NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 7 Discussion 1: influence of consequential ethics as an ethical framework

The influence of consequential ethics as an ethical framework (the greatest good for the greatest number) opposes the ethical principle of deontology (i.e., the rightness of an act itself determines what is right). Both of these impact the nursing profession. Modern social exchange theories are based on the principle of utility. Read the assumptions of social exchange theory and consider how these would affect the nurse-patient relationship, compared to how these impact the nurse within the health care environment. To what extent are all theories ethical? Is social exchange theory compatible with the values of the nursing profession?Discussion 1: influence of consequential ethics as an ethical framework

Influence of consequential ethics as an ethical framework

Introduction

Consequential ethics is an ethical framework that defines right and wrong based on the consequences of an action. The principle states that what a person does is right if it produces good consequences and wrong if it produces bad ones. The consequentialist believes that the ends justify the means, that one should be concerned with producing the best outcomes possible. This idea comes into play when you consider how things affect each other in the long run. Consequentialism also says that people have a responsibility to choose actions which produce good outcomes even if this involves doing something we would normally consider immoral or unethical in order to reach those ends

Consequential ethics is an ethical framework that defines right and wrong based on the consequences of an action.

Consequentialism is an ethical theory that focuses on what happens as a result of making a choice instead of why you made it. The principle states that what a person does is right if it produces good consequences and wrong if it produces bad ones.

The word “consequentialism” comes from the Latin words “consequentia” (a consequence) and “sistere” (to stop). It was first used in 1891 by an American philosopher named Henry Sidgwick who wrote about how consequentialism could be used as a framework for moral reasoning. In other words, consequentialists believe that we should base our decisions around how our actions affect others rather than why we choose to act in certain ways or whether our actions are right or wrong at all!

The principle states that what a person does is right if it produces good consequences and wrong if it produces bad ones.

The principle states that what a person does is right if it produces good consequences and wrong if it produces bad ones. This principle can be applied to any action, including making a decision or performing an action. The consequences of an action are either good or bad; they can include both direct and indirect results of an act. For example, if you buy a new car, then you have purchased something that will last for many years and provide value to yourself as well as others around you in society at large (the direct result).

The second major element of consequential ethics is its focus on intentions rather than actions themselves:

The consequentialist believes that the ends justify the means, that one should be concerned with producing the best outcomes possible.

The consequentialist believes that the ends justify the means, that one should be concerned with producing the best outcomes possible. This view is contrasted with those who believe that ethics must be concerned with a particular moral principle or value (e.g., right or wrong).

The consequences of an action, whether physical or moral, are all-important to consequentialists. Therefore, it is irrelevant how one comes to know what consequences are likely to occur as a result of an act; they do not necessarily exist within themselves as part of their definition. For example: If someone were to push you off a cliff into water below and then throw rocks at your head until you drowned before jumping after them in order for them not get caught by police officers nearby who might come across them trying not only save yourself but also catch those responsible for killing me would I consider such actions justified?

The notion of ‘ends justifying means’ comes into play when you consider how things affect each other in the long run.

The notion of “ends justifying means” comes into play when you consider how things affect each other in the long run. If I am hungry for food, and my hunger is so severe that it outweighs any moral qualms about eating meat from an animal who was slaughtered for me, then I may do whatever it takes to get fed—even if that means stealing from someone else.

In some cases, this can be seen as a good thing: a person who has no sense of ethics or morality might find themselves doing something they would otherwise not do because they are hungry enough to justify it. However, there are times when these same people might have been led astray by their own desires; perhaps there was another way in which these individuals could have gotten what they wanted without resorting to such morally reprehensible behaviour (such as spending time reading up on vegetarian recipes).

Consequences can be either direct or indirect.

A consequence can be either direct or indirect. Direct consequences are those that are immediate, while indirect consequences are those that take time to show up. For example, if you throw a rock at someone’s window and shatter it immediately, this is considered a direct consequence. If you wait until later in the day when your target has gone into work and destroyed their computer systems with viruses (this would be an indirect consequence), then it would no longer be considered “direct” but rather “indirect” because its impact would be felt over time as well as through other individuals who may not have been directly affected by your actions at first glance — but could still suffer after having contact with them due to their proximity with others who were affected by whatever damage done during those initial hours of calamity caused by yours!

Examples of direct consequences are harm to a person or their property, or loss of money or something else of value.

Direct consequences are more obvious than indirect consequences. For example, a person who breaks into your home and steals money from you is considered to have harmed you in a direct way because they violated an important part of your life. On the other hand, if a company loses money because of poor business practices and then decides to lay off workers as part of their response, this would be considered an indirect consequence of those poor decisions — but it’s still not good for any involved parties!

In order to determine whether an action is right or wrong based on its consequences (the way we do now), we need some kind of system by which we can compare them against each other so that there can be some idea what “good” means.

Consequential ethics is an ethical theory that focuses on what happens as a result of making a choice instead of why you made it

Consequential ethics is an ethical theory that focuses on what happens as a result of making a choice instead of why you made it. It’s an approach to moral decision-making, and it emphasizes the importance of considering both the consequences and their causes when deciding what’s right or wrong.

The key idea behind consequentialism is that while some actions may be morally neutral, others have consequences that are either positive or negative—and these effects determine whether your actions were good or bad.

Consequentialists argue that when choosing between two options, we should choose the one with the better outcome for society at large (or even just for ourselves).

Conclusion

Consequentialism is an ethical framework that focuses on what happens as a result of making a choice instead of why you made it. It’s an approach to decision-making that considers all the possible consequences of your actions, both direct and indirect. In this article we’ve explored how consequentialists think about ethics and if there are any problems with their philosophy.
