Deontology focuses doesn’t focus on the results of certain actions, instead it focuses on the reasons for doing certain things. It is looking at your rights and you responsibilities of situations. Those who are following the deontology lifestyle believe that the most ethical path is made by following rules and standards. Deontology is more about morals and treating those how you would like to be treated. Those who follow it look to act in good faith to help other and everything thing else.…
In the first two chapters of the textbook “A Practical Companion to Ethics” written by Anthony Weston the author places a strong amount of concentration on the relationship between ethics and religion. Weston wants the reader to understand that although religion has guided us into what we view as morally right it is not the end all decision. Ethics is a rather difficult topic as humankind is constantly evolving and changing, and people often develop rather strong opinions on what is considered to be “right”. It is always possible to be virtuous without religion, however not without set morals or rules. During the Module 1 selection of the book Weston provides lots of clear evidence as to why ethics should not and does not require a religious backing.…
A mother Chelsea Reed and her son Justin were rushed into the hospital after they were injured in a car accident. Mrs. Reed has a head laceration and a fractured wrist. Her son is suffering from internal bleeding and needs to have emergency surgery to stop the bleeding. The doctor informs Mrs. Reed that Justin has lost thirty percent of blood volume and will be transfused before going into surgery to make sure he does not bleed out on the operation table. As a single mother, Mrs. Reed solely responsible for informing the doctor that she does not want blood to be used to increase the blood volume in her son.…
Ethics are the moral principles that a person lives their life by, more simply, the individual sense of right and wrong. When placed beside each other, the two main branches of modern philosophical ethics, theological and humanistic, are in stark contrast. Theological ethics stem from a belief that there is a higher power that dictates moral law. The three literary works Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, The Scarlet Letter, and The Crucible, all have themes pertaining to Christian ethics, a form of theological ethics. Christian ethics are strictly written in the Bible, the Christian holy book which contains the moral law dictated by God.…
Ethics are system of moral principles by which Christian Adherents can practically apply the traditional teachings, which are ultimately unpinned by the beliefs of christianity. Thus, the process of ethical reasoning can be used to affirm the love of god and make active moral decisions within the Christian community. The fundamental sources of Christian ethical teachings reside within Jesus’s commandments of love, Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes. Each of these doctrines create a fundamental framework for the principals of ethics, and further provide an adherent with guidance to follow core beliefs and reflect in every action they take. Bioethics effectively prescribe specific guidance and moral practice in relation to the contemporary issues…

3.6: Ethical Considerations: Ethical approval was sought and granted by the Faculty of Health Sciences Institutional Review Board. The study procedure (information to be collected, test to be done and any likely adverse effect; pain from needle during sample collection) was explained in details to each prospective participants. An information notice was given to them as well as a written consent form they were required to sign if they accepted to be part of the study or a verbal consent if they could neither read nor write. For adolescents, assent was gotten from their parents or legal care takers. Patients diagnosed during December 2016 and as well those in the prospective phase, were called to either inform them about the study (its objectves,…
In chapter three of Human Kindness and The Smell of Warm Croissants, philosopher Ruwen Ogien describes a thought experiment involving a surgeon, a healthy young man and five patients who need to undergo a transplant. In this scenario, the surgeon is presented with two courses of action, either kill a healthy young man to save the lives of the five patients or to let the five patients die. The purpose of this essay is to expound how two different moral theories would decide which course of action would be morally justifiable for the surgeon. After presenting the deontological and utilitarian approach to this situation, I will argue that the surgeon should take the deontological position. Deontological ethics or deontology is a moral theory…
Deontology is a famous meta-ethical theory practiced among famous philosophers such as Immanuel Kant, W.D. Ross, Sissela Bok, and many other philosophers and influential people we know. Deontology is focused on “duty” based actions. The entire theory is focused on the duty of people and how they submit to the duty that they have. It is simply defined as duty is the basis of morality. It is also focused around looking at the consequential effects of a particular action that is done.…
Ethics and morals are weaved into multiple aspects of every persons life. They help shape people into who they are, and keep our nation united as a whole. I will be using this paper in-order to explain the similarities and differences between the of virtue theory, utilitarianism, and deontological ethics. I will also explain the idea of virtues, values, and morals with an example about my grandfather, and his time in the military, as-it relates to each of the above theories. Similarities and Differences:…
1. Deontology is driven by the duty and righteousness of an action alone rather than the consequences. Deontologists argue that “morality is a matter of duty” (Lacewing 1) and the ethical theory can often be described as “duty-based” or “obligation-based” due to the fact that we are driven by the moral duty to do right based on a moral norm (Turner 7). This ethical theory argues the consequence or justification is irrelevant and determines an action to be right or wrong based on the action itself alone. Deontology differs from its opposing ethical theory Consequentialism, by stating that “right takes priority over good” (____).…
Deontology is the action by an individual to adhere to his own independent morals and any related rules and regulations. This concept is closely related to ethics where an individual performs a certain action due to the morality behind it or the duty associated with the action. In the situation of professional setups, a person is required to adhere to certain rules and regulations as a form of duty. Disclosure of information that may be considered private is one such action. While in some circumstances, the so-called whistleblowers will disclose information in the name of duty or ethics, the data exposed may be potentially harmful to national interest.…
Deontology focuses on the “principle of the matter” or the actions. Teleology tends to focus more the consequences of the situation. While those who practice Kant’s deontology are bound by duty, the followers of utilitarianism are driven by the pursuit of happiness for all. These two theories are completely opposite in every aspect whether it be the motive, the focus, or the outcome.…
Derived from the Greek word deon, meaning duty, Deontology maintains that we are morally obligated to act in accordance with a certain set of principles regardless of outcome. Since the end result should not be taken into consideration, Deontology is a form of nonconsequentialism. Kant argued that the moral value of an action is determined by human will, and good will “is the only thing in the world that can be considered good without qualification” (Kant, 1785). A person must act in accordance with categorical imperatives, meaning one must do an action for the sake of the action and should will that action to become universal law. The Ones…
