A theory of ethics is a kind of explanation. It attempts to figure out what kinds of actions are right or wrong or what makes for a good or bad person or even what makes for a good or bad life. Moreover, as our textbook states (p. 15), an ethical theory attempts to explain morality as based upon just one or a few foundational values (foundational values are discussed on pages 14-16 of the text.)
If you were to briefly put forth a theory of ethics, and you had to choose one or two particular values, character traits, responsibilities as most important, what do you think these would be? That is, when you observe yourself and the people around you, what value or character trait do you find to be most present when people act morally? Where do you think our sense of what’s right comes from? Give reasons for your answers, perhaps by considering your response in relation to any particular moral issues that may arise today.
