Question

question 15 (1 point) listen nadda believes the following: \it is wrong to lie; however, it is okay to call in sick when i have personal errands to take care of and i dont want to use any of my limited vacation days.\ in this scenario, nadda is an employee who views ethics as ______. a) universal b) a double - barreled argument c) relative d) morally absolute

Explanation:

• Option a (universal): Universal ethics suggest moral rules apply equally in all cases. Nadda’s view is inconsistent (lying is wrong but faking sick is okay), so not universal.
• Option b (a double - barreled argument): This term is not related to ethical views in this context. A double - barreled argument is more about a type of flawed question or statement in research, not ethical perspectives.
• Option c (relative): Ethical relativism means moral judgments depend on circumstances, beliefs, or individuals. Nadda thinks lying is wrong generally but okay in her specific situation (personal errands, not wanting to use vacation days), so her ethics are relative to her situation.
• Option d (morally absolute): Morally absolute means moral rules are fixed and apply in all situations. Nadda’s inconsistent view (lying is wrong but faking sick is okay) goes against moral absolutism.

Answer:

c) relative
