As always, I admire atheists who have formed ethical patterns beyond religion.
Hence, to obtain more generalized results, research on ethical reasoning patterns of teachers from different subjects or under different SSI contexts should be conducted.
Whilst reviewing the literature, the author found that existing ethics auditing models (Morimoto et al. 2004; Rosthorn 2000; Kaptein 1998; Carmichael, et al. 1998), has tended to focus on identifying managerial ethics and patterns of ethical behaviour, but little attention has been paid on ethics risk analyses or risk management.
The Mohists also seem to have thought they could ground at least some of these norms specifically, ethical norms in the patterns of action exemplified by tian (Heaven, nature) itself.
Moreover, research into the patterns of ethical reasoning using other indicators (Jones, et al. 2007) can be conducted.
While biological continuity may track the patterns of ethical concerns, it doesn't provide any real explanation for them.
One worry about this strategy is that one might take a mark of ethical realism to be commitment to a truthmaker thesis, according to which ethical truths are metaphysically explained by (or grounded in) the patterns of instantiation of ethical properties.
The results of this study were reported in terms of (1) Teachers' attitudes towards the three bioethical issues, and (2) Patterns of teachers' ethical reasoning.
In the second stage, thematic content analysis was applied to analyze the written responses among the teachers in the questionnaire to identify the patterns of their ethical reasoning on these issues.
Having based the above suggestions on empirical evidence, we also advocate, of course, that the ethical evaluation of any new patterns of practice along the lines suggested is also informed by empirical analysis.
