I believe that my ethical perspective is situationalism because I was brought up that way. With both of my parents being teachers, I have had a solid foundation to build upon. The difference

When reading over the packet, I came to find myself disagreeing with one statement that I had read. “The problem with situationalism is that there really is no guidance to suggest when the situation dictates action and when it doesn’t.” As soon as I read this passage, I immediately disagreed with it. The way that I was raised totally disagrees with this idea. I believe that different situations call for different varieties of guidance. Every person born has had some kind of guidance, either by his or her parents, grandparents, siblings, or caretakers. When he or she gets into a situation, I believe that they think of how they were taught to handle that situation. I really don’t know how else I would handle the problem. I would just know how to handle it. I believe it’s all in what your parents have taught you. I have been extremely lucky to have such great parents. I can’t imagine where I would be ethically without them.

I consider situationalism to be somewhat like a rule-based perspective. In a way, different situations tend to have different objectives. When in a situation, one can think of the rules, and try to follow them as closely as possible. Or they could think of a situation that closely relates to the situation that they are in now and judge their following actions upon that scenario. This is my perspective on these two ways of ethical thinking.
