    The document discusses the ethical theory of deontology. Deontology holds that actions are right or wrong based on adherence to rules of duty, irrespective of the consequences. It means one is obligated to perform certain actions because it is their duty, not because of results. The example given is of a security guard whose duty is to protect mall patrons. Seeing a terrorist about to detonate a bomb, the guard's duty-based action under deontology would be to shoot the terrorist in order to save lives, without consideration of outcomes of that action.

    So, I have a situation here in which it is a great


    example of Deontology.

    You are a security guard in a mall and your duty


    is to keep the safety and security of mall and the
    people inside it. You have seen a man that is a
    terrorist that is going to start the timer. And you
    have a gun beside you.

    With that situation what are you going to do?


    Can I ask someone from the ELT about your
    opinion if you’re that security guard. What will
    you do?

    From the FSM group what are your opinion or


    what will you do if you’re the security guard?
