Paper Summary:
This paper questions the ethics of selling one's car knowing that it is defective and applies the ethical systems offered in Utilitarianism, Kantian Deontology, and Virtue Ethics to decide what to do in this situation. The paper discusses each of the theories and shows how they could be applied to the situation.From the Paper:
"In simple terms, Virtue Ethics assumes that the moral person will act morally, and the individual should strive to be virtuous and knowledgeable in order to act rightly. Because of this, this theory does not specifically tell one how to decide on a situation, but trusts that the virtuous person will simply know from their righteous and knowledgeable nature. Therefore, if one were a moral and knowledgeable person, and one decided that one should sell the car, then the action would be correct."More papers on Questions in Ethics:
