Review the CHAPTER : FINDING SOLID GROUND Ethical Standards and Reasoning
Part 1
Define and Explain:
1. Virtue Ethics
2. Deontology
3. Teleology
Be sure you also provide the main proponents behind each of these ethical theories.
Part 2
Next, give a real world example of how someone might use each of these theories to solve an ethical dilemma. (Please use the same dilemma for each of the three theories. You may have different outcomes to the ethical dilemma depending upon which theory you are considering. So, you will provide an ethical dilemma. Then solve that dilemma 3 times by using each of the theories above.
Thus, after reading both your explanations and your examples, I should be able to clearly understand each theory and how it would be applied to an ethical situation. The correct application of the theory is critical in showing you understand the theory. So, really think about each one, and how someone following this theory would solve your ethical dilemma.
Part 3:
What are some practical reasons it is important as a public administrator to be able to identify and apply each one of these theories? The text has a bit of a general discussion for this question. Be sure and pull from information in the text. You can also think about your own experiences as well.
