Kantian Deontology Case Study

Question 1
Rule utilitarianism says that we can get more beneficial result by following the rules better than following individual actions. This rule is based on morality which is if everybody follows them it would lead to a greater happiness. This rule is called the x rules which promote greater happiness for greatest number. The x Rules is automatically the right rule to follow and any compliant with the X is the good and right thing to do universally. In this case the manufacture of medicine called Nurofen made a misleading conduct by making a fraud. They make a medicine which they told for the specific type of pain with double the price with the same ingredient and no more effectiveness for treating the pain which is described on the packaging

In order to see whether this action is good or not, with Kant theory tends to look into the moral or the reason or intention behind an action rather than its consequences.

They also did not do Universalisable, in this case they don’t tell the truth about their goods. They also do not respect the autonomy of their consumer, they banned the autonomy for its consumer to choose which kind of cars they

With these company cannot just behave like the way they want, they also need to pay attention to the environment near the company, and the solution for this example is to recycle their pollution so it will not harm the near environment.so right now Indonesia company are using CSR program in order to reduce the pollution they caused. The Social and Economics inequalities tells that even though there are unbalanced between the distribution of the social and economics parts, however it still be okay if an improvement for this part is still a beneficial thing to get for the least beneficial person, for example Service company like Hotel of Indonesia, the improvement of this hotel of course will bring more wealth to its owner and employee, even though the distribution of wealth is unbalanced between all the stakeholder, it’s still a good chance to have, because the wealthier the company the more service they can provide to their
