The case study that I have chosen for this particular paper comes under the section ‘Thinking Critically 1.2’ titled ‘The Man Who Shocked the World’. The case study mainly revolves around a controversial psychological experiment conducted by Dr. Stanley Milgram, a 28-year-old psychologist at Yale University who was also a Harvard graduate with a PhD. He basically chose to study human behavior and provide insights on the capacity of the members of the human race to inflict harm on each other. In order
Differentiate between consequential and non consequential and use a case study to justify which you use. CONSEQUENTIAL There are two expansive categories of ethical theories concerning the source of value: consequential and non-consequential. Consequential ethics is the class of normative ethical theories which believe that the consequences of one's conduct are the definitive groundwork for any judgment about the conduct being right or wrong.

handling the case of different individuals. As a lawyer, they have to predict the consequences or punish from the court based on the crime or evidence available against a perpetrator of the crime. It means that the laws have to become judge themselves before the courts in order to prove the innocence or guilt of a person that would result in consequence or punishment. According to Holmes, Lawyers apply the law of predication by being a “bad man” (Holmes 132). They have to care less for the ethics or patronizing

In this particular case study a shopping mall is under attack by a sniper hiding in the center of the malls clock tower. Rifle shots ring out and several people, including children drop to the ground. This goes on for hours while police try to get the sniper to surrender. He refuses and continues shooting into nearby parking lots, store windows, and nearby streets. One of the officers is a sharp shooter with a high powered rifle.

Actions and character are intertwined, and the ability to act morally is contingent on one's moral character and integrity (Pasci, 2015). Virtue ethics focuses on the context of the situation (Volbrecht, 2002). Ethical analysis of virtue ethics entails: identifying the problem, analyzing context
Since they knew the potential impacts could be very harmful for humans’ health from the research result in 1961, there was no ethical justification to continue the production considering the principle of moral responsibilities, ethics of care, nonmalenficence and ethics of virtue.
