The Markula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University identifies five principles
for thinking ethically:
1. The Utilitarian Principle is that the good done by an action or inaction should outweigh any
harm it causes or might cause. An example is not allowing a person who has had too much to
drink to drive.
2. The Rights Principle is that actions should respect and protect the moral rights of others. An
example is not taking advantage of a vulnerable person.
3. The Fairness Principle is that equals should be held to, or evaluated by, the same standards.
An example is equal pay for equal work.
4. The Common Good Principle is that actions should contribute to the common good of the
community. An example is an ordinance on noise abatement.
5. The Virtue Principle is that actions should be consistent with certain ideal virtues. Examples
include honesty, compassion, generosity, tolerance, fidelity, integrity, and self-control.
Give three examples of what would be considered unethical behavior involving management of
quality, and state which ethical principle above is violated
