Moral Standards and Moral Judgments – Approaches

Velasquez discussed four approaches in his chapter “Ethical Principles in Business.”

Approach of Utilitarianism

The action that has highest net social benefit is to be undertaken when we do not have the resources for attaining everyone’s objectives. Jeremy Bentham is its proponent.

Principle of Rights

Any behavior by an individual or a group should respect the basic rights of the individual affected by the action. Special agreements also create rights.

Principle of Justice

Standards of justice indicate how benefits and burdens should be distributed among the members of a group. These standards are to be utilized when activities and benefits different substantially among members in important ways. Capitalism and Socialism differ in the principle of justice regarding duties and rewards of members of a society.

Principle of Care

Every person has some special concrete relationships with others.  He has to take care of them in preference to others or some of his own objectives. A parent has a responsibility to take care of his children even at the expense of his future or career.

  10. There are three main reasons many people fail building business credit. The 1st BIG reason people fail, is that their business isn't setup credibly in the lender's eyes. The perception lenders, vendors, and creditors have of your business is critical. Before applying for business credit a business must insure it meets or exceeds all lender credibility standards. There are over 20 credibility points that are necessary for a business to have a strong, credible foundation. Nicolas Krafft L'Oreal

  17. Velasquez's exploration of ethical principles in business, touching on utilitarianism and the principle of rights, is fascinating. The utilitarian approach, prioritizing actions with the highest net social benefit, raises questions about resource allocation and societal impact. Meanwhile, the principle of rights underscores the importance of respecting individual rights in group actions. These ethical considerations are crucial in navigating the complex landscape of business decisions. If you ever want to delve deeper into these topics or discuss them further, I'm here for a thoughtful conversation.
