,Section A - Ethical Theories AND Frameworks
Q1.
In a debate about moral realism, which position is most consistent with the claim that
'moral truths are discoverable through rational intuition, independent of human desires or
cultural conventions'?
A. Moral anti-realism B. Moral relativism
C. Moral realism D. Moral nihilism
Correct: C - Moral realism
Rationale:Moral realism asserts that moral facts exist objectively, independent of human
beliefs or attitudes, and can be known through reason or intuition. Anti-realism, relativism, and
nihilism deny such objective moral truths.
Q2.
Which of the following best captures the distinction between act utilitarianism and rule
utilitarianism in addressing a moral dilemma?
A. Act utilitarianism evaluates each action B. Act utilitarianism prioritizes rules over
individually, while rule utilitarianism follows consequences, while rule utilitarianism
rules that maximize utility when universally prioritizes consequences over rules
followed
C. Act utilitarianism focuses on character, D. Act utilitarianism is a form of deontology,
while rule utilitarianism focuses on duties while rule utilitarianism is a form of virtue
ethics
Correct: A - Act utilitarianism evaluates each action individually, while rule utilitarianism
follows rules that maximize utility when universally followed
Rationale:Act utilitarianism assesses the consequences of each specific act, whereas rule
utilitarianism determines right action by adherence to rules that, if generally adopted, produce
the greatest good. The other options misrepresent both theories.
Q3.
In a contemporary bioethics case, a hospital ethics committee must decide whether to
allocate a scarce ventilator to a patient with a higher chance of survival but a history of
substance abuse, or to a patient with lower survival odds but a healthier lifestyle. Which
ethical principle would most likely justify prioritizing the patient with higher survival
chances solely on medical outcome?
A. Justice as fairness B. Respect for autonomy
Page 3
, Section A - Ethical Theories AND Frameworks
C. Beneficence D. Non-maleficence
Correct: C - Beneficence
Rationale:Beneficence involves acting in the best interest of the patient by maximizing
positive outcomes, such as survival. Justice, autonomy, and non-maleficence focus on
fairness, patient choice, and avoiding harm, respectively, which are not primary in this
outcome-based allocation.
Q4.
Which of the following ethical frameworks is most likely to reject the use of deception in
research, even if it yields significant scientific benefits, because it violates the principle of
informed consent?
A. Utilitarianism B. Kantian deontology
C. Ethical egoism D. Moral relativism
Correct: B - Kantian deontology
Rationale:Kantian deontology emphasizes respect for persons and the categorical
imperative, which prohibits using people as mere means and thus requires informed consent.
Utilitarianism could justify deception if benefits outweigh costs, while egoism and relativism do
not provide universal principles against deception.
Q5.
In the context of business ethics, which concept is best described as 'the duty of a
corporation to act in the best interests of its shareholders, even if it means sacrificing
social or environmental goals'?
A. Corporate social responsibility B. Stakeholder theory
C. Shareholder primacy D. Ethical pluralism
Correct: C - Shareholder primacy
Rationale:Shareholder primacy asserts that corporations have a primary fiduciary duty to
maximize shareholder value. CSR and stakeholder theory broaden obligations to other
parties, while ethical pluralism is a general metaethical stance.
Q6.
Which metaethical theory holds that moral statements are expressions of emotional
attitudes rather than propositions that can be true or false?
A. Moral realism B. Emotivism
