1. In consideration of “Is it important to be a good person or to perform good acts?” (virtue ethics v. action ethics); the answer to this question to me is both. A person who is a good person is very likely in my opinion to also perform good acts. Virtue could be a person thinking of assisting in the Peace Corps or humanitarian aid efforts helping people in need. Until this assistance is put into action it is a thought, as just someone who truly cares about humanity and helping where help may be needed. Placing this thought of a virtue into action would create a situation where the ends justify the means as a result of such actions being taken and actually helping people. So the thought is equally important as is performing good acts.

3. In consideration of “Does the process by which decisions are made matter more than the outcomes of these decisions?”(procedural justice v. distributive justice); Again my answer to this question is both. Procedural justice and the mechanisms and what goes into formulating procedural justice is as important as the outcome. I think an example of an ethical and balanced criminal justice system with jury trials for example in a Democracy with checks and balance accountability is equal to distributive justice thereby in effect after the decisions about procedure are fairly constructed. The process is very important in formulation and ultimately carrying thru with the Distributive. Does one matter more than the other? No in my opinion they both go together.

4. In consideration of “Do ecosystems matter for there own sake, or do the only matter to the extent they impact humans? (ecocentric ethics v. anthropocentric ethics); Ecosystems DO matter for there own sake as well as the impact on humans. Ecocentric ethic matter in the matter of Ecosystems as they can remain and sustain a perfectly healthy and balanced environment completely on there own with out disturbance. The benefits of such are many to man kind also inclusive of healthy air to breathe and water to drink not even mentioning an Anthropocentric interest. The human benefit (Anthropocentric) is also important as we are human beings on the same planet. Finding and creating a delicate and sustainable balance between the two are most beneficial to all creation.
