According to Britannica (2014), the 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant said: “Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law. Halbert & Ingulli (2012) state: “deontological ethics is marked by firmness towards universal principles – for example, respect for life, fairness, telling the truth, keeping one's promises – whatever the consequences. » Under this approach, Jane should have no fear of expressing her concerns, regardless of the outcome of the retaliation. On the other hand, this approach emphasizes a person's ability to keep promises. Based on the case study, it was clear that Eddie had specifically informed Jane of the need to maintain strict confidentiality regarding employees' salaries and pay scale. Therefore, Jane, by accepting the job, would have an obligation to keep this promise to Eddie, and if not, she would suffer the consequences. . However, this approach says a lot about absolute fairness, and truth be told, I would therefore recommend that Jane adopt this approach rather than utilitarianism.
