Basis for Christian Ethics Ethics are standards of conduct or guidelines for behaviour. We often qualify ethics to apply to a particular profession or group‚ as in medical ethics or legal ethics‚ by which we mean the expected behaviour and conduct of members of a particular profession to their clients and to other professionals.

In this essay I have chosen to compare two opposing theories‚ Immanuel Kant ’s absolutist deontological ethics and Joseph Fletchers relativist situation ethics. The deontological ethics focuses on actions made according to duty and the categorical imperative - which shows how acts are intrinsically good or bad.
