Rules vs Results

Ethics is a really practical subject so maybe the answer to our key question, "How do we figure out what's right and wrong?" lies in looking at each action we perform and deciding accordingly.

Values
People who favour 'values' think our character gives rise to our actions. They think talking about rules and results is less useful because we tend to act in line with our character, not according to ethical theories.


SOW A THOUGHT, REAP AN ACT,
SOW AN ACT, REAP A HABIT,
SOW A HABIT, REAP A CHARACTER,
SOW A CHARACTER, REAP A DESTINY
Chinese Proverb
