Deontological ethics Essay
Attempting to explain the differences and similarities of virtue theory, utilitarianism and deontological is basically from my own understanding of each. I am having much difficulty interpret the materials as well as sitting at this computer for any length of time. I believe my reading visual is deteriorating at a rapid pace because of the straining to my eyes. Virtue ethics focuses on a persons character and morals. This person exit always try to do what is salutary because he was taught at an early age and by someone he loves and wants to always please by doing the rightly thing, regardless of the consequences. Utilitarianism focuses on the consequences of your actions.What I mean by that is that if you steal something and not get caught, there are no consequences. No one knows that you stole and then you do not have to answer to anyone but yourself. Deontology focuses on the outcome of the act whether right or wrong. The person steals food from a grocery fund because his chi ldren are hungry and he does not have the money to buy food. Although it is his responsibility to feed his children, stealing is clearly wrong.The consequences did not matter at that token time he did what he felt he had to do. Recently there was an incident on my route where a woman called in to my job and conveyed to my A-one that I was talking about Jesus on the bus and she was offended. I was called in and reprimanded and told not to speak about religion on the bus.My response to her was, is that right? Quite a few of my regular passengers know that I am a minister and talk to me regularly about the Bible, Jesus and the Christian faith. base on the virtue ethics, I was taught to speak the word of God in season and out of season, when it is time or easy and when it is not a effectual time or hard. This is my first and most important job and regardless of the consequences, I will continue to preach the word and pray for anyone who desires to hear it. I will always try to pleas e Jesus in whatever I do.
