Ethical PerspectivesIntroductionEthics involves identifying, differentiating and defending the concepts of right and wrong and the values ​​that humanity holds from ethical growth and development. The Williams Group for Ethics and Management has developed an exercise, called the Ethics Awareness Inventory, that analyzes responses to a series of questions and classifies the results into four ethical perspectives: character (or virtue ethics), obligation (or deontological ethics), results (or utilitarianism) and equity (or relativism). After completing the inventory, my ethical perspective was determined as Obligation or Deontological Ethics. I will begin by explaining the core beliefs and values ​​of the ethical perspective of Obligation and examine the beliefs and values ​​of the remaining three perspectives. I'll also look at some issues I'm likely to face in the workplace, examining how my ethical perspective comes into play. Obligation/deontology Deontological ethics "falls within the scope of moral theories that guide and evaluate our choices about what we should do (deontic theories), in contrast to (aretaic [virtue] theories) that – at least fundamentally – guide and they evaluate what kind of person (in terms of character traits) we are and should be (Alexander & Moore, 2007, 1). .
