Question 1: “Since there are some debates that will never end (such
as the abortion debate), we can be sure that ethical
relativism is the correct meta-ethical theory”
(1
Points)
True
False
Question 2: In the Ethics of Care, feminist philosophers have argued
that:
a.there are at least two perspectives on moral
(1 Point) situations, and men and women can adopt either perspective.
Thus, any justifiable moral theory should be able to account
for both.
b. b.all men focus on justice, and all women focus on
care, and thus there has to be a new type of ethics
exclusively for women.
c.the “care perspective” is more important than the
“justice perspective”.
d. d.in the context of oppression, there is no room for
ethics at all.
Question 3: Which of the following phrases captures the “principle of
nonmaleficence”?
a.I should help others in need if I can do so without
(1 Point) risk to myself, even if they don’t really want my help.
b. b.I should not prevent harm to others in need because
nonmaleficence means not “interfering” with them, that is,
leaving them to face their own destiny.
c.I should prevent harm to others if I can do so
without risk to myself, so long as my help would fit with
their values.
d. d.I should help others in need even at a high risk to
myself, since this world needs more heroes.
Question 4: “Respect for autonomy” means that:
apatients are left to decide for themselves even when
they are overwhelmed by pain.

, optimal decisions even when they are suffering severe
depression or denial.
c.sometimes physicians will have to allow patients to
make decisions that appear to the physician to be “non-
optimal”.
d. d.a patient’s family should be kept away from the
patient until the decision is made, just to insure they don’t
influence the decision.
Question 5: “According to Kant, we have a perfect duty to never lie,
regardless of the potential benefits a small white lie might
have”
(1
Points) True
False
Question 6: The most important difference between Virtue Ethics and
the other types of normative ethical theories is that in
Virtue Ethics:
(1 Point) we learn about a very ancient type of ethics that can
still teach us something for today.
b. we discover that at root, deontology and
utilitarianism are almost always the same thing, since the
virtuous person always does the right thing!
we focus not on what is the “right” action, but rather
on what kind of person I should be.
d. we find out that we have in fact moved on from this
type of ancient ethics, because today’s world is far too
complex to rely upon virtue ethics.
Question 7: According to Kant’s first version of the “categorical
imperative”:
We ought to follow only universal laws of nature.
(1 Point)
b. We ought to follow the principles that we could
actually desire that everyone else also followed.
We ought to follow the principles that maximize the
overall happiness.
d. We ought to follow the principles that are “prima
facie”.
