 objectivity:  In one sense, a particular   ethical  judgment is  objective  if and only if it is correct, where this is an evaluation of the judgment itself, not of how it is formed or sustained. ... If  ethica l  judgments are beliefs, then it is natural to think that they are correct if and only if they are true. Subjective Ethics  refers to a view that there are no absolute or constant standards of right and wrong. In  subjective ethics  there is only the duty to oneself: the duty to focus on the development of self- consciousness. ...  Subjective Ethics  is also known as  ethical  relativism or moral relativism. Ethics  is defined as a moral philosophy or code of morals practiced by a person or group of people. An  example  of  ethics  is a the code of conduct set by a business. In order for  morality  to be objective, it must be right or wrong regardless of human perceptio...

  Values   are simply the labels and categories we create to identify the motivations and desires we believe will usher us towards a good life, though in practice, values regularly conflict with one another. I value comfort and deliciousness while simultaneously valuing health and industry. Anti - Values  are values that have a predictably bad outcome. These include dominance, revenge, sadism, ideology, hardness, and exclusivity. Presumably in our primordial past, these anti-values ensured some measure of security and flourishing, but they no longer have a beneficial role in our modern communities. It’s important to note that anti-values are not synonymous with the excess or deficiency of another value. Cowardliness is a deficiency of courage. Foolhardiness is an excess of courage. Neither cowardliness nor foolhardiness designate a value that anyone strives for. They are therefore better designated as vices. The  four types of value  inc...

  Like most other ancient philosophers, Plato maintains a virtue-based eudaemonistic conception of ethics. That is to say, happiness or well-being ( eudaimonia ) is the highest aim of moral thought and conduct, and the virtues aretê : excellence’ are the requisite skills and dispositions needed to attain it. If Plato’s conception of happiness is elusive and his support for a morality of happiness seems somewhat subdued, there are several reasons. First, he nowhere defines the concept or makes it the direct target of investigation, but introduces it in an oblique way in the pursuit of other questions. Second, the treatment of the human good varies in the different dialogues, so that readers find themselves confronted with the problem of what to make of the discrepancies in different works. This touches on a fundamental problem with Plato’s work – namely whether to follow a ‘unitarian’, ‘revisionist’, or ‘developmentalist’ approach to Plato’s writings. Whereas unitarians regard the d...

  Most virtue ethics theories take their inspiration from  Aristotle  who declared that a virtuous person is someone who has ideal character traits. These traits derive from natural internal tendencies, but need to be nurtured; however, once established, they will become stable. For example,  a virtuous person is someone who is kind across many situations over a lifetime because that is her character and not because she wants to maximize utility or gain favors or simply do her duty. Unlike  deontological  and  consequentialist  theories, theories of virtue ethics do not aim primarily to identify universal principles that can be applied in any moral situation. Since its revival in the twentieth century, virtue ethics has been developed in three main directions: Eudaimonism, agent-based theories, and the ethics of care. Eudaimonism bases virtues in human flourishing, where flourishing is equated with performing one’s distinctive function well. ...

  After meaking the debate activity i learn new thinks about this  big problem that is causing lots of troble in the hold world. before starting my writting i want to say that in the debate I made the paper in an against way, but i an in favor. ok lets start: I learn that:  Feminist s  respect individual, informed choices and believe there shouldn't be a double standard in judging a person. Everyone has the right to sexual autonomy and the ability to make decisions about when, how and with whom to conduct their sexual life. Contrary to popular belief feminism has nothing to do with belittling men, in fact feminism does not support sexism against either gender. Feminism works towards equality. A fun fact i find is that  Women earn 78 cents for every dollar a man makes. So doing this activy helps me to undertand more clearly this big problem and help to understand the problems that a girl pass  everyday of his life and the issues they have in the street when ...

  Values are basic and fundamental beliefs that guide or motivate attitudes or actions. They help us to determine what is important to us. Values describe the personal qualities we choose to embody to guide our actions; the sort of person we want to be; the manner in which we treat ourselves and others, and our interaction with the world around us.   I think that every person in the world needs to learn and have values because its an important learning that will really help you in the futere with your diferent problems and for me that a prove of study and of responsability. I’m a proponent of virtue ethics because it holds that moral values can be turned into excellences of character with practice and repetition. We become virtuous by being virtuous. We use practical wisdom to make decisions about what virtuous behavior is. It all makes sense at least to me.  value is something that has value in its own right, such as honesty and kindness, whereas extrinsic value is doing...
