Question

deciding to ship a flawed product because doing so means your company will make a lot of money is an example of ______

• consequentialism
• deontology

Explanation:

Consequentialism evaluates actions based on their outcomes; choosing to ship a flawed product for profit prioritizes the positive financial consequence over other concerns. Deontology focuses on duty/rule-following, which this violates. Morality is a broad term, and ethical decision making is the general process, not the specific framework here.

Answer:

A. Consequentialism
