Can a self-interested person be a moral person? Explain the difference, if there is any, between being selfish and being self-interested? What are the differences between acting prudently and acting morally? Yes, a selfish person can be a moral person to a certain extent. Depending on the circumstances and what’s at stake. A selfish person may be selfcentered and self kept, however, they might not directly going out and causing harm to others. In itself it is somewhat being morally right. A self-interested can also be somewhat of a moral person. It’s similar to being a self-absorbed person. A self-interested person might be more willing to assist someone, especially if it makes them look good. As for selfish person, they are more likely to not lend a helping help. The difference between acting prudently and acting morally, acting prudently tends to be more concerned about the future outcome and consequences. However, acting morally can be applied in a current issue and how it can be resolved, without much consideration of the future outcome and consequences. Your Answer: What is the difference between a process view of distributive justice and an end-state view? The difference is that the process view of distributive justice concerns the justification of the allocation of resources within a society. While the endstate view is to ensure that the distribution of wealth in a society has a certain structure. The process view of distributive justice is questioning if the allocation of resources distributed in is justifiable. The end-state view is used to ensure that the distribution of wealth (resources) is structured. Question 29 7.5 / 7.5 pts Your Answer: Do you think that there should be equal opportunity in a just society? What would you mean by equal opportunity? Do you think that it is a realizable ideal? Yes, I do believe that there should be somewhat of an equal opportunity in a just society. Equal opportunity means that those in the society, regardless of background, ethnicity, culture or views, have the same unbiased treatment and equal opportunity to reach their goals and dreams based on their own capabilities. I think this ideology can be realized to a certain extent. But not fully realized like we’d wish it hope for. As wealth, fame, influence and connections play a huge factor in such situations.
