1. Differentiate theological ethics to deontological ethics.
Teleological Ethics is the result of an action as the way of
determining whether that action is good. The questions this raises are how we may be certain of the full consequences of a given action, and the principle of double effect whereby somewhat negative effects are considered “offset” by more positive effects of the same course of action. On the other hand, deontological ethics profess that an action is good if it conforms with a prescribed set of rules or duties. It begs the question of why these sets of rules or duties are to be considered good; second, there is the inevitable conundrum of having to choose from two or more options, each of which conflict with one or more rule.
