Teleological frameworks focus in the results of the conduct of the individual is favorable or not. The three teleological frameworks are ethical egoism, utilitarianism, Sidgwick’s dualism.
“Ethical egoism is based on the belief that every individual should act in a way to promote himself or herself if the net result will generate, on balance, positive rather than negative results” (Stanwick & Stanwick, 2009, p. 4). This framework permits self-interest to play a role in the action of the person only if those actions should also have positive benefits to others. (Stanwick & Stanwick, 2009). There are controversial opinions about this framework because different interpretations of what is considered on balance. Supporters of ethical egoism argue that his framework is the only ethical framework that motivates individual and is a “win-win” proposition. The individual reward him or her self-interest while also yielding benefits for others. Opponents of this framework state that part of the connection of the actions that motivate a person also requires certain obligations of him an individual. (Stanwick & Stanwick, 2009). The second teleological framework is utilitarianism which “is based on the principle that each person’s actions add to the overall utility of the community impacted by those actions” (Stanwick & Stanwick, 2009, p. 5). This frameworks focus on the net results of their actions instead of the means or motives that generated the reason for those actions. (Stanwick & Stanwick, 2009). Also this framework causes in favor and oppose opinions. People who support utilitarianism states that captures the essence of benevolent behavior would not do actions that help others if that action doesn’t benefits the self-interest of the individuals.
