Three   Classical Ethical Theories

• Identify and define each of the three dominant ethical      theories in Western philosophy. Describe a situation that you have faced      recently that presented an ethical dilemma. How would you evaluate this      situation and your actions to determine if they were good or virtuous      under each theory?
