Answer to Question 1

A
An ethical person, according to the concepts of justice and ethics, chooses the action that is fair to all, including those people who are the most disadvantaged. Therefore, using a veil of ignorance regarding who will be impacted by a decision allows for unbiased decision making according to this ethical theory.

Answer to Question 2

C
Teleology is an ethical theory that purports that a person must take those actions which lead to good outcomes, and the outcome of the act determines whether it is good or of no value. According to teleology, one can use a less than desirable action (means) to attain a good outcome. An example of deontology would be Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The statement Murder is always wrong is an example of relativism, by which there are no universal ethics and ethical standards are relative to person, place, time, and culture. Living and behaving virtuously relates to the concept of ethics.
