Normative ethics for everyday use

Moral principles:

1. Utilitarianism 
> ACT utilitarianism

Essentially, utiliarianism operates via the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
However, cons include unpredictability of the consequences of actions used in weighing a course of action. And potential negligence

No. Ethics we do not have book. But you can read on Ferrell. The whole book covers the Ethics Syllabus. This include Cognitive Model also of Kohlberg's 6 stages.

Hi there,

Icic. Should have expected a different book as well as I guess the industry of our backgrounds are dissimilar.

Came across Kohlberg some time ago which I think deals with sociological/psychological ideas under an organizational behaviour study.

Hmm ..how are you finding these modules?
