Teleology

There are a number of ways I could go about making my decision. Based upon the ethical theories we discussed in class, I could take a deontological, teleological, or care-based approach to decide the best way to resolve the issue I am facing as a public relations professional. If I were to take a deontological approach to resolve this dilemma, I would give priority to the right over the good (Kymlicka, 1988).

Ethical theories, the health care charter and codes of ethics and conduct all reflect on our ethical judgements.

Deontological ethics is basically the study of duties which are used to perform certain actions regardless of the consequences. Deontology comes from the Greek roots: deos, meaning duty, and logos, meaning study.

For example, it is a police officer’s duty to protect and serve and by doing so he issues citations to…

Aristotle also focuses on the idea that everything aims for an end (teleology) or a feeling of completeness. His theory of how to become a better person lacks procedure, which is why it fails. Virtue ethics aims to tell us how we ought to be.
