Utilitarianism: the ethical doctrine that virtue is based on utility, and that conduct should be directed toward promoting the greatest happiness of the greatest number of persons.
Egoism:the habit of valuing everything only in reference to one's personal interest; selfishness.
Situational ethics, or situation ethics states that sometimes other moral principles can be cast aside in certain situations if love is best served;
deontology: ethics, esp. that branch dealing with duty, moral obligation, and right action.
Categorical Imperative:Ethics. the rule of Immanuel Kant that one must do only what one can will that all others should do under similar circumstances.
Contractarianism:any of various theories that justify moral principles and political choices because they depend on a social contract involving certain ideal conditions, as lack of ignorance or uncertainty.
Natural Rights:
a political theory that individuals have basic rights given to them by nature or God that no individual or government can deny |
Virtue ethics: is a branch of moral philosophy that emphasizes character, rather than rules or consequences, as the key element of ethical thinking.
I think that virtue ethics is the one that would be most likely used in this situation. it seems to be the best description of what must be done in the situation. Deontoly is also one that fits the description of my situation. Utilitarianism would work in my case.. doing the right thing and working on the assignment would bring happiness to my teacher, to my parents and to myself.
