Ethical Relativism - correct answer ✔Is a social consensus
Utilitarian Ethics - correct answer ✔The ends justify the means
(consequentialism)
Deontogological Ethics:Duty-based - correct answer ✔There are some
things we should do or not do regardless of the consequences (universalism,
categorical imperative)
Virute Ethics - correct answer ✔Identification of character traits that would
constitute a good and full human life
(Ethical Relativism) Because we cannot understand other cultures - correct
answer ✔We cannot judge other cultures
If Cultural Relativism is true - correct answer ✔then we can decide if actions
are right or wrong simply by consulting the standards of society. When
confronted by a challenging ethical dilemma, you would only need the help of
a pollster to determine the course of action. (ethos)
If cultural relativism is true pt 2 - correct answer ✔then there is no such thing
as moral progress (change of customs for the better).
Cultural Sensitivity - correct answer ✔Is being aware that cultural differences
and similarities between people exist without assigning them a value - positive
or negative, better or worse, right or wrong
, Cultural Humility - correct answer ✔Is the ability to maintain an interpersonal
stance that is other-oriented (or open to the other) in relation to aspects of
cultural identity that are most important to the person
Cultural Competence - correct answer ✔Is the ability to understand,
communicate with and effectively interact with people across cultures. It
encompasses: being aware of one's own world view, developing positive
attitudes towards cultural differences, gaining knowledge of different cultural
practices and world views
For the utilitarian in the trolley case - correct answer ✔The only morally
significant factor in the trolley cases is the number of lives saved. How those
lives are saved does not matter. So a utilitarian would judge that in the first
case, we should pull the switch, directing the trolley away from the larger
group and toward the single man. One life is lost and four are saved
For the utilitarian in the second case - correct answer ✔Would also say that
in the second case, we should push the fat man off the bridge and into the
path of the trolley. Again, one life is lost and four are saved. Since the
consequences are the same, the acts are equally right
Jeremy Bentham - correct answer ✔British philosopher and economist who

Nations a precursor to modern Capitalism (Utilitarian Ethics)
Utility - correct answer ✔The balance of pleasure over pain, happiness and
suffering
