Sheldon’s explanation to Joyce that she can choose her own carer and also take part in the process of selection in accordance with (BASW) code of ethics, which stipulate that information should be given to service users in order for them to be able to make informed choices ( BASW, 2014).

Joining this club will enhance Joyce’s social connections and mitigate the risk of…

Sarah Clark Miller, in “Global Needs and Care” presents the argument that Kant’s duty based ethics and Ruddick’s care based ethics are incomplete and that her cosmopolitan care based ethics provide better reasoning for the global responsibility to care for distant others. Her argument is that we are morally obligated to respond to fundamental needs and therefore, we have a duty to care. This idea of the duty to care brings us back to Kant’s ethics, which she says provides a moral foundation for the obligation to care but doesn’t portray the content of the duty and how it should be carried out. She criticizes Sarah Ruddick’s care based ethics by saying that it assumes that some people care but does not address why or whether it is important for everyone to care. Her view is a combination of the two and hopes to complete the story about the conclusive duty to care for distant others.…

In Thea Hassan’s “An Ethic of Care Critique” Hassan aims to show how Nel Nodding’s proposed “An Ethic of Caring”, while it is beneficial to most general ethic guidelines, is not an appropriate ethical theory for feminism. In her article, Hassan claims that Nel Nodding’s example of ethics of care encourages traditional gender roles of women, ignores other important virtues besides care, and inhibits a person from becoming autonomous, a term defined as “state of existing or acting separately from others. With feminisms goal of equality; aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women, to be on the same playing field, if you will, with men, Hassan has a strong argument to show how Nodding’s proposed ethics is inadequate for feminism.…
