provided. In the report the main focus has been given on the normative theories of
utilitarianism, the Kantian theory and the theory of virtue ethics in relation to the main
players that are recognized in the current case study and their actions. The normative theory
of ethics is the ethics for the specifications of the criteria for the rightness and wrongness of
any action in a moral way. The utilitarianism theory follows the concept of greatest good and
