Explanation / Answer

Question 9

a. The former examines the motivation of the decision maker versus the consequences of the decision while the latter defends equals should be treated equally and that unequals should be treated unequally in relationship to their relevant inequalities and differences.

According to deontology, consequences are unimportant, what matters is the motivation behind the decisions of the decision maker.

According to distributive justice, equals should be treated equally and unequals should be treated unequally with respect to their relevant inequalities and differences.

According to utilitarianism, happiness, utility, pleasure, pain and anguish can be qualitified. For example, happiness can be quantified in terms of customer satisfaction rating.
