Explain what deontological and teleological approaches to ethics are. Which one do you believe in?

What will be an ideal response?


Deontological ethical systems are concerned with whether the act itself is good. Teleological ethical systems are focused on the consequences of the act. If the act itself is moral or ethical, then someone who is guided by a deontological framework is not concerned about the consequences of the act. It is enough to just act in a moral fashion. Someone who is guided by a teleological ethical system does not care so much about the rightness or the wrongness of the act, but about whether the consequences of the act are good.
