A. Descriptive ethics, also known as comparative ethics, is the study of people's beliefs about morality. It contrasts with prescriptive or normative ethics, which is the study of ethical theories that prescribe how people ought to act, and with meta-ethics, which is the study of what ethical terms and theories actually refer to. The following examples of questions that might be considered in each field illustrate the differences between the fields: Descriptive ethics: What do people think is right? Normative (prescriptive) ethics: How should people act? Applied ethics: How do we take moral knowledge and put it into practice? Meta-ethics: What does 'right' even mean? Normative ethics is the branch of philosophical ethics that… [cont.]

Ethics and Mortgage Lending: What do you think is important?
Q. If you had a chance to tell mortgage brokers, originators, lenders, and other professionals what you consider unethical, what would you tell them? I am preparing a class on Ethics that will be offered to mortgage professionals throughout the country, and would like some additional input. We have the framework of the class, but I'd like to hear what ideas customers and other lending professionals might have that could be included. Is there anything you want them to be sure to hear and discuss? Any specific examples of ethical or unethical behavior? Anything else you think should be covered?

A. They are obliged by morality to treat each case individually. Quite often, due to the rigid evaluation process of credit worthiness of the borrower, many good people are rejected. They may have full intention, and a strong sense of commitment, when they go to a bank to borrow for their home but quite often they are left out in the cold. No consideration is given to them simply because they may fail to meet one or two simple and minor requirements. The lenders have that ethical obligation to re-evaluate such hardship cases and make exceptions. This can only happen when they apply the human touch to lending practise instead of behaving like robots, who are too quick to cover their butt, rather than help build communities.

Asked by Rami - Sun Jun 7 15:47:14 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Feminist ethics is the radical notion that women are equal to men. Well, women have been historically perceived as non-rational, highly emotional individuals. It is necessary to critique things from a feminist perspective because men have established the structures of multiple societies. Consider America, "all men are created equal," just some wear shackles, and men really means "men;" women couldn't vote. Look at businesses, executive offices, etc. All are predominately run by men. Who knows what your question wants specifically though.

A. A contractual agreement is one that parties enter into freely and sign stating they intend to abide by all stipulations in the agreement. The Bill of Rights is what the US government states every citizen is entitled to under it's laws. The Ten Commandments are a set of rules and standards which address how people should live in order to have a society that can survive without total chaos. It is also believed that these commandments are the actual laws of God. A Code of Ethics is something which is drawn up to uphold law and order for positions of authority.

A. Normative ethics is the branch of philosophical ethics that investigates the set of questions that arise when we think about the question how ought one act, morally speaking? Normative ethics is distinct from meta-ethics because it examines standards for the rightness and wrongness of actions, while meta-ethics studies the meaning of moral language and the metaphysics of moral facts. Normative ethics is also distinct from descriptive ethics, as the latter is an empirical investigation of people s moral beliefs. To put it another way, descriptive ethics would be concerned with determining what proportion of people believe that killing is always wrong, while normative ethics is concerned with whether it is correct to hold such a belief.… [cont.]

A. Business Ethics is creating long term shareholder value while appropriately distributing justice (mainly financial) amongst stakeholders. Enron destroyed long term shareholder value a number of ways: 1) defrauded the shareholders by creating special purpose entities where profits could be illicitly recorded even though they were not realized and were not technically in accordance with Accounting standards. 2) defrauded other stakeholders (creditors and employees) by making promises which relied on information they already knew was false Thats a brief synopsis, but you can look at the detail of the partnerships, the manipualtion of debt and recording of non-existent profits through further reserach

What could be considered a good foundation, for a theory of ethics?

Asked by Miguel C - Tue Jun 26 12:38:25 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Depends. A logical ethical system must begin with a premise and work to support that premise. Pick your core belief ... a judgemental supreme being, or karma, or enlightened self-interest, or self-actualization, or whatever ... and establish your ethics towards that belief. Thus, an ethical response to someone kicking you in the shins would vary considerably, depending on your core premise: retaliate in kind, sympathize, run away, or kill, or what have you. This is not a simple process, naturally, and what seems to me to be a good foundation may not work for you.
