Question 4 of 6

4. Question
Which of the following best describes Deontological vs. Consequentialist criterion approaches?
- The deontological approach is a philosophy that states a situation (in this case a debate) should be looked at holistically rather than each of its parts. Whereas the consequentialist approach states that the side (affirmative or negative) that fails to show why their case is valuable, suffers the consequence of losing the round.
- The deontological approach is a philosophy that focuses on whether or not a situation (or in this case, debate) is just. Whereas the consequentialist approach is where the affirmative relays the consequences of failing to state the criteria in a debate.
- The deontological approach is a philosophy that requires the means of achieving goals be moral. Whereas the consequentialist approach would place equal or greater weight on the outcomes of an action to determine its value
- The deontological approach is a philosophical approach to the debate; the judge must critique the round based on the philosophical theory set-up by the affirmative team. Whereas the consequentialist approach suggests that there should be consequences for the side whose plan does not value life.
- The deontological approach is a philosophy that requires each of the arguments in a debate to be examined and weighted based on if the arguments are valuable to enhancing society as a whole. Whereas the consequentialist approach suggests more weight should be placed on the arguments that acknowledge potential consequences of a given plan.

- A criterion of net-benefits simply calculates the benefits, or advantages, of a plan and subtracts the costs, or disadvantages of the plan.
- A criterion of net-benefits simply states that whichever plan casts a bigger "net" and benefits the most people, should be more heavily valued.
- A criterion of net-benefits simply calculates the amount of money it will cost to make a plan happen; the least expensive plan should be more heavily valued.
- A criterion of net-benefits simply states that whichever plan casts a wider "net," in other words, whichever plan affects more people, will benefit the greater good, regardless of the disadvantages.
