Answer to Question 1

A
An ethical person, according to 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 that lead to good
outcomes and that the outcome of this act determines whether is it good or of value. According to
teleology, one can use a less than desirable action (means) to attain a good outcome. An example of
deontology is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.. The statement murder is
always wrong is an example of relativism, where there are no universal ethics and ethical standards
are relative to person, place, time, and culture. Living and behaving virtuously relate to virtue ethics.
