Teleological Vs Deontological Analysis

The main focus of this paper is to better understand the ethical system. Ethical system is defined as beliefs of being right or wrong; it can be from religious values or even personal experiences. The topics I will focus on is deontological, then talk a little about the differences between deontological and teleological. Based on the ethical system we have discussed in class, the one that fits me best would be egoism. It fits me best because self-interest is definitely something that describes me, that 's something people say about me when they first meet me. I also think another way to put this ethical system would be pursuit of your own interests. It describes me because I do what it takes to make me feel better about myself.

Right there is when I realized I can’t be like this I have to change. That’s when ethic of care comes in, I had to make a change and start to care for others and not just myself. These conflicts are moral issues and the result of the arrangements will influence the lives of the people included. A few clashes will influence a man 's life more than different clashes, however all arrangements require thinking behind the decisions
