“…FBL and TBL marketing are grounded in mainstream utilitarian ethics (perhaps combined with an overlay of deontological ethics; Hunt 2017 ). In contrast, mainstream utilitarian and deontological ethics are downplayed in SET marketing, which instead is grounded primarily in virtue ethics, a third main school in the field of ethics (Baumane-Vitolina et al 2016 ; Laczniak and Murphy 2019 ). Attention to virtue ethics has been growing in the business and marketing ethics literatures, but it remains under-developed (e.g., Arnold et al 2015 ; Ferrell et al 2013 ; Laczniak and Murphy 2019 ).…”

“…The teleological approach is aimed at measuring the degree of conformity to the consequences of behavior with moral rules. The correct one is the results that provide the best output (Baumane-Vitolina et al, 2016;Sadykova et al, 2021;Svensson and Wood, 2011). The goodness or badness of the results of an action makes it right or wrong (Özateş, 2010).…”

This study, it was aimed to determine the predisposition levels of teachers and teacher candidates to ethical values. The sample of the study consisted of 1305 educators, 784 teachers, and 521 teacher candidates in 15 different branches in the 2020-2021 academic year. The sample of the research conducted in the relational screening model was selected by a simple random sampling method. In the research, "The scale of the inclination to ethical values" developed by Kaya (2015) was used as a data collection tool. The scale has three dimensions: love, justice, and cooperation. In the analysis of the data, arithmetic mean (x̄), standard deviation, frequency, percentage, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis test were used and a .05 significance level was taken into account in the interpretation of the data. According to the research findings, teachers and teacher candidates got very high scores on the scale. While there was no difference in gender for the level of susceptibility to ethical values; significant results were reached in favor of teachers in terms of status; in favor of physical education teachers in-branch comparison; in favor of those with more than 16 years of service according to professional seniority and in favor of those who do regular physical activity. As a result of the research; it has been seen that teachers and teacher candidates are very inclined to ethical values and they internalize the value of love the most. Planning functional pre-service and in-service training for teacher candidates who have not yet started the profession or for teachers who are new to the profession; it is recommended that educators create an environment and time for regular physical activity.

“…Consequentialism bases value and judgement on the induced consequences. A most prominent subtype is that of utilitarianism, which states that the consequences should maximize a certain utility for an action to be morally "better" (Baumane-Vitolina et al, 2016). This utility can be human wellbeing.…”

“…Another prominent set of rules is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which the declaration has been signed by almost all the countries, indicating that consolidated rules can be achieved at a global level despite certain discrepancies in ethical views among cultures and societies. Rule-based/deontological ethics have been prominently characterized by Immanuel Kant (Baumane-Vitolina et al, 2016). These ethics are more complex and not guaranteed universal, but they are upheld and relevant for human society in particular.…”

Relevance of attributional and consequential life cycle assessment for society and decision support

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an essential tool for assessing the environmental impact of product systems. There are two main types: attributional LCA (ALCA), which assesses the global impact share of a product's life cycle, and consequential LCA (CLCA), which evaluates the consequential impact of a decision. In our analysis, we explored the relevance of these types for society and their ability to aid decision-making. This analysis builds upon existing literature and incorporates two ideological and three pragmatic criteria. First, when it comes to realistic modeling as desired in the context of sustainable development, in theory, CLCA attempts to model realistically, whereas ALCA falls short to a certain degree because of conceptual rules, e.g., artificial splitting of co-product processes. Concerning the second criterion of alignment with ethics, CLCA completely aligns with consequential ethics, where an action is judged based on its consequences. This alignment of CLCA makes it undoubtedly relevant in a world where we aim to obtain favorable consequences in the future, e.g., meeting sustainability goals. ALCA is only partially consequential, as it is restricted by conceptual rules relating to deontological ethics and, for example, covers the relative past of the product. Since deontological ethics, i.e. judging an action based on its alignment with rules, is generally relevant for our modern human society, there is room for complementarity in ethical relevance between ALCA and CLCA. However, the conceptual rules of ALCA (e.g., additivity) and their relevance have not been accepted by society. As a result, ethical acceptance of ALCA is still required. In the context of decision support, CLCA evaluates the consequences of decisions, while ALCA encompasses the approval and sharing of potential responsibility for the environmental impact throughout the life cycle of the product associated with the decision. We also highlight the unique valorization of Organizational ALCA, which entails the aforementioned aspects for the organizations responsible for the product. Concerning the three practical criteria, the following conclusions were drawn. Although ALCA has received the most attention in terms of standards, only CLCA can currently be consistently conducted in a reliable manner. This is because the current life cycle impact assessment methods applied in ALCA do not yet partition environmental multi-input processes. CLCA should be given greater prominence in standards. Furthermore, the complexity and uncertainty associated with modeling may often be only slightly higher for CLCA than for ALCA, mainly due to the consideration of change resulting from a decision. However, both ALCA and CLCA modeling may be similarly complex and have equally high levels of uncertainty as both methods encompass past and/or future projections (e.g., prediction of future background processes). Finally, ALCA modeling may be viewed as a practical approximation of CLCA, but the current CLCA models are more suitable for studying consequential effects. As CLCA modeling and databases continue to improve, this distinction will become even more pronounced.
