ETHC 445N Week 6 Discussion; Caring About Feminism (Option One)

Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: • Textbook: Chapter11 • Lesson • Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to thetextbook) Initial PostInstructions In week three, we were looking at rights ethics with regards to Locke. As a reminder, Locke said we have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property. It is immoral to violate them. Many think we have more rights than those listed by Locke. Some even think we have a right to health care. That means it is the duty of the state to provide each citizen with their medicalneeds. Rights theory says to respect the entitlements we have. If a right is inalienable, it cannot truly be violated ethically even with our consent. We have basic needs. Rights are something beyond needs. They are what we should be authorized to have. We are due what we have a right to. That is not always the case with need. For example, we need food, but people often go hungry. A need refers to something we need physically to exist. A right is a moral entitlement to something. Asking if we have a right to food is a moral question. Needs are determined by the requirements of the body and of material existence. Rights are determined by moral reflection, inquiry, an argument We have a right to own property. We do not need it to live. We could imaginably be allowed to use another's. We have a right to own a home. We can rent. Initial Post Instructions For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2: Option 1: Assess the moral solutions arrived at through "care" (care-based ethics) and "rights" ethics to social issues of ethical import such as poverty, drug use, and/or lack of health care,That is, note any ethical problems that arise related to those particular issues. Then, say how both care-based and rights theory of ethics would solve those problems.Are those solutions correct? Why or why not? What is your own approach there? Option 2: What moral guidelines should we use when it comes to recently introduced healthcare technologies of any kind (you will note and engage with your own examples) and social technologies of any kind (you will note and engage with your own examples)?Involve care-based ethics in your answer Option 1: The ethics of care is closely identified with modern feminist philosophy because the female moral perspective takes a more universal and unbiased point of view in reasoning about what is morally good and bad. Drug users will be looked negatively upon in society. These drug abusers would seek help and the people who work in the field have to put their judgments, beliefs, and values behind them in order to help this person be pure again. There are codes of ethics that workers have to follow to be professional and show they care to help that person. A problem that could arise fromthe therapy that drug abusers will require could be the patient is difficult, the therapist could possibly become frustrated and make immoral decisions. To solve this problem an informed consent is needed. This form helps with therapy relationships and involves the offering of information, the important decision-making capabilities of the patient, and wanting to seriously volunteer to get better. (Roberts & Jain 2011) This solution is correct because when the patient signs this form they have to follow the guideline and the therapist can do their job properly while following codes of ethics. My approach here is to seek help, I believe this the only way of drug use. When you seek help there are people out there who care and want tohelp. References Roberts, L. W., & Jain, S. (2011, May 6).
