Fundamental moral implications for professional practice inherent to the Family and Consumer Sciences Body of Knowledge (FCS-BOK) are revealed by using paradigms conventional to normative ethics. A product-oriented teleological ethic is linked to the FCS-BOK core concepts: basic human needs, individual well-being, family strengths, and community vitality. A process-oriented deontological ethic is connected to the FCS-BOK integrative elements: Human Ecosystems and Life Course Development theories. These established tools of ethics identify the moral platform intrinsic to the FCS-BOK and can be used to more intentionally reflect the ethics espoused in the FCS-BOK through professional decision-making and action.
