Question

United States laws forbid business people to bribe others even in cultures where bribery is expected or necessary. This approach to ethics reflects a ________ view of ethics. Group of answer choices universalist contingency relativist cultural

Answer 1

Answer:

universalist

Explanation:

Universal ethics refers to the moral philosophy generally applicable to all mankind and therefore transcends culture and personal impulse. They prescribe responsibilities for all, they describe privileges for all, they list virtues for all. It's the argument that ethical values hold for everyone and not only for some, that is, without exception, for all. It is the meta-ethical stance that a universal ethic extends to all people, irrespective of their culture, ethnicity, age, faith, nationality, sexuality, or other distinguishing characteristics. Therefore the stand of the United States laws forbidding business people to bribe others even in cultures where bribery is necessary reflects the universalist view of ethics.
