Ethical PerspectivesIntroductionEthics involves the identification, differentiation, and defense of the concepts of right and wrong, as well as the values ​​that humanity holds for ethical growth and development. The Williams Group for Ethics and Management has developed an exercise, called the Ethics Awareness Inventory, which analyzes responses to a set of questions and ranks the results according to four ethical perspectives: character (or virtue ethics), obligation (or deontological ethics) , results. (or utilitarianism) and equity (or relativism). Once the inventory was completed, my ethical perspective was determined to be obligation, or deontological ethics. I will begin by explaining the core beliefs and values ​​of the ethical perspective of obligation, and examine the beliefs and values ​​of the remaining three perspectives. I will also examine some issues I will likely face in my workplace, examining how my ethical perspective comes into play. Obligation/Ethics Deontological ethics "falls within the realm of moral theories that guide and evaluate our choices about what we should do (deontic theories), unlike (areaic [virtue] theories) which – fundamentally, at least – guide and assess what kind of person (in terms of character traits) we are and should be. (Alexander and Moore, 2007, 1). The first perspective I will explain involves focusing on “an individual’s duty or obligation to do what is morally right.” (University of...... middle of article...... 2007, from http://plato.stanford.edu/IDRA (Intercultural Development Research Association).
