Question 4

The masculine theory on ethics seem to be based on the obligation and duty. The

Feminist theory of ethics are based on love and trust. And on a personal note either of

these theories on their own don’t make a dam bit of sense. And even together gather very

little weight. The benefits of ethics that are centered on obligation are pretty obvious.

Society seems to have this group of rules to keep society in order and then a certain sense

of responsibility is promoted. If we to compare this to a family it would say that the man

was to play the father figure and set the rules and discipline for breaking those rules and

other things like that.

Alone it doesn’t hold any ground. Then theirs the feminist theory of love balances the

scale. The theory, which is based on trust, is suppose to be taught by the mother. But

according to Baier, it is not simply enough to teach obligation without understanding the

purpose of it. It is typically the traditional mother role. These rules and discipline,

teaching the moral values and nurturing can they be explained. Let’s use a common quote

of “so far so good” and this seems to go along well in the parenting department. Baier

seems to make a point with obligation. That it’s a person’s obligation to relies weather or

not they can instill the love and trust into a person they are bringing into the harsh world.

This should be decided long before giving birth to a person otherwise they shouldn’t give

birth.

But these things love and trust make a person vulnerable (Baier emphasizes ). It must

be learned on when to and when not to trust. Baier says this can replace “… laws with a

security increasing sacrifice of security, distrust promoters of a climate of distrust.” This

point sound unimaginable to me. Is it time for a change? Going back to discuss the

family, it is quit possible and in some circumstances; better to raise a child solely by one

parent but with the balance of both mother and father but is strong and make logical

sense. In some situations I guess it would be better to use these ideas separately but put

them together and they seem to build a strong balance with out going over the deep end.
