nevsk [136]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

<h3>Untouchability, in its literal sense is the practice of ostracising a minority group by segregating them from the mainstream by social custom or legal mandate. The term is most commonly associated with treatment of the Dalit communities in Indian subcontinent who were considered "polluting" , but the term has been used for other groups as well, such as the Burakumin of Japan, Cagots in Europe, or the Al-Akhdam in Yemen.</h3>

<h3>Traditionally, the groups characterized as untouchable were those whose occupations and habits of life involved ritually polluting activities such as fishermen, manual scavengers, sweepers and washermen.</h3>

<h3>Untouchability has been outlawed in both India and Pakistan post their independence. However, "Untouchability" hasn't been legally defined till date.</h3>

Gina argues that following procedure is not going to work in this case and that sidestepping the rules will serve the greater go
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Utilitarian

Explanation:

The approach Gina is using in this ethical dilemma is known as Utilitarian approach.

Utilitarianism satisfies the fact that the most ethical choice produces the greatest good for larger number. This ethical theory reveals the right from the wrong by solely focusing on the outcome. It's concern is the consequences of ethical decisions.

Therefore, since Gina is suggesting for a sidestepping of the rules which will result to a greater good than following procedures, Gina is taking the utilitarian approach.
