Meta ethics tries to make sense of the terms and concepts used in ethical theories such as Utilitarianism and Natural Law. Some people believe that ethical language is extremely meaningful as they argue it is essential to be able to define terms such as “good” and “bad” before we can even begin to discuss ethical theories. However others disagree with this and argue that moral statements are subjective so are meaningless, as they cannot be described as either true or false. Those who hold cognitive theories about ethical language would argue that ethical statements are not meaningless as they are about facts, and can therefore be proved true or false. Ethical Naturalism is a cognitive theory of meta ethics which holds the belief that
• Conclusion • In conclusion, some people should not conclude that having good personal ethics are not necessary in a workplace, and only in your personal life. People need good personal ethicsfor two main reasons. First, good personal ethics are required for a healthy and successful workplace or educational setting.

It is an irrefutable fact that we should help each. However sometimes help to others poses some danger to either us or others. Thus Peter Singer’s argument that, “we ought to prevent evil whenever we can do so without sacrificing something of comparable moral significance” in my view is a better school of thought or a sound moral law. We shall find out how he arrives at this conclusion and how convincing he is. Singer begins his argument by outlining some very important facts about human beings.

Someone who does not respect other people is not respected person. This person has to treat others the way he would like to be treated. As individuals we suppose to have the right to make our own decision, and if those decisions affect others in a harm way we already know there are consequences for those who attend to break the laws they could have everything in their own way regardless of whom pays the consequence. Those unethical behaviors we could not accept, because that will have affected in us all.
Personal Ethical Statement My personal ethical statement Referencing to the ethical inventory I fall under the rights and responsibility lens, It states that I use reasoning skills to determine my duties as well as the universal rules that each person should obtain and follow. My core values are autonomy and rationality over equality. I tend to lean towards protecting the rights of individuals and I am not swayed into believing that individuals should be able to do what they believe is to be right even if others claim that the results are not fair for everyone in the community. I tend to moderately prefer rationality over sensibility. I also find that I use reason to find the rules of life but my actions are tempered my sensibility, being flexible as I strongly follow my intuition and heart.

My ethical blind spot is my belief that motive justifies the method or overconfidence in the process. I rely too much on the system of ethics and to do what it is supposed to do, but I can overcome this by thinking outside of the box and understanding that the system itself is imperfect.

The system is designed to bend not break so that we all come to the same result we just might take a different path to get to it. For example, copy right laws if you use an artist song to make a track of your own but it has pieces of their song in it you must give them credit by posting a disclaimer with it or risk being sued.
