Choose any three (only three) of the following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics:

 

• Autonomy: the duty to maximize the individual’s right to make his or her own decisions.
• Beneficence: the duty to do good both individually and for all.
• Confidentiality: the duty to respect privacy of information and action.
• Equality: the duty to view all people as moral equals.
• Finality: the duty to take action that may override the demands of law, religion, and social customs.
• Justice: the duty to treat all fairly, distributing the risks and benefits equally.
• Non-maleficence: the duty to cause no harm, both individually and for all.
• Understanding/Tolerance: the duty to understand and to accept other view points if reason dictates doing so is warranted.
• Publicity: the duty to take actions based on ethical standards that must be known and recognized by all who are involved.
• Respect for persons: the duty to honor others, their rights, and their responsibilities. Showing respect others implies that we do not treat them as a mere means to our end.
• Universality: the duty to take actions that hold for everyone, regardless of time, place, or people involved. This concept is similar to the Categorical Imperative.
• Veracity: the duty to tell the truth.
