The central point of chapter 3 was to highlight subjectivism in ethics. According to the book, the definition of ethical subjectivism is, "...is the idea that our moral opinions are based on our feelings and nothing more. " The issue that is tied-up with ethical subjectivism is the ongoing debate of abortion and homosexuality. Moreover, the importance of ethical subjectivism in this issue is that we can't define what is right or wrong, good or bad, because in reality, we are just stating our emotions and feelings.…
According to the Ethical Lens Inventory results, my preferred lens is (Rights and Responsibility, and Relationship Lens). Basically this means I use my reasoning skills to determine both the universal rules that each person should follow, and the processes that will assure fairness and justice for all in the community.…
Normative ethical subjectivism is an ethical stance that attempts to specify circumstances under which an action is morally right or wrong using four distinct arguments that try to prove this claim. Normative ethical subjectivism claims that an act is morally right if, and only if, the person judging the action approves of it. Stemming form this view on ethics a normative ethical theory has been made. An ethical theory is a theory of what is right and wrong. This stance on ethics is the opposite of another ethical stance called methethical antirealism. Methethical antirealism is centered on the idea that because there is no right and wrong actions, just personal preferences there is no such thing as morality. It also states that morals are just a personal preference. Normative ethical subjectivism makes its claim in four different arguments witch are democracy, tolerance, disagreement and atheism.…
Ethical subjectivism – a person’s feelings towards a situation, nothing is really right or wrong (truths differ from person to person)…
Ethical subjectivist is the principle easiest explained as Jean-Jacques Rousseau states, ´´What I feel is right is right. What I feel wrong is wrong.´´ basically anything you think is right is right. No morals truths, ethics is subjective to the individuals’ feelings. Sounds liberating, free from society norms and laws, doing what one feels but the truth is if everyone felt that way we would live in chaos. A famous serial killer Craig Price once said, ´´Morality is a private choice.´´ so imagine people like him who feel that it is right to oppress, hurt, torture, or even kill would run free and…

Another issue with ethical relativism – whether it is subjective or conventional – is that a person has to determine what is their primary culture. Culture is made up of so many aspects like location, race, gender, religion, sexual status, etc. that a person could be making a moral decision that goes against one part of their culture but is acceptable with another part.…
In discussions of smoking electronic-cigarettes, or e-cigs, in designated smoking areas, one controversial issue has been that the vapor coming from the e-cigs does not cause damage to a person’s health. On the other hand, the vapor coming from the e-cigs contends quite an overwhelming amount of damage to a person’s health. Others even maintain that smoking e-cigs help people with a smoking problem stop smoking. My own view is that, although e-cigs help people stop smoking, they have been proven to cause the same amount of damage as a tobacco cigarette would; therefore people with e-cigs should stick to smoking in smoking designated areas.…
Ethics are the beliefs the individual has of what is right and wrong. When making decisions, people rarely ever use critical thinking or ethical thinking alone. We use both moral judgment and facts depending on the situation. Example, someone might say it is wrong to break into a person’s car, Another person will say if there is a dog locked…

Deontology and Utilitarianism are the two most dominant theories which forms the foundations of ethical analysis, because they are the viewpoints from which guidance can be obtained along the pathway to an optimum decision. Each theory emphasizes different points such as predicting the outcome and following one’s duties to others in order to reach an ethically correct decision. However, in order for an ethical theory to be useful, the theory must be directed towards a common set of goals. Ethical principles are the common goals that each theory tries to achieve in order to be successful. These goals include: Beneficence, Least Harm, Respect for Autonomy and Justice.…
Majority of people have rejected the theory of ethical relativism due to many reasons. A few claims that while the moral practices of societies may differ, the elemental of moral principles underlying these practices do not differ. For instance, in some societies they practice that if the parents reached a certain age, they were killed to reach afterlife and would live a better life if they reached it when they were physically active and vigorous. In our society, we would never practice that in our culture, but we would agree with these societies on the underlying moral principle of the duty to care for our parents. Societies will differ in practices and the application on what things they practice but we would have to agree on the principles…

Throughout life, most people try to find the reason behind things, others are more adventurous and try to find the reason for our life. When might come across a point in our development when we asked ourselves, where do we come from, where are we going and why are we here. But do we really want to know our life purpose?…
