What is Deontology?
This is also known as “duty based ethics”. This ideology states that the correct course of action is dependent on what your duties and obligations are. Therefore, the morality of an action is based on whether you followed the rules, rather than what the consequence of following them was.
Example: this in direct contrast with consequentialism. A deontological approach to the scenario above would suggest that lying would not be considered morally acceptable, because it is our obligation not to lie, no matter what the consequences
