The Tools of Ethics • Values: Relatively permanent desires that seem to be good in themselves. • Rights: Claims that entitle a person to take a particular action. • Duties: Obligations to take specific steps or obey the laws. • Moral Rules: Rules for behavior that often become internalized as moral values.
