demands that morality of action should be determined by duty as well as adherence to certain rules. The individual faces a dilemma on whether to keep promise to the company and fail to disclose the issue or disclose and bear the consequences. The deontological perspective assumes that humans should be treated as objects of intrinsic moral value. However‚ the consequentialist perspective assumes that morality of an action is determined by the specific results of an action‚ in which case the salesman’s

A deontological ethical system is one that is concerned solely with the inherent nature of the act being judged. If an act is inherently good‚ then even if it results in bad consequences‚ it is still considered a good act. Teleological systems judge the consequences of an act. An act might look bad‚ but if it results in good consequences‚ then it can be defined as good under a teleological system. Ethical formalism is a deontological system because the important determinant for judging whether

The difference bewtween deontological and teleogical theories is that teleogical theories are the outcome of your actions and deontological is the actions that you perform. Teleological theories are what the consequence or outcome of what your actions do and Kant thinks that this is wrong and that we should act deontologically and act out of duty‚ not out of compassion. He believes that we should do something‚ because we have to‚ not out of compassion or if we think its morally wrong or right‚

Ethics is the study of moral philosophy‚ namely understanding which actions would be considered righteous or wicked. The secular interpretation of ethics explains that every person has a conscience that grimaces at evil and warns the wicked to repent. However‚ secular ethics has differing explanations as to why humans have this innate ability to know what behaviors ought to be avoided or encouraged. The scientific explanation posits that man’s conscience came from instincts that evolved due to biological

Utilitarianism is “actions [that] are morally permissible if and only if they produce at least as much net happiness as any other available action” ("Ethics.”).

On the four deontological systems that we have discussed‚ I would like to share my thoughts about the Kantian Deontological System. Kantian Ethics is formulated by Immanuel Kant in which he discussed that the nature of duty is based on human reason. For him‚ human reason‚ not human nature‚ can determine what is right and wrong. He also stressed that human desires are not the right measurement for ethics. In addition‚ Kantian Ethics is known for its two kinds of command or imperative: the hypothetical
