CASE STUDY FOR BASIC THEORIES AS FRAMEWORKS IN

ETHICS
 Art and Offense
- Art allows us to connect political, spiritual, or philosophical concepts, as well
as to entertain. create a sense of beauty or aesthetic, investigate the nature of
perception, enjoy yourself, or elicit intense emotions Even if we have the legal
right to fully express ourselves through art, it is not morally acceptable.
Because the Philippines is a Christian country, seeing an art gallery where
Jesus Christ is depicted and mocked because the artist believes it is just art is
completely ludicrous. It's an affront to the entire country, in my opinion. As an
artist, you should think about your audience; as a person, you should think
about whether or not anything is ethical, moral, or wrong. The art is
provocative rather than pleasing. It is his responsibility as an artist to be aware
of possible audience reactions; but, I do not consider such behaviour to be art;
rather, it is a statement of disrespect for others' beliefs. Artists have the ability
to express themselves through their work, but there should always be a limit.
There should be some sort of limit; demeaning someone's faith is not art.
II. CASE STUDY FOR VIRTUE ETHICS
 Pornography
- We must practice sexual conduct, and we must grasp that sexual ethics wishes
to educate. From a social, cultural, and philosophical standpoint, we can better
comprehend, assess, and critique interpersonal relationships and sexual
practices. It's about doing the right thing and avoiding the wrong thing,
incorrect. Pornography has now become a topic of discussion; it is described
as the display of various depictions of nudity and sexual actions in print,
videos, and social media outlets. Some people see pornography as sinful,
while others see it as a way to exercise one's right to free speech, but I see it
differently. On the other hand, depending on the use, it is regarded immoral
when watched in public, but not always, when watched privately. Let us be
realistic, for example, a married couple, it is immoral to watch pornography
with the children in the room but when they are alone, they can watch since
they are already married, and it’s their
job to multiply. Virtue ethics as discussed on class, it is a moral system that
emphasizes developing good habits of character, like kindness and generosity,
and avoiding bad character traits, or vices, such as greed or hatred. Virtue
based theories give importance to moral education which melds individuals to
habitually act in a virtuous manner. If you are minor then you are watching
bad things on the internet, then you are totally unethical, you did not practice
proper virtue. And too much of something might lead to addiction, it might
affect the way you interact with others. It is a fact that human beings can’t
resist food, sleep, and sex. Too much of something will lead to habitually
 repeating it. If one keeps on watching pornography, it will become a habit. I
say we put a stop on this by executing age restrictions for inappropriate sites. I
fear that it might affect us and our behaviour.
III. CASE STUDY FOR KANT AND RIGHTS THEORY
 Whistle Blowing and the Duty of Speaking Truth to Power
- To begin with, Mr. Immanuel Kant expressly denies that ethical judgments are
made on the basis of facts, emotions. Instead, his ethical framework based
moral judgments solely on logic. He proposed the notion of rights in law. He
noticed a clear correlation, but also a distinction, between the law's aim and its
enforcement. Citizens entrusted governments with the ability to create laws in
exchange for protection, according to Kant. As a result, governments have no
right to undermine that trust by enacting laws that go against the freedom that
citizens were given. The principle of rights theory is the notion that in order
for a society to be efficacious, government must approach the making and
enforcement of laws with the right intentions in respect to the end goals of the
society that it governs. Members of society agree to give up some freedoms
for the protection enjoyed by organized society, but governments cannot
infringe upon the rights that citizens have been promised.
IV. CASE STUDY FOR UTILITARIANISM
 Animal Rights and Welfare
- The rightness of an action in terms of an external goal or purpose is described
as utilitarianism. Some people believe that animals should be treated and given
the same rights as humans, while others believe that using them for food and
medical research is more important. For a variety of reasons, some believe that
animal exploitation is ethical. To begin with, they believe that people are the
most important beings on the planet, and that all efforts should be made to
ensure their survival. If experimentation on animals is required to battle
disease and find treatments, this takes precedence over animal suffering.
Furthermore, it is believed by some that animals do not feel pain or loss as
humans do, so if we have to kill animals for food or other uses, then this is
morally acceptable. Hidden filming in laboratories by animal rights
organizations has repeatedly demonstrated that animals experience pain in the
same way as humans do, and that they suffer when kept in cages for long
periods of time. Furthermore, a significant percentage of animal research is
conducted for cosmetics rather than illness remedies, therefore this is
unneeded. Finally, green vegetables and fruit have been shown to provide all
of the minerals and vitamins that humans require. As a result, needing to
murder animals for food is no longer an acceptable excuse. To summarize,
while some say that killing animals for study and food is ethical, I believe
there is sufficient evidence to show that this is not the case, and that, as a
result, actions must be taken to enhance animal rights.
V. CASE STUDY FOR JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS
 Patient
- The essence of a socially just allocation of goods in a community is what
Justice and Fairness principles are all about. Fairness is the trait of being
impartial to certain people or individuals. Giving a person their due is what
justice entails. We want to be treated fairly in all situations because we feel we
are all equals and deserve to be treated fairly. Justice as fairness refers to a fair
arrangement of a liberal society's fundamental political and social institutions,
such as the political constitution, the judicial system, the economy, and the
family. The arrangement of these institutions is referred to by Rawls as the
society's basic structure. In this example, the ethical issue concerns a patient
named Mr. Goodwin who visits the hospital. Once a week to get medication
delivered by a nurse. Despite the fact that he is qualified for community care
assistance to have his prescription delivered to him at home. It also stated why
he has continued to come to the hospital for this medication because the
hospital pays for Mr. Goodwin's therapy. But why was Mr. Goodwin admitted
to the hospital in the first place? Perhaps he was the victim of inequity in the
Ministry of Health. He might know someone who works at the hospital. The
best explanation is that he was the one who most needed the resources, thus he
was given this chance. I don't see anything wrong with this; the nurse is the
one who is criticizing. If he requires it, simply give it to him. If there are
others who require similar therapy, then so be it. That is more than plenty as
long as you have something to share. Remember that no one is useless in this
world who relieves another's problems. Reaching down and lifting someone
up is the best exercise for the heart. We rise by helping others to rise.
