1. The term "applied ethics" is usually employed to include bioethics, business ethics, journalism ethics, engineering ethics, and so on. The term suggests that these endeavors consist of the application of an ethical theory or theories to concrete ethical problems in order to guide choice and practice. This is somewhat misleading, however, since in most cases the work in these fields that is said to be applied ethics is not the application of anything that could qualify as a theory.
