Ethics and Social Responsibility

Virtue theory is to become good by adding excellence or virtue by pursuing the moderate courses between excess and defect. They are questionable because some are moral and some are not. Utilitarianism is the belief that an action is morally right when that action produces more total consequences than any other alternative. Deontological ethics suggests that an agent's duty is based on principal, based on its duties on the nature of human reason or action. It is a moral realist theory of facts, ethics, rules that there is an obligation to perform the right action, regardless of act consequences, and virtue ethics, which asserts that the right action will be chosen by a suitably virtuous agent.

Ethics as all about intuiting what is true from some realm. Others think that it is a cultural exercise at descriptivism. Others believe that it is about assessments of normality about the world. Ethics is the science concerning the "right and wrong" of human action. Morality has to do with basic goods. These levels correspond to their proximity to one's ability to act. Morality stems from the identity or character of the person, rather than experiencing a reflection of the surroundings. We all wish to act before anything else because without action we cannot become good. The other level of goods concentrates upon providing the agent with the goods necessary to be an effective actor within a society based on the level of proficiency within that society.
