Right acts can be:
Obligatory: You are required to do x.
Optional: You are permitted to do x.
Supererogatory: You are morally exemplary if you
do x.
Action
Wrong acts are impermissible.
Deontological approaches to ethics argue that an
action is intrinsically right or wrong. For example,
breaking promises is inherently wrong. It can never
be justified.
One may also assess a situation by considering what
will happen if one acts in certain ways.
Teleological approaches to ethics argue that an
action is morally right if it leads to the best
Consequences
consequences for those affected.
Promise breaking may be morally permissible if
breaking the promises leads to the best
consequences.
We tend to value certain traits that characterize a
"good" person. We call these traits virtues.
Vices by contrast are traits that characterize a
Character person of bad character.
Virtue ethics is an approach to morality that
emphasizes the formation of good character as
essential to the good life.
Why we act as such is critical to our moral
assessment of situations.
An example:
Tom observes his rich neighbor James who has
recently been robbed and now lays beaten and
bloodied in front of his home.
Motive
Tom decides to help his neighbor. He does what is
right.
Tom doesn't really like James.
Tom decides to help James because he knows James
to be a generous person and believes he will be
financially compensated for his troubles.

Metaethics—a branch of ethics concerned with
questions like:
Why should I be moral?
Metaethics What is the status of moral claims?
Are moral claims objective or subjective?
What does it mean to say that something is morally
right or good?
Moral claims are right if they correspond to the will
of God.
Moral claims are wrong if they contradict the will of
Divine Command Theory
God.
Morality, argue advocates of DCT, is theonomous
(God-determined), not autonomous.
DCT makes the claim "God is good" redundant.
DCT says an action is good if God commands it.
If this is true, than to say "God is good" is simply to
say that God does what God says he will do.
However, usually when we say "God is good" we
presume that our statement has real substance.
Problems with DCT
DCT also renders morality completely arbitrary.
If God commands a person to rape and kill, would
this make raping and killing right? DCT suggests that
this would be the case.
If God is love, than aren't we also saying that God is
limited to doing and commanding loving acts?
Moral rightness is independent of God's will.
The independence thesis "God is good" means that God always obeys the
moral law.
