Ethics Of Care

Introduction: Teens are always complaining about their parents being nosy and never giving them the space they want. They feel like they have the right to privacy. Parents have the right to care and set rules in the house to make sure their child is okay. Ethics of care (which is associated with virtue ethics) is a perspective on moral issue that emphasizes close personal relationships and moral virtues such as compassion, love, and sympathy.

Parents care too much, so when they invade their child’s privacy it is out of love. Teens should have some privacy, but there should be rules set so the parent can feel safe and happy because the child is. Ethics of care is a reminder that caring is a vital and inescapable part of the moral life. Teenagers have been cared for ever since birth and tend to anticipate that their parents will keep on taking care of them. They don't really behave in a mature way around their parents as they do around others when

Especially in today’s world because anything can happen within a blink of an eye. So being protective and showing concern might be annoying and piss off your child, but it is worth the attitude knowing your child is in bed safe every
