1. Free health care should be available to all people. After all, if that were the case, it
would benefit everyone.
On my views this argument primarily reflect consequentialism ethical perspective in that
the action of free health care will bring more happiness than the alternative action and also the
action morally right. If you weigh the consequence of the free health care it will have a positive
impact to society and many individual, will enjoy the services. The action will promote our own
happiness than it will do to the alternatives.
2. Character education should be part of the public school system in the U.S. We
need to cultivate integrity in our children, and the public school system should play a role in this
important process.
According to my opinion the argument is reflect Deontology/Duty Ethics, ethical
perspective. We know that we are obligated to act with integrity in everything we undertake and
this is a universal rule (Donlevy & Walker, 2013). The morality of this action is right and is
grounded under a series of rules, so character education should be part and parcel of U.S public
school system. So we obligated to act according to the sets rules and regulations.
3. Although many societies have practiced human sacrifice, within the cultures of
those societies, human sacrifice wasn't considered wrong, even though we believe it is wrong in
our culture. So, human sacrifice within those cultures wasn't really wrong.
This primarily reflect Moral Relativism ethical perspective, since according that some
culture they believed in their cultural practices and their beliefs. So the belief sacrificing human
being is right although many human race believe that killing someone is not right decision and is

morally wrong. When it comes to moral relativism, it does not reflect truths of universal morals
but instead do claims based on cultural historical, social and personal circumstances.
4. Same-sex marriage is right because the polls show that most Americans favor it,
even if that is not the case in other countries.
This also reflect moral relativism; according to some culture they believed in their
cultural beliefs. So the belief that same sex marriage is right, is based on personal decision and
circumstances. Although many human race believe that same sex marriage is morally wrong.
When it comes to moral relativism, it does not reflect truths of universal morals but instead do
claims based on cultural historical, social and personal circumstances.
5. The legalization of same-sex marriage is wrong because the government has no
right to legally sanction any form of personal relationship except one: marriage relationships
between a man and a woman. That is the only type of relationship that can lead to procreation,
and the state has a legitimate interest in procreation. Thus, the state has a duty to support
marriage between a man and a woman, and a duty to refrain from getting legally involved in
other types of relationships.
This basically reflect Duty Ethics/Deontology; because this clearly state that action
should morally base on whether action is wrong or right under sequence of rules and regulations
rather than grounded on action consequences. On above argument legalization of same sex
marriage is viewed as wrong since our universal interest legitimacy is human procreation and
there are sets rules to guide us.
6. Dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was wrong because those
acts violated the right to life of many innocent people, and we should protect those rights.
