Abstract

This chapter explores the intricacy of ethical frameworks in Social Work, specifically emphasizing virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism. It thoroughly analyses the incorporation of Indigenous perspectives and evaluates the pragmatic effectiveness of these frameworks to foster comprehensive, culturally responsive, and ethically grounded approaches to community welfare. The chapter employs a thorough analytical methodology for a detailed literature and theoretical review. The findings illuminate the crucial significance of virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism in directing ethical decision-making in social work. Incorporating Indigenous viewpoints enriches cultural comprehension and empathy, enabling social workers to adopt a comprehensive and ethically principled methodology. This change in thinking represents a notable change towards inclusive and thorough ethical decision-making within diverse communities.
