THE BASIS OF ETHICAL THEORYThe basis of ethical theory is the idea that to justify an action, we have to examine all thereasons in favor of and against the action.To examine the reasons to base our justification of an action, we need to ask questions(Duska, 2011).Ask questions such as:▪Is the action good for me?▪Is the action good for society, or will it harm society?▪Is the action fair or just?▪Does the action violate anyone's rights?▪Have I made a commitment? (Duska, 2011).
