Identify ethical theories.

Identification should include

• utilitarianism—concerned with protecting the happiness and well-being of the greatest number of any group over that of the individual
• duty—concerned with acting out of expectation and performed out of a sense of obligation to family, profession, country
• rights—concerned with protecting the happiness and well-being of the individual over that of any group
• virtue—concerned with helping people develop good character traits, such as kindness and generosity, and placing less emphasis on which rules people should follow. 

Process/Skill Questions:

• How might utilitarianism affect an engineering project?
• Why is duty an important ethical theory?
• When would it make sense to choose rights over duty and vice versa?
