This document discusses care ethics and how it focuses on maintaining relationships through promoting the well-being of both caregivers and care receivers. It provides the example of how in a mother-child relationship the roles shift over time, with the mother initially being the caregiver and child the receiver, and then switching when the child becomes the caregiver for an elderly mother. It also briefly mentions the origins of care ethics from the work of Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings, and Gilligan's experiment on the Heinz dilemma that explored different moral perspectives between boys and girls.
