Question

marcy and wayne watched from a window as a car without a handicap parking sticker parked in the reserved spot in front of their office building. a woman jumped out and ran into the building. \im going to report that to the front desk,\ announced marcy indignantly.
elax,\ said wayne. \if shes fast and doesnt get caught, whats the harm?\ wayne is most likely a ________. options: character ethicist, consequentialist, deontologist, divine command theorist

Explanation:

Consequentialism judges actions based on their outcomes (harm/benefit). Wayne's focus on whether the woman's action causes harm (the consequence of not getting caught) aligns with this framework. Character ethics focuses on moral character, deontology on rules/duty, and divine command theory on religious authority, none of which match Wayne's reasoning.

Answer:

B. consequentialist
