> How do you decide which brand of ethics to teach?

There's two common options chosen:

(1) broad multi-system survey rather than a single system or narrow set, and

(2) teach the system or systems most connected to the target legal system (for cases where ethics is being taught largely to create a safety buffer around legality and anticipate legality in adopting to address where legality had not yet settled.)

When you know why you want to teach ethics, it's fairly trivial to choose the approach.
