Consequentialism
Definition
A theory where an action is decided accepted as positive or negative based on its outcome resulting in consequences.
Criteria
The Dichotomy of good or bad is established from the outcome of the decision. This can vary by person, society, and country.
Tipping Is viewed as a gratuity in Canada, but maybe be taken as offensive in other countries.
Example
Our actions. If we do something positive, we are praised for it. If we do something wrong, we are punished.
Like breaking the law, a consequentialist approach would be to punish that person with a fine, jail time, or some other punishment.
Non-Consequentialism
Definition
A theory that places value on intrinsic properties regarding the rightness or wrongness of an action, not on its consequences or outcome.
-
Criteria
It is up to the intrinsic values of a person to determine right from wrong. Not the result of the action. Self-governance is present here.
