If there is no sufficient relief of the situation or the hostile environment persists, the offended person should secure help from the Equal Employment Opportunity counselor within six weeks from the incident (Tolle). If the person harassing is the supervisor, the offended employee should report the incident to the next higher official (Carabelli, 2012) If there no action, legal action should be taken
And eudaimonia means living a life of virtue (Hursthouse). Teleology and Deontology These are two of three major methods in the study of ethics (Frazier, 2012)
Consequentialism allows the use of force if it redounds to the good of society (New World Encyclopedia). Virtue Ethics This emphasizes the virtues or moral character in contrast to the mere performance of duties, observance of rules or the consequences of actions (Hursthouse, 2008)
An act is moral or immoral according to the circumstances (Frazier). White Collar Crime This is a non-violent act of deception, which tried by the State o (Moore, 2012)
Religion, Libertarianism and Virtue Ethics Religion is a social institution, which grows out of individuals' collective attempt to structure and understand the university (McGonigal, 2012)
Other types of white collar crime are identity theft, counterfeiting, forgery, price fixing to influence free market operations, and insider trading (Moore, 2012). Sexual Harassment and Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment This comes in different forms, such as physical sexual gestures, crude jokes, written letters or emails, and even direct sexual comments about one's body or clothing (Tolle, 2012)
According to deontologists, rather than speculate about the possible future consequences of our actions -- often a futile task -- we should instead focus upon or duties and obligations as a human being. "At the heart of agent-centered theories (with their agent-relative reasons) is the idea of agency…Our categorical obligations are not to focus on how our actions cause or enable other agents to do evil; the focus of our categorical obligations is to keep our own agency free of moral taint" (Alexander & Moore 2005)
In contrast to the act-based emphasis of deontology, virtue ethics stresses the need for the moral actor to be a 'good person,' and from that good character, good deeds are assumed to flow. "The concept of a virtue is the concept of something that makes its possessor good: a virtuous person is a morally good, excellent or admirable person who acts and feels well, rightly, as she should" (Hursthouse 2012)
Many virtue theories are based on Aristotle's teachings. Aristotle believed that a "virtuous person is someone who has ideal character traits" (Athanassoulis, 2004)
On the other hand, agent-based theories are based on the belief that individuals will try to mimic the virtuous qualities they see in other people based on intuition, and the ethics of care hold that virtue is also found in caring and the nurturing of others. Utilitarianism defines morality in "terms of the maximization of net expectable utility for all parties affected by a decision or action," that is to say, that this theory seeks to determine if an action is virtuous based on how many people benefit from a specific decision or action (Day, 1997)
v). It can be argued that Kant's arguments are echoed in a quote often attributed to Ghandi, "Be the change you want to see in the world" (Lewis, 2011)
He said that it was the intelligentsia's failure and not that of the theory in itself. Hursthouse defined the right action in terms of virtue (Driver, 114)
Hursthouse defined the right action in terms of virtue (Driver, 114). Let us consider the definition provided by Hursthouse (28) in which the author described right action "as it is what a virtuous agent would be characteristically doing in circumstances" (Hursthouse 114)

The utilitarian perspective of ethics is that greatest good of number of people should be achieved. From the aforementioned explanation of basic ethical perspectives, it is clear that virtue may be considered by the classic utilitarian as a derivative category (Louden, 201)
Swanton (8) has somewhat adopted the Aristotle's perspective regarding virtues. "A virtue is a disposition in which both reason and emotion are well ordered" (Swanton 8)
It is also pertinent to mention that some researchers have criticized the notion that ethical theory's main purpose should be providing action guidance. Researchers have termed action guidance as the secondary subject in a moral theory (Zagzebski 35)
As long as your true motivation was morally defensible (such as to protect an innocent person from wrongful arrest or prosecution) as opposed to motivated by a non-virtuous reason (such as for pay), virtue ethics would support your decision (Hursthouse, 1999). Utilitarian Ethics Generally, utilitarian ethics emphasizes the effect of a course of action on the entire community (Beauchamp & Childress, 2009)
An example would be the dilemma of whether or not to lie to the Gestapo about the whereabouts of Jews hiding from persecution in Nazi Germany during World War II. Deontological Ethics Generally, deontological ethics prohibits violating rules, irrespective of the actual consequences or the justice of adhering to rules in exceptional circumstances (Halbert & Ingulli, 2008)
Ethical Perspectives Virtue Ethics Generally, virtue ethics emphasizes the motivation, or reason, for any particular act to determine whether or not it is ethical (Hursthouse, 1999)
