Abstract
-
Ethics is a branch of philosophy that involves structuring, championing, and proposing concepts of appropriate and inappropriate behavior. It is traditionally divided into three general subject areas: metaethics, normative ethics and applied ethics. Metaethics investigates the origins of our ethical principles and their meanings and concerns itself with questions such as whether our principles are simply social inventions or manifestations of our emotions. Metaethical answers to these questions focus on the issues of universal thought, the will of divinity, and the meaning of the words themselves that are used. Normative ethics, on the other hand, examines the standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, what actions they ought to take. It, thus, studies concepts and principles such as rights, duties, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, and specific virtues. Applied ethics is concerned with examining specific issues, such as medical treatments, environmental concerns, work situations, and honesty in
academia (Levin, 2021). This paper will address different approaches to applied ethics discussing the background of both the traditional viewpoint and the feminist viewpoint.
