Where duty lies
Deontological ethics ask questions about who has rights, or what our duty is, or what justice requires. A deontologist is guided by ethical principles but can take into account extreme consequences (if these exist). The deontological approach is taken further by people who hold absolute beliefs. An example of an absolutist approach is when someone says it is always wrong to break a promise no matter what will happen.
