Maternal Ethics Pattern

A society needs moral authority to provide people with moral samples in order to survive. But is the feminine moral sample different from masculine sample? Are the moral virtues which are considered in women’s ethics pattern different from men’s moral virtues? Similar questions appeared to be common in Western world after women’s movement and up to now feminists have tried to find proportionate answers to them. However, so far none of the feminists could offer a constant state for maternal ethic which is considered in the format of a collection of behaviors dependent on settings and requirements. A mother is a passive and powerless creature in Western culture. But in contemporary moral feminism approach, they try to achieve a stronger deduction in maternal thinking. In this article by reviewing the history we are to investigate three answers: the equality of men and women, moral differences between women and men and moral superiority of women based on ethical samples. Finally, maternal ethics pattern components are considered, although feminists and anti-feminists have criticized this pattern for many different reasons such as impatience in encountering answers to more complicate issues, highlighting the maternal role and omitting the paternal role.
