There is a trolley car racing down the track toward five workers. The only way to avoid killing those workers is for the trolley driver to pull a lever that changes the direction of the trolley car onto a different track. On the second track there is one worker who will be killed if the trolley changes directions. The trolley driver thinks, "Is it illegal to change the direction of this train and kill that other worker? I think the best way to follow the law would be to follow the train schedule no matter what." So he does not pull the lever to change the direction of the train. Based on the information above, which of the Ethical Theories did the trolley driver use to make the decision? Group of answer choices Cultural Relativism Virtue Ethics Utilitarianism Deontology Social Group Relativism
