Final answer:
The answer is D, 'Corporate driven,' because it is not a moral principle or philosophy, unlike the other options which include Egoism, concern for others, and general moral principles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which option is not an example of an ethical criterion. Option D, 'Corporate driven,' does not qualify as an ethical criterion because it suggests a motive that is aligned with corporate interests rather than with a moral principle. In contrast, the other options listed represent ethical philosophies that prioritize certain moral principles or attitudes:
- Egoism (both strong and weak) is a view that our own self-interest should guide our actions.
- 'Concern for others' describes an altruistic perspective that others' welfare should be a priority in making moral decisions.
- 'Principle' refers to a general moral rule or standard that guides behavior, such as utilitarianism or Kantian ethics.
Ethical criteria are standards by which we determine what actions are morally right or wrong. They can be based on self-interest (Egoism), concern for the well-being of others (altruism), or upon fixed moral principles.
