Ethical Theories

In an effort to understand the ethical theories I need some clarification on their definitions, sub theories that may fall under each definition and a real world example so I can relate it to my life. The four theories that I am aware of are Duty based ethics, Goal based ethics, Rights based ethics and Human Nature ethics. Any assistance and direction you can give that would help me better understand their definitions, any possible sub theories that may fall under each one and then a real world example I think it would help me understand what I have read. Thank you!
