Any good anagrams for ethics of care?

The ethics of care (alternatively care ethics or EoC) is a normative ethical theory that holds that moral action centers on interpersonal relationships and care or benevolence as a virtue. EoC is one of a cluster of normative ethical theories that were developed by feminists in the second half of the twentieth century. While consequentialist and deontological ethical theories emphasize generalizable standards and impartiality, ethics of care emphasize the importance of response to the individual. The distinction between the general and the individual is reflected in their different moral questions: "what is just?" versus "how to respond?". Carol Gilligan, who is considered the originator of the ethics of care, criticized the application of generalized standards as "morally problematic, since it breeds moral blindness or indifference".Some assumptions of the theory are basic: Persons are understood to have varying degrees of dependence and interdependence on one another. Other individuals affected by the consequences of one's choices deserve consideration in proportion to their vulnerability. Situational details determine how to safeguard and promote the interests of those involved.
