Moral Studies Assignment
Westminster International College
Subject: Moral Studies
Lecturer: Mr. Selva
Semester: semester 5th
Student Intake: June 2011
Submission Date: 17 December 2012
1) Explain about the Deontological Theory and state some examples. Deontological moral techniques are recognized by attention to the moral law, the freedom and obligations. To make the right moral choices, we must know that our moral obligations and that the appropriate guidelines exist to control those obligations. When we adhere to our responsibility, we act fairly. When we fail to adhere to our responsibility, we act immorally. Generally, in any deontological system, our obligations and rights are identified by God. Being moral, is the answer to the question of whether we respecting God or not?
Deontological moral techniques typically stress the reasons why certain actions are performed. Just after the right moral guidelines are often not enough, instead, we have to have the right inspiration. This can allow a person is not considered wrong, even if they have damaged the moral guidelines, but only because they were inspired to adhere to some appropriate moral responsibility.
However, the right inspiration in itself is never a justified reason for activity in deontological moral techniques and cannot be used as a basis for explaining the activity as fairly right. Also, do not simply believe that something is the right responsibility to adhere to. Duties and obligations must be identified logically and is not very subjective.
There is no place in deontological techniques for very subjective feelings, but on the contrary, the majority of followers reprehended subjectivism and relativism in all its forms.
Perhaps the most essential thing to comprehend about deontological moral techniques is that their values are completely individual from any repercussions that following these concepts can have. So, if you have a moral responsibility not to lie, the lie is always so - even if it results in harm
