Moral Relativism And Decision-Making Analysis

2. Taking the two examples (one example of right versus right moral dilemma, and one example of right versus wrong from your work experience) that you identified in week one, what criteria and factors were considered during the examination of the issue or dilemma?

Utilitarianism is a philosophical theory that states something is considered to be right when it does the most good for most the most amount of people (Duignan 2015). This theory doesn’t consider the feelings of the individual; it considers the feelings of the majority (Duignan 2015). Utilitarianism is very different from relativism, which takes into account the totality of circumstances, this philosophical theory states that what is considered to be right or wrong can vary depending on people and society (Rachels 2015).

3.) In your opinion, how should the data be used that is obtained from an unethical experiment and how can we prevent this from happening again?

Moral Relativism is tempting as an easy choice. If someone says he or she is a moral relativist about precise issues they perhaps have an underline principle that is morally true everywhere and is not relative. However, trying to find those underline principles is really hard.

3.     We must be able to compare our actions to some ideal or standard of morality.

Thesis: Animal testing is a heavy topic that usually goes unnoticed. To many scientists, animal testing is beneficial and to society it is morally wrong.

For each of the following four cases, explain why you would either approve or disapprove the proposed research experiments. Evaluate each proposal based on the four main principles of ethical research provided in this lesson. Every research experiment must follow all four principles to be considered ethical.

2. Assess the morality of what curious applicants did from the point of view of egoism, utilitarianism, Kant's ethics, Ross's pluralism, and rule utilitarianism.

Utilitarianism also known as the principle of utility is an ethical theory proposed by early philosophers. This theory implies that actions are only judged by its consequences whether they are good or bad. One should perform a particular action because it will yield the best results for all. This approach also analysis the cost and benefit relationship. The downfall with this theory is that not everyone benefits (Fremgen, 2016).

26. Explain the three parts of morality using the analogy of the ships, the analogy of the music, and an analogy of your own design.

This was a interesting philosophy experiment. The preliminary questions were about a person’s moral reasoning.

Research states that Jones (1991) a moral issue is present when a person’s actions, when

If these experiments had been tested using another device or substance, these outcomes would not have happened. The idea of animal testing is that animals are used so that humans are not harmed, but these experiments caused more harm than anything to humans in the long run due to the misleading outcomes of experiments conducted on animals.

Upon doing this case study I’ve learned there are different ways to analyze this experiment. First, I will state the facts about this case. Then I will give my opinion as to weather or not I find this experiment ethical or unethical. Finally, I will give some ways that maybe this experiment could have been changed to meet ethical or unethical guidelines.

Were your hypotheses right or wrong? Tell how those hypotheses would have to be modified in another experiment.
