Question

Deontological ethics, by contrast, is based upon the belief that human beings are rational creatures who should freely choose to perform right actions because of their inherent correctness, without regard to their consequences, and which respect the freedom and integrity of others as if to establish universal rules that could be followed by everyone. Virtue ethics, however, reflects the belief that moral behavior is the result of character (an individual's personal sense of morality) which is developed through the good." experience and life-long habit of seeking to achieve fairness with respect to human interaction -"the Which of these three approaches to determining guidelines for human behavior do you feel is the most alid and why?

Explanation / Answer

Virtue ethics has upper hand because life is a mix of good and bad,and every time a person has to make choice between them. Deontology is rigid in nature and hence, allows less room for personal emotions that effects the choice of morality.Virtue ethics on the other hand is flexible as it's more personal, a person can make choice according to the situation that's based on his conscience.The other reason is values differ from culture to culture, and the set of moral values of a person depends mostly on his/her culture and people with whom he/she interacts,deontological ethics seeks universality ,that makes hard to follow it.
