I have learned that the moral frameworks: Virtue Ethics: Aristotle, Virtue Ethics: St.

Thomas
Aquinas, Deontology by Immanuel Kant, Justice and Fairness of John Rawls, and Utilitarianism.
Virtue ethics puts emphasis on the role of character and virtue in living one's life than in doing
one's duty or in acting to bring about good consequences. Justice and Fairness of John Rawls
focuses on how justice should be distributed that would yield fairness for those who have more
and those who have less. The framework that I will use in making an ethical decision is the
Deontology of Kant and the rights theorists. Ethical actions should be consistent. It should be
concerned with the whole of a person’s life, not with the individual discrete actions a person may
perform in any given situation. I need to be aware of every action I make. I want myself to be
guided with this moral framework in making ethical decision. I believed that when we make that
certain decision, it is not because I made that one for it is what I want. I made that because it
should be like that, it is my duty and role. I am not really good in making ethical decision and now
through this framework I am able to make an ethical decision. As what Kant said, we need to
look into our will, as either we possess the will that is good or will that is bad. The only good
without qualification is the good will. He treats the good will as the highest good since its end will
always be good. Having the will is not enough but the will must be good in order to correct the
wrongful act. It will only become a good will when it is motivated by duty. Thank you!
