It seems the choice between human life and personal gain is an easy one
to make but if people are honest , the decision is often not so easy and
how an individual reconciles personal , organizational and cultural
values as well as ethics in a global setting is something that takes a
great deal of effort and consideration and must take into account the
utility values of their actions . Virtues like charity and honesty can
be universally admired , though not universally practiced . A person of
affluence may be able to donate money to the less fortunate , even to the
desperately poor that may have their lives saved by such charitable
action . However , most people of all income levels choose to buy things
beyond the basic necessities of life , like televisions , expensive foods ,
or a night on the town , and few consider this action to be immoral .
However , when considering the implications of such action in terms of
ethics , the ability to donate to charity and choosing not to makes the
morality behind the uncharitable action unclear . By applying virtue
theory , Kantianism , utilitarianism , and humanistic psychological
analysis to the concept of charity to personal , organizational and
cultural values as well as ethics in a global setting , it becomes
obvious that those who do not donate when they have the means are
committing an immoral act and will only be incomplete humans .
Virtue theory is one of philosophy 's oldest concepts , dating back to
ancient times in both Western and Eastern philosophy . Beginning in
Western tradition with Plato and advanced significantly by Aristotle ,
virtue ethics place precedence on what an individual sees as the best
possible choice for a situation in an attempt to become a good
individual based on character . By following this approach , as Aristotle
stresses , the perception of the particular takes priority in the sense
that a good rule is a good summary of wise particular choices , and not a
court of last resort (Pfaff , 2008 . When using this approach to address
charity , a person would not donate their money to the poor because rules
or an obligation , but because he or she would feel that doing so would
be the best course of action and the most decent thing to do in building
their own good virtue . The ultimate goal of their act is personal
happiness , and by embarking on what they feel is virtuous , like courage
and benevolence , people will be able to achieve their ultimate goal . By
not donating to the less fortunate , the qualities that instill these
virtues and build character are not achieved . Buying personal luxury
items instead of pursuing charity in the community , whether local or
global , is not virtuous by this approach . For Kantianism , the goal is
less to build character through virtue , but to use reason to understand
the best course of action for a particular situation .
All humans are born with free will , and the decision to be charitable
or uncharitable rests within that freedom . The German Enlightenment
philosopher Immanuel Kant...
