Importance of Understanding Rights Ethics and Duty Ethics:
• Rights and duties are fundamental concepts in moral philosophy,
influencing our ethical decision-making and societal norms.
• Understanding these frameworks is essential for making ethically informed
decisions in both personal and professional contexts.
• It is crucial for fostering ethical discourse and addressing contemporary
moral challenges.
This presentation will illuminate the significance of recognizing the interplay between rights and duties in our moral landscape

4. RESEARCH BACKGROUND
• EXPLANATION OF THE RESEARCH TOPIC:
⚬ RIGHTS ETHICS, ALSO KNOWN AS DEONTOLOGICAL ETHICS, IS A MORAL FRAMEWORK THAT EMPHASIZES THE RECOGNITION
OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AS FUNDAMENTAL AND INTRINSIC. IT POSITS THAT CERTAIN RIGHTS, SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO LIFE,
LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY, ARE INVIOLABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE VIOLATED, REGARDLESS OF THE CONSEQUENCES.
• MENTION OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM:
⚬ THE PRIMARY PROBLEM WE ADDRESS IS THE LACK OF A COMPREHENSIVE EXPLORATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THESE TWO FRAMEWORKS. WHILE EACH HAS BEEN EXTENSIVELY STUDIED INDIVIDUALLY, THERE IS A GAP IN
UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY ARE INTERRELATED AND JOINTLY CONTRIBUTE TO ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING.
• Objectives of the Research:
⚬ To provide a comprehensive overview of rights ethics, including its historical development and key principles.
⚬ To analyze ethical theories associated with rights, comparing them with other prominent ethical frameworks.
⚬ To explore duty ethics and its philosophical foundations, emphasizing the shift from rights to responsibilities.
⚬ To investigate the interplay between rights and duties, showing how recognizing one's rights necessitates the
recognition of corresponding duties for others.
⚬ To examine real-world applications of these frameworks in ethical dilemmas and their implications.
⚬ To discuss the influence of rights and duty ethics in contemporary moral debates.
This research aims to bridge gaps in our understanding of these ethical frameworks and provide insights for ethically informed
decision-making.

5. RIGHTS ETHICS
• Definition of Rights Ethics:
⚬ To provide a comprehensive overview of rights ethics, including its historical development and key principles.
⚬ erstanding of these ethical frameworks and provide insights for ethically informed decision-making.
• Historical Development and Key Principles:
⚬ Rights ethics finds its roots in the works of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and John Locke. Kant's categorical
imperative and Locke's ideas on natural rights significantly influenced this framework.
⚬ Key principles include the distinction between negative and positive rights, the belief in inherent rights, and the duty to
respect these rights.
• Relationship with Deontology:
⚬ Rights ethics is closely related to deontology, an ethical theory that emphasizes duty, moral rules, and the importance of
acting in accordance with these rules.
⚬ Deontology provides the theoretical foundation for rights ethics, with a primary focus on moral obligations and the
recognition of rights.
• Examples of Rights (e.g., life, liberty, property):
⚬ Rights in this framework are often categorized as negative or positive. Negative rights, such as the right to life and
liberty, imply non-interference. Positive rights, like the right to education or healthcare, imply an obligation to provide
certain goods or services.

6. ETHICAL THEORIES
ASSOCIATED WITH RIGHTS
• Discussion of Deontology, Consequentialism, and Virtue Ethics:
⚬ Deontology, a rights-based ethical theory, emphasizes moral rules and duties. It aligns with the recognition of individual
rights and duties to respect those rights.
⚬ Consequentialism, in contrast, prioritizes the outcomes or consequences of actions as the basis for morality. It diverges
from rights ethics by focusing on overall utility rather than individual rights.
⚬ Virtue ethics, associated with Aristotle, emphasizes character development and personal virtues in ethical decision-
making, alongside a rights-based perspective.
• How These Ethical Theories Align or Differ from Rights Ethics:
⚬ Deontology aligns closely with rights ethics, as it emphasizes duty and the recognition of rights.
⚬ Consequentialism differs significantly, as it evaluates actions primarily based on their outcomes, potentially overlooking
individual rights.
⚬ Virtue ethics complements rights ethics by considering character virtues alongside the recognition of rights and
responsibilities.

7. DUTY ETHICS
• Introduction to Duty Ethics (Ethics of Care):
⚬ Duty ethics, often associated with the "ethics of care," places a strong emphasis on responsibilities, relationships, and the
interconnectedness of individuals.
⚬ It highlights the moral obligations we have toward others, grounded in the idea that our duties arise from our roles and
relationships.
• Philosophical Foundations (e.g., Carol Gilligan, Immanuel Kant):
⚬ Carol Gilligan's work has been influential in the development of duty ethics, particularly in her examination of care
ethics and the ethical perspective of responsibilities and relationships.
⚬ Immanuel Kant's deontological ethics, which we discussed earlier, forms a philosophical foundation for duty ethics.
• Shifting from Rights to Responsibilities:
⚬ Unlike rights ethics, duty ethics shifts the focus from individual rights to collective responsibilities. It prioritizes caring for
and supporting others over the recognition of rights.

8. THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN
RIGHTS AND DUTIES
• Examination of the Intricate Relationship:
⚬ In this section, we will delve into the interplay between recognizing individual rights and embracing corresponding
duties.
⚬ The central theme is that recognizing one's rights inherently implies the existence of corresponding duties for others.
This interconnectedness is fundamental to the moral fabric of society.
• How Recognizing Rights Necessitates Corresponding Duties:
⚬ We will explore practical examples to illustrate how the recognition of individual rights naturally leads to the
acknowledgment of responsibilities and duties for others.
⚬ The examples will make tangible the intricate balance between individual rights and the collective responsibility to
respect those rights.

9. REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS
• Discussion of Practical Scenarios:
⚬ We will examine ethical dilemmas in various contexts, such as healthcare, privacy, and environmental ethics, to
illustrate how these ethical frameworks manifest in real-world situations.
• Implications of These Applications:
⚬ We will also explore the broader implications of recognizing individual rights and embracing corresponding duties in
these practical contexts.

10. CONTEMPORARY MORAL
DEBATES
• Ethical Frameworks in Current Discussions:
⚬ Rights ethics and corresponding duty ethics play a crucial role in contemporary moral debates.
⚬ These frameworks influence discussions on topics such as human rights, social justice, and emerging technologies.
• Balancing Rights and Responsibilities:
⚬ As we engage in these debates, it's essential to strike a balance between recognizing individual rights and embracing
collective responsibilities.
⚬ Achieving this equilibrium is vital for informed and ethical decision-making.
• The Role of Ethics in Our Evolving World:
⚬ Our understanding of rights and duties continues to evolve with societal changes and technological advancements.
⚬ Ethical discourse remains a cornerstone in addressing the ethical dilemmas presented by a rapidly changing world.

11. COMPARATIVE
ANALYSIS
• Implications of These Applications:
⚬ Understanding the Distinctions and
Overlaps
⚬ Rights Ethics and Duty Ethics represent two
foundational pillars of moral philosophy,
each with its own unique perspective. To
navigate the ethical landscape effectively,
it's essential to comprehend the distinctions
and the points of convergence between
these frameworks.
• Key Differentiators:
⚬ Rights Ethics: Emphasis on Individual Rights
and Duties
⚬ Duty Ethics: Focus on Responsibilities and
Interconnectedness
• The Importance of Balance:
⚬ It's not about choosing one over the other
but understanding how they complement
each other for informed ethical decision-
making.
