Question

Identify the moral perspective at work here:

At the supermarket, Vickie just ran her cart into a display of jars with jams and preserves, and now the aisle is full of broken glass and jam. She feels like leaving the store as quickly as possible. Is that an acceptable course of action?
No, it isn't; people like us believe that it's wrong to let others clean up the mess we've made. Maybe if she lived in some other kind of place it'd be OK, but not here.

Answer 1

Answer:

Utilitarianism.

Explanation:

The moral perspective is utilitarianism because if Vickie cleans the broken glass and jam, she would be doing an activity that brings happiness and contributes to the well being of other people. She will benefit other people since she is cleaning her mess. We could say that she is accountable for her actions. Also, Vickie is preventing other people from getting hurt with the glass or slippery floor.
