In this week’s chapter, Kathryn Mackay characterizes care ethics as a move from rights and rules (justice ethics) to responsibilities and relationships (care ethics). This is rooted in Carol Gilligan’s generalization of how boys/men and girls/women tend to perceive the world and relate to each other. In her work, Gilligan notes that neither is exclusively masculine or feminine, and that most adults use a mixture of the two. On average, she claims, men tend to use significantly more justice ethics and women tend to use significantly more care ethics. She also argues that the two overlap and complement each other. Discuss how the issues of responsibilities and relationships might overlap with and complement one of the other theories we discussed in class. You might use this ethical issue in your post to help explain what you mean (you can use another example where care & justice might conflict): In the mid-1970s First National Bank of Calhoun, Georgia, loaned money to an older woman to repair her house. As collateral on the loan, the woman put up her milk-cow. Besides her Social Security check, the woman made money by selling fruits and vegetables from her orchard and garden, and sold fresh milk from her cow. She slowly fell behind on payments and the bank decided to call the note due. When the woman showed up at the bank with her collateral (the cow), the bank didn’t want to deal with it, so they let her keep the cow, wrote off the interest, and let her pay the loan principal as she could. This course of action was personally approved by the president/chairman of the bank. It also violated federal banking laws. The federal government forced him out as a bank officer and he was charged with eleven corruption and mismanagement charges (the cow wasn’t the only issue). He was acquitted on 9 charges and the jury hung on the other two–the feds decided not to retry him. The jury decided that he had done the RIGHT thing, regardless of the law. This is a 2 paragraph discussion
