Deontology Deontological ethics (from the Greek
Deon meaning obligation) or Deontology is an
ethical theory holding that decisions should be
made solely or primarily by considering one's
duties and the rights of others. Deontology
posits the existence of a priori moral
obligations, further suggesting that people ought
to live by a set of permanently defined
principles that do not change merely as a result
of a change in circumstances.

Care-Based Situational
Teleology Teleological moral systems are
characterized primarily by a focus on the
consequences which any action might have (for
that reason, they are often referred to as
consequentalist moral systems, and both terms are
used here). Thus, in order to make correct moral
choices, we have to have some understanding of
what will result from our choices. When we make
choices which result in the correct consequences,
then we are acting morally when we make choices
which result in the incorrect consequences, then
we are acting immorally.

Ethic of Care The ethics of care is one of a
cluster of normative ethical theories that were
developed by feminists in the second half of the
twentieth century. While consequentialist and
deontological ethical theories emphasize
universal standards and impartiality, ethics of
care emphasize the importance of relationships.
The basis of the theory is the recognition of 1)
The interdependence of all individuals for
achieving their interests 2) The belief that
those particularly vulnerable to our choices and
their outcomes deserve extra consideration to be
measured according to the level of their
vulnerability to one's choices and the level of
their affectedness by one's choices and no one
elses 3) The necessity of attending to the
contextual details of the situation in order to
safeguard and promote the actual specific
interests of those involved.result in the
incorrect consequences, then we are acting
immorally.
