week’s DiscussionConsequential, Nonconsequential, and Virtue Theory

In
this week’s Discussion, you will explore the major groups of ethical
theories we call consequentialist (teleological), nonconsequentialist
(deontological), and virtue theories. There are multiple theories in
each category that you will be able to address in this week’s
Discussion. These theories will serve as the foundation for all future
Discussions and Assignments for the course. Having an opportunity to
discuss these with your instructor and peers will help you understand
how to use them to address ethical issues and questions.

Consequential, Nonconsequential, and Virtue Theory

To

use consequential, nonconsequential, and virtue theory? Pick one example
from each approach and describe how these approaches work or don’t work
for them. Compare the strengths and weaknesses of your three chosen
theories.
