In Normative Ethics, the object is formed by questions related to the foundation of morality analyzed from the three great ethical systems (virtue ethics, ethics of duty, and consequentialist ethics), as well as in the study of fundamental concepts, such as rules and norms, means and end, action and occasion, acts and activities, ability, free will, freedom, prescription, facts and acts, good, value and obligation, emotions and feelings, responsibility, otherness, benevolence, happiness, respect, justice, equity, friendship, will, compassion and others. In Applied Ethics, the object of research is technical and specific issues related to the domains of politics, law, society and the environment, education, religion, history, psychoanalysis, or other topics, such as corruption, tolerance, poverty, eugenics, abortion, euthanasia, death penalty, violence, family, war, etc. Finally, in Metaethics, the object of study are questions related to the ontological statute, the objective or subjective character of moral qualities, or the way in which they are accessible to us, which will be verified from the following axes in which the debate in the area has developed: Realism/Antirealism, Naturalism/Non-Naturalism, Descriptivism/Non-Descriptivism, and Cognitivism/Non-Cognitivism.
