The third branch of ethical theories – Virtue Ethics.

These assignments have been relatively easy up to now to give you the opportunity to earn points early and help move you along. Your task is to demonstrate a solid understanding of the third branch of ethical theories – Virtue Ethics. You may recall that the first two were, Teleology and Deontology, where Utilitarianism was the most common example of the former and Kantian Ethics of the latter. This is a compare and contrast assignment of all three branches with a focus on Virtue Ethics. How is it different from the others? How is it applied differently or similarly? What does it have in common? Where does it differ? You will have to review Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics and Virtue Ethics in order to complete this assignment successfully. Go ahead and formulate your own observations with an eye on Bloom’s Taxonomy. You will find this video useful, but do not lose sight of the purpose of the assignment. https://youtu.be/PrvtOWEXDIQ
