Types of Inquiry:
• The three types of inquiries, in solving ethical problems are:
Normative inquiry
Conceptual inquiry
Factual or descriptive inquiry
Normative inquiry
Normative inquiry
“What should I do?”
•“Is it wrong to keep it if I really need the money?”
•“Would I want someone else to return my wallet if I lost it?”
•It seeks to identify and justify the morally-desirable norms or
standards that should guide individuals and groups.
•It also has the theoretical goal of justifying particular moral
judgments.
•Normative questions are about what ought to be and what is good,
based on moral values.
Examples of Normative inquiry:
• 1. How far does the obligation of engineers to protect public safety extend
in any given situation?
• 2. When, if ever, should engineers be expected to blow whistle on
dangerous practices of their employers?
• 3. Whose values ought to be primary in making judgment about
acceptable risks in design for a public transport system or a nuclear plant?
Is it of management, senior engineers, government, voters or all of them?
• 4. When and why is the government justified in interfering with the
organizations?
• 5. What are the reasons on which the engineers show their obligations to
their employees or clients or the public?
Conceptual Inquiry:
• It is directed to clarify the meaning of concepts or ideas or
principles that are expressed by words or by questions and
statements.
Conceptual Inquiry:
• (a) What is meant by safety?
• (b) How is it related to risk?
• (c) What is a bribe?
• (d) What is a profession?
• When moral concepts are discussed, normative and conceptual
issues are closely interconnected.
Factual or Descriptive Inquiry:
• It is aimed to obtain facts needed for understanding and resolving
value issues.
• Researchers conduct factual inquiries using mathematical or
statistical techniques.
• The inquiry provide important information on business realities,
engineering practice, and the effectiveness of professional
societies in fostering moral conduct, the procedures used in risk
assessment, and psychological profiles of engineers.
Factual or Descriptive Inquiry:
Factual or Descriptive Inquiry:
• 1. How were the benefits assessed?
• 2. What are procedures followed in risk assessment?
• 3. What are short-term and long-term effects of drinking water
being polluted?
• 4. Who conducted the tests on materials?
