Hmmm

Answer 5

wot dat mean

Answer 6

Consequentialism is the class of normative ethical theories holding that the consequences of one's conduct are the ultimate basis for any judgment about the rightness or wrongness of that conduct. Thus, from a consequentialist standpoint, a morally right act is one that will produce a good outcome, or consequence.

Answer 7

So ya i guess

Answer 8

Consequentialism is the idea that the ethics of something should be judged based on the end result or the consequence of whatever the action is. Deontology is the idea that the ethics should be judged based on the actions themselves.

Answer 9

Here's why I believe they personally don't. The ends are almost always a subjective idea, one of utopia or perfection. An example of the ends being subjective is; Nero one of Rome's many emperors had an idea to build a beautiful garden in Rome and the spot he picked to do it was one where numerous houses already were so Nero decided to burn down the houses and build the garden then build new houses for the people that were now homeless. However, the fire got out of control and burned down half of Rome. Even if Nero's plan worked as he wanted it to, the end goal does not justify him burning down people's homes.
