“Values are the rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should and shouldn't, good and bad. They also tell us which are more or less important, which is useful when we
have to trade off meeting one value over another.”

The utilitarian approach to ethical decision making focuses on taking the action that will result in the greatest good for the greatest
number of people.

![Page 23: Business ethics introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/546facadaf795935718b46c3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The universalist approach to ethical decision making is similar to the Golden Rule.
UNIVERSALISM[Kant’s Theory]
![Page 24: Business ethics introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/546facadaf795935718b46c3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Theory of Rights[Robert Nozick]
• Everyone has a set of rights; and • It’s up to the governments to protect those rights.
![Page 26: Business ethics introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/546facadaf795935718b46c3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Theory of Justice[Blame John and John Rawls]
• Greatest Liberty Principle Each person has an equal right to basic rights and liberties.
• Focus is on outcomes Are people getting what they deserve?
• Strength Basic premise - The protection of those who are least advantaged in society.

Virtue ethics
• Virtue ethics is an approach that deemphasizes rules, consequences and
particular acts and places the focus on the kind of person who is acting.
• The issue is not primarily whether an intention is right, though that is
important; nor is it primarily whether one is following the correct rule; nor is
it primarily
• whether the consequences of action are good, though these factors are not
irrelevant.

“A man named Rahul considers whether or not to steal a drug which he cannot afford to buy in order to save the life of his mother.”
• Rahul predicament(difficult situation).• The mother’s disease.• The druggist’s refusal to lower his price.
Should Rahul steal the drug?
The reason for and against stealing are then explored through a series of questions that vary and extend the parameters of the dilemma in a way design to reveal the underlying structure of moral thought.
