improvements in the quality of life:

gratification for what we have in our lives.

➢ Social norms are the widely accepted, unwritten, and
perceived informal standards that outline what is appropriate
behavior in a certain group or society, thereby directing
people's actions.

➢ Social norms are therefore situated at the interplay between

early on and accepted, frequently in infancy, and are kept in
place by social pressure ("punishments") for failing to follow
social norms advantages ('benefits') for adhering.
But why do Social Norms matter?
Social norms can have beneficial or harmful
consequences for people’s well-being. They are
central to how social order is produced and
maintained in society.

what other people do.

➢ “What I think others do”

The Injunctive Norms
➢ Injunctive norms, also known as normative
expectations, refer to people’s beliefs about
what others approve of or expect them to do.

individual chooses to engage in a practice on
the basis of what they believe is morally
correct.

Ethical Approaches
Rhenelyn Jhoy J. Cosme
Ethical
➢ pertaining to or dealing with morals or the
principles of morality; pertaining to right and wrong
in conduct.

➢ being in accordance with the rules or standards for

right conduct or practice.
Ethical Approach (Ethical Conduct)
➢ is the action that will achieve the best
consequences.
➢ involves always doing the right thing: never failing to
do one's duty.
➢ is whatever a fully virtuous person would do in the
circumstances.
 Four (4) Ethical Approaches
(Ethical Decision-Making Frameworks)

● Utilitarian Ethics (outcome based)

● Deontological Ethics (duty based)
● Virtue Ethics (virtue based)
● Communitarian Ethics (community based)
Some of the "common elements" of all four approaches
are the following:
● Impartiality: weighing interests equally
● Rationality: backed by reasons a rational person would accept
● Consistency: standards applied similarly to similar cases
● Reversibility: standards that apply no matter who "makes" the
rules
Utilitarian Approach
➢ also called "consequentialists"
➢ an ethical theory that determines right from wrong
by focusing on outcomes.
➢ helps us to consider the immediate and the less
immediate consequences of our actions.
➢ "How will my actions affect others?"
Deontological Approach
➢ "Deontological" simply means the study (or science)
of duty.
➢ an ethical theory that says actions are good or bad
according to a clear set of rules.
 Immanuel Kant
Kant, who lived in 18th Century Prussia
(1724-1804), was one of the most
amazing intellectuals of all time, writing
books on astronomy, philosophy, politics
and ethics. Kant did not believe that
humans could predict "outcomes"
(future consequences) with any
substantial degree of certainty.
Virtue Approach
➢ for Aristotle "virtue" meant "the excellence of a thing" or “moral
excellence.”
➢ an ethical approach that suggests treating our character as a
lifelong project, one that has the capacity to truly change who we
are.
➢ the goal is not to form virtues that mean we act ethically without
thinking, but to form virtues that help us see the world clearly and
make better judgments as a result.
➢ it allows people to maintain personal and interpersonal
connections important for a good life.
Communitarian
Approach
➢ an ethical ideology that values the needs or “common good” of
society over the needs and rights of individuals.
➢ approach on the values of the community over and above the
values of individuals within that community. It considers the right
and wrong action as it pertains to the group and community
"What are the demands (duties) that the
community(ies) of which I am a part make
of me?”
How much of your own personal agenda are you willing to sacrifice
for the overall goal of winning a sailboat race? Under what
conditions are you willing to let the values or culture (spirit?) alter
your own ethical inclinations? To what extent do the relationships
you have with team members give rise to duties that you are willing
to honor? How willing are you to share the credit when the team
succeeds? How willing are you to accept the blame when the team
loses? Under what conditions would you break with the team?
