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.
