Is this a genuine question??? How do you think that ethical viewpoints, of all things, can be quantified? The ancient god, Math the Measurer, has been eating you for breakfast!!

"measure of ethical viewpoints?" A point of view regarding ethics is to be measured? As to what? How ethical it is relative to how unethical it is? Or how relatively ethical the viewpoint is, which means the person doing the measurement is judging the ethics of the person with the viewpoint, and the viewpoint is thus irrelevant.... since it is unethical to judge a viewpoint.... because it is the viewer that is to be judged, not the viewpoint. The viewpoint is merely an indicator of the person holding it.
Much like a critic judging someones work. Is that judgment ethical, or is it tainted with prejudice due to the subject matter of the work being judged? Not the work, but the subject matter of the word is being judged, and this would be unethical, and yet it is ethical for the critic to be judging, since that is his/her profession.
So, you want "information" on the "measure" of ethical viewpoints in order to do what? Evaluate the information, or perhaps the measure, or the concept itself? Such information is classified in any case. Call the declassifier hot line and ask for ethics, please. What information is declassified will be available as soon as it is checked as to whether or not it is permissible to be viewed by children. There may be a viewpoint regarding this last hurdle as to whether or not it is legal, but that is awaiting a meeting of the ethics committee.

There is no "scale" or way devised to measure ethics. What is important is what are your ethics? Who are you when no one is "looking"? If you find a wallet full of money, are you going to contact the owner (because his license is in the wallet) or are you going to take the cash and throw away the wallet?
Ethics starts in our own hearts and we can be a positive influence to others by being ethical in all ways.

If you are an ethical person you don,t need this information.Use the old adage[do unto others etc.] Try it You will like it....But I would measure ones ethics by the the way they conduct themselves or manage thier business.
