Ethics is the principles of right and wrong that show behavior or  the conducting of an activity. In the lecture we discussed three ethical frameworks that are Deontology, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics. Deontology is ethical definition of right or wrong based on person`s obligation. Deontological ethics highlights the value of every person. On the other hand it focuses on action instead of outcomes. Secondly, utilitarianism is defined as the actions as being “right” or “correct” based on ability. The most popular type of utility is to maximize the greatest happiness for the most people. But happiness cannot be the only part of the principles upon which we make decisions. Thus utilitarianism will ultimately fail. Lastly virtue ethics is the theory which emphasizes virtues of mind, and character, and sense of honesty. Virtue is a trait which allows one to fulfill one’s function well (Aristotle). As I concluded, virtue ethics make the most sense to me. Because it based on courage, temperance, truthfulness and righteous indignation. It allows us to become brave, should always be truthful, always say truth, and  should always responding to injustice, when you see injustice you should doing something about  it. As compare to other two ethics that are Deontology and utilitarianism, virtue ethics are different as it focuses on being over doing.Framework of ethics
