_Ethics and Your Life: Applying Ethical Theories to the Lives of Real People_ provides students with an introduction to various methods of ethical reasoning and their application in our everyday lives. The book underscores the ubiquitous nature of ethics and its importance in helping us better understand each other, ourselves, and increasingly complicated and confusing times. The text begins with an exploration of the divine command theory, followed by moral objectivism, moral relativism or subjectivism, cultural relativism, egoism, altruism, utilitarianism, Kantianism, natural law theory, human rights, virtue ethics, feminism and the ethics of care, sexual ethics, abortion, euthanasia, life and death issues, equality and discrimination, the death penalty, and war and peace. Throughout, the book connects ethical theory with real-life concerns and debates such as terrorism, gun violence, economic inequality, international relations, personal safety, and more. Developed to introduce students to foundational ideas and concepts, _Ethics and Your Life_ is an excellent and easy-to-understand resource for undergraduate courses in philosophy and ethics.
