Consequentialism and deontology are two often debated theories regarding moral ethics. Consequentialists rely on which right decision will provide the greatest amount of good. Followers of deontology, however, choose what is right based on decisions regardless of the possible outcome. For example, consequentialism as a form of utilitarianism might allow one to give up to save a group, while deontology would not allow such a move since the rights of individuals are being overlooked. These theories are constantly tested in the moral problems of the trolley and the catwalk. In the trolley problem, a runaway trolley will kill five people, but can be diverted onto another track where only one individual will die. The walkway problem is similar, but instead of changing tracks you would have to push a large man in front of the trolley. These cases are directly relevant to moral theory because they test human intuitions. Both cases are morally difficult, as it may seem acceptable to sacrifice one's life for others as in the case of the trolley, but when pushing an individual to do so makes it unacceptable. Moral philosophers use these cases in an attempt to understand how people use utilitarian methods to make a moral decision that might cause lasting effects. Joshua Greene is the author of the article The Secret Joke of Kant's Sou. Use support to identify that consequentialism and deontology are “two different ways of moral thinking” (Greene). Greene makes clear that people's intuitions and moral judgments are simply logical reasons for human decision making. Greene states: “We decide what is right or wrong on the basis of emotionally driven intuitions and then, if necessary, invent reasons to explain and justify our judgment… middle of paper… nge of Cultural Relativism had examples of how different cultures they react differently to different situations, but almost all cultures recognize that killing an innocent individual for no reason is wrong. I think evolution helped create the framework for human intuitions, but cultural and social influences are what finished the project. Works Cited Nadelhoffer, Thomas, Eddy A.
