THE ETHICAL DILEMMA IN A HUMAN SOCIETY A BRIEF CRITICAL READING OF ETHICAL THEORIES

Abstract

The current article aims, through examining theories of ethics, to identify the causes of the moral decline that our contemporary human society is suffering from. This is done through a brief critical reading of the theories, including what they have added and what has been taken away from them, and when ethics is an influential factor or an independent variable, then, it is a dependent factor or a variable dependent on other influential factors? All of this is in order to identify the causes of this decline and treat it as much as possible.
