Approaches to ethics
Ethics is a system of moral principles , that help people make the right decisions , and distinguish between what is right and what is wrong.
Different approaches
Virtue Ethics
Deontological Ethics (duty , role )
Teleological Ethics (consequentialism)
The difference between these three approaches to morality tends to lie more in the way moral dilemmas are approached than in the moral conclusions reached. For example, a consequentialist may argue that lying is wrong because of the negative consequences produced by lying—though a consequentialist may allow that certain foreseeable consequences might make lying acceptable. A deontologist might argue that lying is always wrong, regardless of any potential "good" that might come from lying. A virtue ethicist, however, would focus less on lying in any particular instance and instead consider what a decision to tell a lie or not tell a lie said about one's character and moral behavior. Lying would be based on factors such as personal benefit, group benefit, and intentions.
Virtue ethics
Virtues are qualities that help people lead a good or happy life. Virtues ethics is all about individual doing right. Personal characteristics if practiced will make sure that individual makes the right choice.
Eudaimonia is a state variously translated from Greek as 'well-being', 'happiness', It characterizes the well-lived life. Eudaimonia is the proper goal of human life. Eudaimonia describes that state achieved by the person who lives the proper human life, an outcome that can be reached by practicing the virtues. A virtue is a habit or quality that allows the bearer to succeed at his, her, or its purpose. The virtue of a knife, for example, is sharpness; among the virtues of a racehorse is speed.
