Semester 1 Review Mind Map
Unit 1
Unit 1
Four ethical principles
Beneficence: The principle of moral action which dictates the actor should do what is “right” and what is “good”. People benefit from good, so all actions should seek to achieve the greatest amount of good.
Least Harm: The principle of moral action which dictates the actor should do the least harm possible. People benefit from good, and so they should seek to avoid harming others to increase that good.
Autonomy: The principle of moral action which dictates the actor should make the decisions that best apply to their lives. People benefit from respect for their specific life experience and they should be able to govern actions as such.
Justice: The principle of moral action dictates that the actor should make choices that are fair to those involved. People benefit from good, so, barring extenuating circumstances, the most just choice should always win out.
Four ethical theories
Deontology: People should fulfill obligations and duties to others, and as a part of society, as is ethically correct. It can become risky if there are conflicts: to fulfill an obligation that may cause someone to break a law.
Utilitarianism: People should choose actions that yield the greatest amount of good or the most benefit. Act Util. – Follow ethics regardless of opinion. Rule Util. – Follow ethics and fairness.
Rights: People should act to protect the established rights of a society as the highest priority. The actions must account for the desired goal of the Society at large, which may sometimes be interpreted differently.
Virtue: People should be judged on the character of the majority of their actions rather than ones that deviate. This may not take into account that a person’s moral character may change over time.
