A Climax Reached in the Unified Theory of Ethics

With the release of a new paper entitled "The Beautiful Simplicity of Ethical Concepts" a new level of understanding or a breakthrough may have been achieved in ethical theorizing. [This essay may be supplemented by the explanation by Dr. Robert W. Fuller as to what is meant by the concept "rankism."] This comes up in the overlap between Moral Psychology and Moral Philosophy. Dr. Fuller elucidates it as follows:

Addendum: Let it be noted here that in emergency situations, such as discovering that you are in a building that is burning down, or in a foxhole getting shot at, ethics is suspended. Survival will be your first priority. That is understandable. If you believe you are capable, in that burning building scenario, of rescuing a child whose voice you may hear in the background, fine. Attempt to do it. For that is the kind of person you are. It is preferable, though, for you to have rational reasons for believing that you can make that rescue.
Please let me know what you think with regard to this analysis of Ethical Theory.
What would you add to make the theory more complete?
Do you have some improvements, upgrades, or enhancements?
Rankism is the degradation of those with less power or lower rank. It’s somebodies using the power of their rank to humiliate or disadvantage those they see as nobodies. Rankism is no more defensible than racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. In fact, rankism—putting people down and keeping them there—is the mother of all the ignoble isms.
Eradicating rankism doesn’t require eliminating rank any more than overcoming racism means getting rid of race or delegitimizing sexism means eliminating gender. Rank can be a useful organizational tool that, used respectfully, helps facilitate cooperation.
The abuse of rank, however, is invariably an affront to human dignity. Rankism stifles initiative, taxes productivity, harms health, and stokes revenge. By giving rankism a face President Trump has unmasked it.
Once you have a name for it, you realize that rankism is everywhere in plain sight. Bullying, belittling, derision, corruption, harassment, and self-aggrandizement—these are all manifestations of rankism. The sooner we pin a generic name on them, the sooner we’ll be able to show them all the door.
Successful movements require two things: they must know what they’re for and what they’re against. A Dignity Movement is for dignity and it’s against rankism.
