Deontology
Deontological ethics (from the Greek Deon meaning
obligation) or Deontology is an ethical theory holding that
decisions should be made solely or primarily by considering
one's duties and the rights of others. Deontology posits the
existence of a priori moral obligations, further suggesting
that people ought to live by a set of permanently defined
principles that do not change merely as a result of a change
in circumstances.

Teleology
Teleological moral systems are characterized primarily by a focus on the
consequences which any action might have (for that reason, they are often
referred to as consequentalist moral systems, and both terms are used here).
Thus, in order to make correct moral choices, we have to have some
understanding of what will result from our choices. When we make choices
which result in the correct consequences, then we are acting morally; when we
make choices which result in the incorrect consequences, then we are acting
immorally.

Ethic of Care
The ethics of care is one of a cluster of normative ethical theories that were developed by
feminists in the second half of the twentieth century. While consequentialist and deontological
ethical theories emphasize universal standards and impartiality, ethics of care emphasize the
importance of relationships. The basis of the theory is the recognition of: 1) The
interdependence of all individuals for achieving their interests; 2) The belief that those
particularly vulnerable to our choices and their outcomes deserve extra consideration to be
measured according to the level of their vulnerability to one's choices and the level of their
affectedness by one's choices and no one elses; 3) The necessity of attending to the contextual
details of the situation in order to safeguard and promote the actual specific interests of those
involved.result in the incorrect consequences, then we are acting immorally.
