Solution
Reason-based ethics are ethics based on obligations, such as the obligation topay your taxes, to tell the truth, etc. My example of reason based ethics is that I choosenot to break the law because it is illegal and there are consequences if I were to do so.
Emotion based ethics are ethics based on the way you feel feelings such asanger ,fear, happiness, sadness, etc. All control the way you act based on theseemotions make up emotion based ethics.My example of emotion based ethics is whenmy brothers were killed I felt anger toward their killers and sadness for my lost so I feltthat testifying against their killers would be the right thing to do.
Intuitionism is (also called moral intuitionism) it is a family of views in moralepistemology (and, on some definitions, metaphysics). My example of intuitionism isthey day my brothers die I had a bad feeling about who was at the door and told him notto open it because I thought something bad was going to happen.
