Human dignity definitions to consider

kristygriffiths — 2024-03-12 05:32:37 UTC

The belief that all people hold a special value that’s tied solely to their humanity. It has nothing to do with their class, race, gender, religion, abilities, or any other factor other than them being human.
A kind of basic worth or status that belongs to all persons equally, and which grounds fundamental moral or political duties or rights.
The dignity of every person, independent of ethnicity, creed, gender, sexuality, age or ability, is the foundation of Catholic Social Teaching. No human being should have their dignity or freedom compromised. Poverty, hunger, oppression and injustice make it impossible to live a life commensurate with this dignity.

The common good definitions to consider

kristygriffiths — 2024-03-12 05:35:43 UTC

The common good is reached when we work together to improve the wellbeing of people in our society and the wider world.
Certain general conditions that are...equally to everyone's advantage.
The sum of those conditions of social life which allow social groups and their individual members relatively thorough and ready access to their own fulfillment.

Theory of utilitarianism – the key points

kristygriffiths — 2024-03-12 05:39:16 UTC

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that determines right from wrong by focusing on outcomes.
Utilitarianism holds that the most ethical choice is the one that will produce the greatest good for the greatest number.
It is the only moral framework that can be used to justify military force or war.
Limitation: cannot predict the future.
Limitation: utilitarianism also has trouble accounting for values such as justice and individual rights

Limitation example: assume a hospital has four people whose lives depend upon receiving organ transplants: a heart, lungs, a kidney, and a liver. If a healthy person wanders into the hospital, his organs could be harvested to save four lives at the expense of one life. This would arguably produce the greatest good for the greatest number. But few would consider it an acceptable course of action, let alone the most ethical one.

Week 3 take home task - ethical reasoning

2024-03-13 03:57:22 UTC

- Moral absolutists believe there is an absolute right way and an absolute wrong way – no middle ground.

- Moral relativism is the idea that there are no absolute rules to determine whether something is right or wrong. Unlike moral absolutists, moral relativists argue that good and bad are relative concepts – whether something is considered right or wrong can change depending on opinion, social context, culture, or a number of other factors.

- Moral pluralism: there are several values which may be equally correct and fundamental, and yet in conflict with each other. A pluralist strives to understand and respect all perspectives
