In this assignment there are total two tasks 1) (Quiz) & 2). Both have to be answered.

1) Task- Quiz: First some Self-knowledge Warm Up -> What Kind of Ethicist Are You?

Welcome to the Ethics Category Quiz! This quiz is designed to help you understand which ethical framework aligns most closely with your personal beliefs. Answer each question honestly, and choose the option that best reflects your views. At the end, you’ll find out if you’re a Deontologist, Consequentialist, Virtue Ethicist, or Relativist. Go Step by Step through the questions by answering them and marking you answer (you can use the Word “Draw” Function).

Question 1:
You find a wallet on the ground with a significant amount of money in it. What do you do?
a) Return it to the owner because it’s the right thing to do, regardless of the situation.
b) Return it to the owner because they will be happy and grateful, and it’s beneficial for them.
c) Consider what a virtuous person would do, likely return it because honesty is a virtue.
d) Think about the circumstances and decide based on the context, possibly keep it if you need the money more.

Question 2:
A company offers you a job with a high salary, but the job involves practices you find morally questionable. What do you do?
