The deontological approach is like having a map of the maze, but you can only follow the designated paths. You know exactly which way to go, but you might miss shortcuts or more efficient routes. The focus here is on following established rules and principles, even if they seem outdated or inflexible. Is the action itself inherently right or wrong, regardless of the potential consequences?

Finally, the virtue-based approach is like having a flashlight and a compass within the maze. You can see where you’re going and have a general direction, but you still need to make choices about the best path. This approach emphasizes developing good character traits like honesty, courage, and compassion. These virtues guide your decision-making, allowing you to navigate the maze thoughtfully and ethically, even when faced with unexpected turns.
