Question

Janet reasons, "It is wrong to lie. However, it is okay to overstate my expense account on my recent business trip because I need the money, and my company has not given me a raise in the past year." In this scenario, Janet is an employee who views ethics as _____.
a. moral absolutism.
b. relative.
c. a double-barreled argument.
d. universal.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) relative

Explanation:

Ethical relativism is the philosophy that suggests this morality is proportional to the values in one's own society. Which is, whether an act is correct or incorrect relies on the moral standards of the community where it is carried out.... The only ethical standards on which the actions of a society could be assessed is its own.
