Ethical Argument
An ethical argument is the ability to reflect historical narratives concerning traditions and moral values. The main objective of ethical reasoning is to integrate ethical questions into intellectual work. Subsequently, these questions are mainly concerned with judging the right and the wrong. Unlike the ethical argument, the unethical argument is based on unlawful day-to-day lives. Therefore, this paper seeks to compare ethical and unethical arguments to determine goals for ethical reasoning.
The unethical argument is mainly concerned to provide urgent solutions on a non-intellectual basis. For instance, two best friends argued about which restaurant to take their lunch. One friend argued that the lunch in that restaurant was expensive while the other one argued that the distance they could cover the restaurant was long. Unlike this, the ethical argument lays the foundations of laws and integrity (Dan, 2015). However, both the arguments aim at finding the solution at the end.
Consequently, an ethical argument is highly interested in ensuring justice. For instance, misconceptions about the effects of forest degradation are discussed as follows. One party argued that cutting trees is lawful for providing shelter to humankind since everyone has the right to shelter (Graber, 2015). In contrast, the other party argued that most terrestrial species living in forests might lose their habitat contrary to wildlife laws. (Dan, 2015).
Subsequently, the argument about the law of sanctity of life has condemned the controversial issues like abortion. Some theologies, such as catholic and evangelical Christians, condemn abortion in supporting their religious beliefs (Dan, 2015). Notably, some laws recommend abortion as a crime, just like murder, while others allow abortion in their laws to reduce the population (Graber, 2015).
In conclusion, this paper compared ethical and unethical arguments to determine the role of ethical reasoning. Notably, ethical reasoning is responsible for integrating the significant ethical questions in intellectual work. Subsequently, these ethical questions are mainly concerned to determine justice.
