as owners are
dependent on workers. Because the owners cannot produce
anything without them. And the circle of workers never
exist without owners until they pay them for their services.
Caring is not detached but an engrossed caring for a person.
Relationship are not valuable when characterized by
domination, harm, oppression, violence, injustice or
exploitation.
13. Example:
Malden Mills company stared work in 1906.
Feuerstein was it’s owner who make them.
It’s located in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
It’s worth was about $5million in 1982 and it’s faces a
threat of bankruptcy.
So it improved it’s product efficiency. He make the
high quality products with low cost and it’s sales
increase up to $200million due it’s effort.
In December 11, 1995 an explosion near a boiler room
exposed and all over the factory was burnt.
All the plant was destroyed.
Injuring 25 workers and 1400 People out of work
before the event of Christmas.
14. Now the owner of company decides to rebuilt the
company again.
He decides to rebuilt the company in that area of
Lawrence, Massachusetts. He also built the
company in other areas that labor cost are low and
generate the income of other People of third
country.
According to utilitarian principle Feuerstein had
no obligation to rebuild the factory in Lawrence
and continue to pay it’s workers.
But the Feuerstein decision for those that are
worked for them. He care for those persons by the
concept of ethics of care. Because without workers
he thought he never might be able to increase it’s
sales.
15. So he get $100million dollar from insurance company
and rebuilt the company. He also pay wages of the
workers when company was rebuilt.
And workers are on vacation during rebuilt.
The cost of paying the wages 1400 workers are about
$20million for three months.
In this example owner gave the care for those that are
worked for them. Without them owner is nothing.
Owner get all profit on the backed of their workers so
he cared them and pay them continuously.
So the demands of caring and of justice can conflict
and such conflicts can be solved by commitments and
relationship with them.
16. Partially and Care
Ethic of care
Definition
An ethic that requires caring for the concrete well being of
those particular persons with whom we have valuable close
relationship, Particularly those dependent on us.
Example:
If the strangers and parents were both drowning that you have the
opportunity to preserve one of them. So you can preserve that persons
which gave more satisfaction to you. If you can preserve your parents
then it will give more satisfaction. Because parents are one who
sacrifice every thing in life for the betterment of their children's.
17. This view says that we have develop strong relationship
with those persons that are our near & dear. That are
dependent on us. Without them we are nothing to do that.
We feel independent without them.
Example:
In the Malden Mills incident, Feuerstein felt that he had the
special obligation to take care of his workers. Because the
owner is dependant on the workers. So it’s obligation is to
develop a special relation with their employees for
preservance of care.
18. Ethics of care emphasizes two moral standards:
1. We each exist a web of relationship. Mean we
develop close relation with those that are dependent
on us. We should interconnected with each other.
2. We should exercise the special care for those to whom
we are concretely related by attending to their
particular needs, values and desires.
Example:
Feuerstein decision to remain in community of Lawrence and care
for his workers by continuing to pay them after the fire was a
response to imperative of preserving the concrete relationships
he had formed with his employees. It’s also response a special
care for special needs of those who were economically
dependent on him. Take care of the special group of
individuals is more significant.
19. Many advocates of an ethic of care have argued that
it should also encompassing larger the kinds of
obligations that’s called Communitarian ethic.
Communitarian Ethic
An ethic that sees concrete communities and communal
relationships as having a fundamental value that should be
preserved and maintained.
20. Arguments Supporting Ethic of Care
Ethics of care based upon identity of self
Who I am ? It’s based upon relationships self with his
selves.
Example:
I need others to feed and care for me when I am born; I
need the other’s to educate men and care for me as I grow; I
need the friends and lovers to care for me. When I mature; I
always live in a community on whose language, traditions
culture and other benefits I depend and that come to define
me.
The value of self may be derived from value of
Community.
21. Example
Like mother Care its baby boy from childhood to its
matureness
Result
This type of caring is associate with persons not that the
things.
Care
22. Caring about someone
It include caring for things not for persons.
Example:
Caring about educational Institutes
Caring about post office
Social welfare office
Result
This type of caring is associate with things not persons
Caring after someone
It is often necessary .
It is not demanded by ethics of care.
23. Issues / Problems with caring after someone
1) Not all relationships are valuable . so they all donot
generate the demand of care.
Reason :
Because of characteristics of relationships like ,
Oppression ( زبردستی )
Domination ( ہونا )غالب
Harm ( نقصان/تکلیف )
Disrespect (بدتمیزی)
Violation (دینا دخل زبردستی)
Solution :
Here need to be exercise special care of ethics .
We should nurture ( پرورش )& preserve these relationships .
24. 2) Sometimes there is conflict between Demand of the
caring & the demand of justice.
Explanation with the help of Example :
• Suppose a female manager ( Aleena ) supervising several
peoples in a company .One of whom ( Amina ) is a close
friend to her.
•Now suppose she will recomended one of these subordinates
for promotion to a particularly desired position .
•Now what will she do ?
Either she gave promotion to Amina or other subordinate who is most
qualified .
According to the justice view:
she will follow the rules and regulation and choose someone who is
much qualified and deserve this promotion .
According to the ethics of care view:
she must favor for the sake of her friend.
25. Solution about these conflicts
There’s no fixed rule that can solve all conflicts
But some guidelines we have .
Consider when the manager was hired, she voluntarily promised those
who hired her that she would accept the position of manager along
with duties and Obligations of the position of manager.
Manager also follow the policies of company and not violate them.
Feminist ethicists have been responsible for development of care
approach to ethics.
Caring is not a task of women, but moral imperative ( ّاخالقیضرورت )
for men and women.
Ethicist abandoned ( ترککرنا ) the view that an ethics of care is for
women only and have argued, human must recognized the demand of
justice & demands of caring .
26. Objections of Care
1)An ethics of care can degenerate into favoritism.
Response:
Conflicting moral demands are an inherent characteristics
( خصوصیات موروثی ) of moral choice ( انتخاب اخالقی )
2)An ethics of care can lead to “Burnout”.
Reason :
• People exercising the caring for their, parents, children
siblings, spouse, lovers and friends.
• So People sacrifice their own needs and desire to care for
well beings of others.
Response:
Means we must maintain balance between self and selves.
