Basic and intermediate moral concepts: summary tables

These tables provide summaries of basic moral concepts and intermediate moral concepts. These summaries need to be completed by seeing the concept in a specific case. Basic moral concepts include right, duty, virtue, good, and responsibility. These cut across different practical disciplines in which ethics enters such as business, engineering, and computing. Intermediate moral concepts are specific to a given practical discipline. In the Environment of the Organization, you will study privacy, intellectual property, free speech, responsibility, safety, corporate social responsibility, and responsible dissent. Privacy will be introduced in Toysmart but continue on through Biomatrix, Therac, Hughes, and Drummond. Free Speech will be explored in terms of transferring information in Toysmart, defamation in Biomatrix, informed consent in Therac, and responsible dissent in Hughes. These tables provide summaries to get you started on the concepts but a full understanding requires you see them in the context of a specific case.
