Thomas Hobbes. W.D. Ross. QUESTION 14 One common objection to virtue ethics is: It is too demanding. It does not give adequate guidance about what to do. It does not provide a way for determining who our role models should be. All of the above. QUESTION 15 How did Aristotle think that virtue could be acquired? It is inborn.

The experiences of women are vital to the full understanding of reality. There are no innate differences betwen men and women. All of the above.

Men tend to be more morally developed than women. Women tend to respond to moral conflict differently than men. QUESTION 19 According to feminist ethics, emotions Are central to moral motivation and moral discovery. Motivate us to act morally but do not help us to discover how we should act. Usually distort our views about morality in negative ways. Are irrelevant to morality. QUESTION 20 One challenge for feminist ethics is that Some moral rules have exceptions.

The point of moral judgments is to vent our emotions. QUESTION 29 In expressivism, a sincere moral judgment is Always true. Always false. Sometimes true and sometimes false. A kind of emotional venting. QUESTION 30 Kant's principle of humanity states It is never permissible to kill an innocent human being. Always treat a human being as an end, never as a mere means. Act only on maxims that can be applied to all of humanity. All human beings, even those that lack rationality and autonomy, are equally valuable. QUESTION 31 What might be a problem for Kant's principle of humanity? The notion of treating someone as an end is vague and difficult to apply. It doesn't deal with ethics toward animals. Sometimes it is permissible to kill a human being. There is nothing that can be applied to all humanity. QUESTION 32 Prisoner's dilemmas are Purely hypothetical examples used in philosophy. Historical examples about problems people faced in jails. Moral problems that occur in jails. Situations that often occur in the real world.
