10 rules to live by

When thinking of ethics, the first thing that comes to mind are the principles that can

determine our behavior to build upon and to reflect on the action that we make or take. Justice is

when something fair is going on or by having good behavior on the situation. Ethics and Justice

can be related because they both have the meaning in being a good person overall. The ethical

framework that my 10 rules consist of are the virtue framework,duty framework,consequentialist

framework.

First, to being on the virtue framework I put on my rules were being kind to one another,

be caring. The virtue framework is the ability to be a better person based on what you could

think or being polite to one another. My rules that fit into the virtue framework are being honest,

thinking about others before you think about yourself, and to be caring. Being honest allows you

to be a better person because it shows someone who you really are if you’re trustworthy or

genuine For example, telling your friend that those shoes really don’t go with that outfit shows

how you’re be honest. Be caring shows how you are a better person and also shows the kindness

and concerns that you have to one another this relates to the virtue framework because it shows

how you’re being a better person and being polite by checking up on someone. And my final rule

is thinking about others before you think about yourself relates to how you can be a better person
by showing respect to someone because you’re thinking about them rather than yourself and

shows how you care for that person.

The next framework that I put was the duty framework. The duty framework is about

what you have to do based on your duty. One of the rules that I put that relate to the duty

framework are showing respect because in order to do something when you get older like a job

for example you need to show respect to the people you are working around and being able to do

good on the duty that you will need to complete on the job. When you have the duty to do

something you have to have the mentality to make a change because if the job is not getting done

then you’re letting yourself change into that position and it will also allow you to be a better

person.

The last framework is consequentialist framework is we focus on the future effect of the

possible courses of action considering the people who will directly or indirectly be affected. The

rules that I decided to group on the consequentialist framework is be helpful, being supportive of

others. This relates to the consequentialist framework because you have an open mindset affect

on the people around you.

My list of rules of being a good person has changed throughout this project because I

wanted my rules to be about caring for other people and to have them be in front of you and to

show respect to one another. Making lots of revisions about how my rules can't make a person

happy, and having lots of rules that were simple that really wouldn’t sound good like smile, but I

wanted to make my 10 rules the best and really make an idea of what rules people should live by.

My life would be happier because if I were to live by these rules it will allow myself to

change and the people around me to change making sure that people have the same mindset that
I have due to the rules and to show how you can think about one another than yourself, and to be

supportive of others and to be positive when others need it shows the type of respect you would

have on the person and to also be open minded. These rules would make society better and a

chance to live a better lifestyle within the community.
