Relationship-Based Ethics

Relationship-Based Ethics is an approach that emphasizes the importance of personal relationships in moral decision-making. Instead of focusing solely on rules or consequences, it considers how actions affect relationships and the interconnectedness of individuals. This perspective values empathy, trust, and communication, suggesting that ethical behavior arises from nurturing positive connections with others. By prioritizing relationships, this framework encourages individuals to consider the impact of their decisions on friends, family, and the community, fostering a sense of responsibility and care in interpersonal interactions.
