This was our first week in man 3105, this unit has brought to into light different theories that are important to understand considering business ethics. They were a couple of theories that grabbed my attention and concepts. I would like to explore the consequentialist and non-consequentialist theories.
The Utilitarianism theory is one I’m familiar with, but the week one module has explained it in a better way with the incorporation of the trolley dilemma.

This module helped me understand, that there are two type of egoism, one how are motived with their own self-interest and the other people Impersonal egoists (everyone should follow his or her long-term interests). The other fascinating point made in this module was psychological egoism and how it referred when individuals help other people, they do as such eventually due to the individual regale that they themselves hope to
