Task 5c

I have further researched ethics and have discovered there are a variety of ethics that can be identified in the following:

·         Meta-ethics: this is about the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions and how their truth values (if any) may be determined. This meta-ethics was introduced with G.E. Moore’s recognized work Principia Ethica (1903).

·         Normative ethics: about the practical means of determining a moral course of action.  This is also known as moral theory. In the 20^th century moral theories became more complex. In 1971 John Rawls published A Theory of Justice, this book kept normative ethics  on trend.

·         Applied ethics: about how moral outcomes can be achieved in specific situations. This type of ethics tries to tie theory to real life situations, such as public service ethics.
