applied ethics issue

Choose an applied ethics issue from one of the previous weeks and explain how one working from a feminist ethical perspective would respond to that issue.

How would this person define the issue and what actions would the person take to demonstrate his or her ethical beliefs?  Describe how this response differs from a utilitarian, deontological, and/or virtue ethics response.  Use specific information from the theories and readings to support your claims.
