Where do Goal Based Ethics form into a system of boundaries?
Ethics are all about boundaries in any relationship. You have an ethical relationship with yourself and everyone you become aware of in your world. In this example you and mom are doing this bonding thing and testing and building trust and an awareness of what is right and wrong in the process of achieving your basic survival goals. At first you have no boundaries to your behavior. You want or need something and someone eventually will give you what you need or you will die. Mom and dad don’t want that to happen so they take care of you even though you get very demanding at times until they realize you need to begin to learn to respect some boundaries. Very slowly mom and dad help you learn that you are not the only person in the world with goals. This starts to play out in all kinds of ways as you get older and you are gradually more and more capable of taking on some responsibility for achieving some of your goals. This process of growing this Ethics Philosophy can be painful at time
