\chapter{An introduction to the Justice-based Ethics}
\section{Preface}
Ethical frameworks are an important part of human societies, from the most primitive societies of the past, to the most advanced societies of the future. Although we may not be aware of their effects, ethical frameworks guide our every action, our every decision, and our every thought, driving the immeasurably complex machine that is the human society. Many ethical frameworks operate on the personal level, and dictate only whether a single person should act - how the actions of one person can be ethical …show more content…
As Mike Waterson's opinions were considered above the opinions of the robotics department, this decision was not just.
\subsection{The Waterfall Model}
\subsubsection{The Decision}
The Waterfall Model of software development was chosen over the Prototype Model, courtesy of Sam Reynolds.
\subsubsection{Background}
Sam Reynolds, due to his background in data processing, chose the Waterfall Model, which he was more familiar with, over the Prototyping model, which was supported by his staff and was a superior choice for the project. The use of the Waterfall Model led to a product that was difficult for operators to use, which contributed the incident.
\subsubsection{Analysis}
Again, Sam Reynolds' decision was being considered above the opinions of most other employees in the robotics decision, which was unfair.

The robot arm was shipped out, despite being unfinished and was internally known to be buggy. …show more content…
It is a highly practical framework often applied unconsciously in reality, but is rarely advocated due to its inherent selfishness. In this aspect, it is quite similar to justice-based ethics, which can be used by a selfish society to immoral ends, but justice-based ethics is less criticized as societal norms are rarely deliberate products of malice, while egoism can be abused to justify any arbitrary malicious action.
\subsection{The Approach of Common Good}
Like justice-based ethics, the approach of common good concerns society - that your actions should contribute to an ethical society, created by the actions of its people. It differs in that it directs a person to make the society good, while justice-based ethics direct a person to follow what the society considers to be good - an inversion.
\section{Comparison: Non-consequentialist ethics}
In contrary, non-consequentialist ethical frameworks concern the actions themselves, rather than their consequences. They define a set of rules by which each action must follow, and therefore dictate whether an action is moral or immoral. Justice-based ethics is non-consequentialist, as are:
