The phrase "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is reflective of which ethical theory?
a. Teleology c. justice and equity
b. Beneficence d. Deontology
D
The ethical concept of deontology concerns actions and behaviors that are based on moral rules and unchanging principles. The phrase "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a good example of this type of thinking. According to the ethical principle of teleology, people should take actions that lead to good outcomes. Beneficence is the duty to do good to others and maintain a balance between benefits and harms. Justice and equality deal with unbiased decision making and the selection of the action that is fair to all.
