¶ … Morality
How does the common morality define who is a moral agent?
According to Gert et al. (2000), common morality defines a moral agent as an individual who fully understands what is necessitated, forbidden, allowed, and encouraged by moral rules and an individual who can sensibly conform to guidance and being judged by such moral rules.

At the outset, I would like to welcome all of you to the country of Moralitia. I am the Chief Social Workers of the country. For several decades now, we have lived harmoniously and productively as a country under the common morality. Today, I would like to explain the moral system of the common morality and help you grasp the basic components therein. To begin with, I would like to point out that morality is a public system and it encompasses the moral judgements that each individual commonly uses. In particular, there are ten moral rules for all individuals of Moralitia that are demanded of them or forbidden. These are essentially the basic components of common morality that are employed in the formulation of norms, which act as guiding principles for all moral agents to act in view of that. They are imperative to the moral system that is currently in place in Moralitia. These basic components are listed as:
1. Do not kill
2. Do not cause pain
3. Do not disable
4. Do not deprive of freedom
5. Do not deprive of pleasure
6. Do not deceive
7. Keep your promise
8. Do not cheat
9. Obey the law
10. Do your duty.
It is imperative to point out that the violation of any of these rules without sufficient validation or rationalization would render you immoral and guilty of acting against realms of common morality. In addition, we also have a two-step process of justifying whether moral rules have been violated. The initial stage takes into account making clear morally pertinent characteristics by posing various questions regarding probable harm, and possible justification, if any, of such violation. The other step encompasses the projection of the detrimental and beneficial consequences for each individual (Gert et al., 2000).
These are the...
Definition of an Ethical Framework An ethical framework that would be useful to me is one which I can use it to assess how to go about behaving in a given circumstance. The framework should be based on the virtue-ethics perspective. As Lutz (1996) points out, “Piaget and Kohlberg belong to the cognitive-developmental tradition of developmental psychology” in which the moral development of a child is decided through social interaction and
Ethical Frameworks: Case Scenario This week’s case scenario involves Jenna, who has just been hired as a new recruiter at a large staffing agency. Her trainer advises her to tell candidates that the organization will get back to them within two weeks of an interview date.

Defining Police EthicsAbstractOwing to the power and authority that law enforcement officers wield, it could be argued that honesty and integrity are some of the most crucial attributes of a police officer. This is more so the case given that failure to embrace the basic tenets of ethical behavior could result in abuse of power and loss of public trust and confidence in law enforcement. Indeed, to a large extent,
Ethical Issues Surrounding Abortion Notwithstanding the laws being passed in various states against a woman's right to chose to terminate her pregnancy, the position of this paper is that Roe v. Wade is the law of the land and a woman has the ethical and moral right to decide to have an abortion. There are many positions for and against Roe v. Wade, and there are many ethical issues that may
Mudra did not act according to this principle when he ignored the warning signs of Daniel's condition. The best course of action would therefore have been a focus on beneficence/non-maleficence rather than upon respect for autonomy. Daniel's age is also an important factor. Concomitantly with his condition, Daniel's immaturity and a desire to "prove" his independence to his parents, could have contributed to his death. When treating such young persons,
