Which concept states that there can be more than one moral view that is worthy of respect?

• A. Cognitive Bias
• B. Moral Pluralism
• C. Ethical Fading
• D. Moral Muting

Answer: (B)

The main concept is moral pluralism: the view that there can be more than one morally worthy perspective on an issue. It accepts that different values, cultures, or contexts can lead to legitimate, well-reasoned moral judgments, and that no single moral framework always captures all cases. For example, in a diverse organization, some people may value community welfare while others prioritize individual rights; both can be deserving of respect depending on the situation.

Cognitive bias refers to systematic errors in thinking that affect judgment. Ethical fading happens when the ethical dimensions of a decision become obscured or overlooked. Moral muting is when moral concerns are silenced in discussion or action. These describe processes that reduce or hide moral consideration, not the idea that multiple legitimate moral views can exist simultaneously.
