Virtue: Virtue is a theory describing the character of a moral agent, as a driving force for ethical behavior rather than rules. Moral actions we can internalize, moral principles simply by doing the morally good deeds rather than be selfish in thought and actions. Through the action itself and come to understand it’s value. What is the proper limitation on virtue theory? To distinguish moral epistemology from moral psychology and moral anthropology, how must we determine what the moral actions or value is to the theory of knowledge. I think that Virtue theory offers allot to moral psychology and anthropology, it shows how our morals are learned …show more content…
and our principles are taught.
Utilitarianism is one of the most powerful and persuasive approaches to normative ethics in our history, it has the good with the pleasure.
For example Criticisms people do not know how to take positive criticism. Some people may argue that this theory is not one to rely on solely to make ethical decisions upon. The ethical theories that make the rightness and or wrongness of an agent, i:e going back to my original thought the good with the bad.
Deontological theory: This theory is in contemporary moral philosophy, it is used as which choices can be made morally required or forbidden and permitted. In other words, deontological falls within domains of moral theories that guide and asses our choices of what to do.
My personal experience is not with the normality’s of everyday civilian life it is actually about military life and the everyday propaganda that goes with either being in the military and or military wife’s. My ex-husband and myself was stationed in Yuma AZ, prior to coming to AR, this is where the Marine Corps Air Station is, and this is one of the many bases we have been and I would have to say one of the worst bases we been. In this small town it is surrounded by three Mexican boarder’s, which I do not mind other cultures being one of my aunts from Tijuana and my mother being a mixed, African American lady and Caucasian. But these people in Yuma are just downright nasty; I had a very hard
time with my ethical behavior and remembering that these humans were people and not animals as they portrayed themselves. I had been in a situation with one of the women on base, and her teenage daughter, and my ex-husband, the daughter which at time was 18 and living a very vivid imagination life, which included my husband at time coming to pick her up at wee hours of the night and the days when he supposedly at his second job, swinging by her house when no one home to see her, and that they were to move out of state when he got transferred to another base. Well this did not fly over well with me, nor did I tolerate the rumors, with his rank of a gunnery sergeant. I had to go to base legal and seek council, and also to H-HS chaplain. I was on a constant approval of my then husband just to make him happy and to keep our marriage together while we had children in the home. I felt as if I were the one on the stand, and keeping my own career above water. I was also watching every little bit of movement he made, this is not what a marriage is about, nor is the moral of standards. We then went to the military court for the hearing of a minor and adultery , in the end it came to be that this young lady using the words lightly, had been in trouble at the base prior to where her father was, the young PFC was kicked out of the Marine Corps for statutory rape even though there was no findings of this behavior. Once this was all said and done my marriage had been at wits ends and could not be resolved. The point being was that you as a person should not have to seek out any person’s approval to how you feel nor how you act. I am not saying it’s not good to get someone else’s opinion, on something but not to make you feel more secure in your own personal self. This may sound like a spaghetti sandwich, but I think very much you as a husband and a (PA) should know where I am coming from on this.
