Utilitarianism is a natural way to see whether an act is the right (or wrong thing to do) is to look at its results, or consequences. Utilitarianism argues that given a set of choices the act we should chose is that which produces the best results for the greatest number affected by that choice. (Mosser 2013)

Deontology- Coming from the Greek Deon, which means “duty”, deontology 9somtimes referred to as duty ethics) focuses on what we are obligated to do as rational moral agents. (Mosser,2013)

As being a correction officer I have been in a lot of situation with one of the three classical Ethical Theories. Just this past weekend doing visitation our computers when down at work. We using these computers to submit people in to see there family members (inmates) that’s lock up, I knew that she wanted to see her son bad so I took it upon myself to go out my way so that she could see her son after getting confirmation from my supervisor. What I chose to do was good because I could have told her that she couldn’t visit her son today try back another day.
