One of the example of deontology is Stealing.

Deontology regards actions as either right or wrong, regardless of context. For example, your
brother's illness is worsening, but you don't have enough money to treat him or take him to the
hospital, so you have no choice but to steal money or expensive things from people in order to
treat his illness. We grew up by our parents, teachers, and everyone around telling us not to
steal because it is bad and a wrong act. We imagine that a person stealing is very wrong and
untrustful. Following the rules is the only thing that matters in deontology. It does not require
weighing the costs and benefits of the situation.
