TITLE: Divisions of Philosophy > Ethics
What I learned:
- concerned mostly with morality
- ethics play a large role in the way people live
- morality-conformity to the rules of right conduct
- some scientists have said there are definite standards for human behavior
- decisions should be based mostly on the situation in which one finds oneself
- relativism- any theory holding that criteria of judgement are relative
- relativists say that ethical decisions are related to specific circumstances
- this branch of philosophy is close to religion
1.) What are types of situations where one could find oneself?
2.) What are types of ethical decisions?
