of the three theories that we looked at the second half of the semester‚ utilitarianism‚ deontology‚ and virtue‚ I think the virtue theory is the most accurate of them all. The theory says a person is determined good or bad based on their character. I think that is most accurate because if a person is constantly acting badly‚ then they would be considered a bad person.

Of course‚ in following with the deontology theory we must remember that we treat everyone as an end in themselves and not a means to an end.

If yes‚ then the action is moral and if not‚ then the action is immoral. Although it appears that Kant’s point of deontology reject that lying is permissible in my scenario‚ there is a facet of Kant’s philosophy‚ his theory of duty that
