In your textbook, Ethics for Life, by Judith A. Boss, the author points out that morality is not a simple concept that can be captured in a nice tidy theory; it is a multifaceted concept; and further, morality is not merely consequences [as in Utilitarianism] or merely duty [as in Deontology] or merely having good intentions (Boss, 2019, p. 10). We also must use reason and creativity in decision-making, which as W. D. Ross claimed, is more like creating a work of art than solving a mathematical equation (p. 432). In this assignment, you will work on developing your own moral code. First, you will demonstrate that you understand moral theories and will describe how you might apply them to your own moral decision-making. You will also analyze your moral development (using stage theory) and moral character (through the lens of the Doctrine of the Mean).
