Full Transcript

Utilitarianism and deontology are normative ethical theories. Utilitarianism claims that an action is right or wrong depending on its consequence/s (i.e., whether it promotes pleasure/happiness or pain/unhappiness); deontology, on the other hand, argues that an action is good if it is done according to one’s duty, regardless of its consequence/s. This video provides an overview of each ethical theory and explores their differences.
