The Science Learning Hub website gives a simple introduction to how people can use different ethical methods to think about right and wrong. It explains that ethics is not always about clear answers but more about discussion and reasoning. The site highlights four main frameworks: rights and responsibilities, consequentialism, autonomy, and virtue ethics. What stood out to me is that the site says the discussion itself is the most valuable part, since people may not fully agree but can learn from hearing different viewpoints. However, this site feels more like an overview than a detailed guide, since it doesn’t explain exactly how to apply the frameworks in real situations.

The Santa Clara University website is more detailed and focuses on giving people a framework they can actually use. It explains what ethics is and what it is not, then introduces six “ethical lenses” like rights, justice, utilitarianism, common good, virtue, and care ethics. It also gives step-by-step directions for making decisions, such as identifying the issue, getting facts, considering the lenses, and then reflecting afterward. I like this site because it feels more practical and could be applied to real-life ethical problems, though it can also feel overwhelming with so many lenses to consider at once.

Overall, the Science Learning Hub is a good starting point for learning the basics, while the Santa Clara site goes deeper and is more useful for actually working through a problem. Together, they balance each other out, with one helping you understand the ideas and the other helping you put them into practice.
