While the ethics of care originated in the feminist literature that argued that men and women think differently about ethical issues, ethicists have argued that this principle should be adopted by both men and women in making moral judgments (Shogan, 1998 ; Tronto, 1995). Thus, to continue my previous example, we could argue that it is unethical for an employer to deceive employees about the dangerous nature of chemicals in the workplace because such deception fails to express the appropriate degree of care for the employees.
