Extractions: Our Philosophy and Ethics of Breeding: We believe that the primary reason for breeding traditional Siamese and Balinese cats is to preserve, protect and promote these traditional cats by giving special consideration to the genetic and physical health of the breeding queens and stud cats, with special attention to their temperament. We are dedicated to the ideas that bind together the members of the Traditional Cat Association, Inc. who are owners and breeders of these very special cats. These lovely cats must continue to be available to persons who cherish their great beauty, loyalty, and personality as well as excellent general health and longevity. For us, as breeders, this means careful selection of dams and sires to ensure that the kittens will be highest quality pets; healthy, genetically sound, people-oriented, and conforming to the breed standards of the Traditional Cat Association, Inc. We have entered into the breeding of cats out of love of this now very rare type of cat, and personal enjoyment of helping to find the right potential homes for the kittens. The potential buyers, like us, love and understand the special traits of the Traditional Siamese and Balinese cats. To ensure that inappropriate adoptions do not happen, potential buyers are screened.

Extractions: Southwest State University ABSTRACT: There are two basic types of ethical judgments: deontological judgements that focus on focus on duty and obligation and eudaimonist judgements that focus on human excellence and the nature of the good life. I contend that we must carefully distinguish these two types of judgement and not try to understand one as a special case of the other. Ethical theories may be usefully divided into two main kinds, deontological or eudaimonist, on the basis of whether they take one of the other of these types of judgement as primary. A second important contention, which this paper supports but does not attempt to justify fully, is that neither type of theory trumps the other, nor should we subsume them under some more encompassing ethical synthesis. Introduction: Virtue Ethics Ethical theories may be usefully divided into two main types, deontological or eudaimonist, on the basis of whether they take one or the other of these kinds of judgments as primary. In the main, ancient ethical theories were eudaimonist in both form and content (in the kinds of judgments and terms they took as primary, and in the questions they spent the most time investigating). Most modern ethical theories have been deontological, again in both form and content.

Extractions: AUG Computer ethics is a new branch of ethics that is growing and changing rapidly as computer technology also grows and develops. The term "computer ethics" is open to interpretations both broad and narrow. On the one hand, for example, computer ethics might be understood very narrowly as the efforts of professional philosophers to apply traditional ethical theories like utilitarianism, Kantianism, or virtue ethics to issues regarding the use of computer technology. On the other hand, it is possible to construe computer ethics in a very broad way to include, as well, standards of professional practice, codes of conduct, aspects of computer law, public policy, corporate ethicseven certain topics in the sociology and psychology of computing. In the industrialized nations of the world, the "information revolution" already has significantly altered many aspects of life in banking and commerce, work and employment, medical care, national defense, transportation and entertainment. Consequently, information technology has begun to affect (in both good and bad ways) community life, family life, human relationships, education, freedom, democracy, and so on (to name a few examples). Computer ethics in the broadest sense can be understood as that branch of applied ethics which studies and analyzes such social and ethical impacts of information technology.

Extractions: homiak@oxy.edu ABSTRACT: I am interested in the general question of how to characterize Hume's ethics, in particular, in whether Hume can be seen to offer some version of a virtue ethics. Let me first explain what I take a virtue ethics to be. For a virtue ethics, the central question is: "What kind of person should I be?" rather than "What action ought I to perform?" A virtue ethics is agent-centered in the priority it gives to being a virtuous person (or to having a virtuous character) over doing the moral action. Yet this priority has proven difficult to articulate and defend, since it looks as though character traits can be specified in terms of principles defining the kinds of action in which traits are expressed. If so, a virtuous person is simply someone who acts in accordance with particular principles. Individual virtues, such as courage, then become derivative : they are secondary to the defining and governing principles of action, which are determined by practical reason.
