The deontological theory states that people should adhere to their obligations
and duties when analyzing an ethical dilemma. This means that a person will
follow his or her obligations to another individual or society because upholding
ones duty is what considered ethically correct.
Example:
A deontologist will always keep his promises to a friend and will follow the law.
Hence, a person who follows this theory will produce very consistent decisions
since they will be based on the individuals set duties
Deontology derives the rightness or wrongness of ones conduct from the
character of the behavior itself rather than the outcomes of the conduct.
Example:
A deontologist might argue that lying is always wrong, regardless of any
potential good that might come from lying.
