Weekly Reflection
ETH/355 Understanding Ethics

Learning Team Reflective Summaries
Team B is nearing the end of their Ethics journey and we each provided a summary to provide our thoughts on week fours discussion topics and what we found of interest.

Claudette found the discussion on what makes an action morally right or wrong interesting as well she believes that what makes a moral action right or wrong is the intent behind the action, she found Kant's theory to be sometimes a little confusing, but she believes that the end result of Kant's theory is to treat each person with equality and fairness and that people should not be viewed as a means to an end.
