What are key features of consequentialist theories?

Question Description

For this first part of the project you will be creating a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sheet highlighting Utilitarianism and Ethical Egoism, which are two of the most well-known ethical theories.

  1. What are ethics?
  2. Why do ethics vary from person to person?
  3. What are key features of consequentialist theories?
  4. What are key features of utilitarianism?
