Question: Utilitarian ethics clearly connect individuals with their larger community, but at the individual level, they are not completely unlike the care-based ethics presented in the Three Primary Schools model. Care-based ethics enjoys a kind of reciprocity between people in which decision-makers can imagine themselves as the object of the decision as well as the subject of the decision-making process. At the same time, and perceiving themselves in dual roles in the dilemma, this process of ethics can become very subjective for decision-makers who can confuse what is good for others with what they perceive as good for themselves.
Explain a time that you encountered a care-based ethical situations. What was your role? What was the resolution?
