Compare and contrast between utilitarianism and KantianismAn analysis of confidentiality1. Introduction Have any of us witnessed a group discussion about an ethical decision regarding a specific case study with many conflicting versions of the story? It's interesting to follow. Some debaters feel so confident that they are "right" that they will persist until they win the hearts of their opponents. Some participants will simply chat and attempt to analyze the situation from varying dimensions (Lukas 72).

This article seeks to explore the theories supporting each of the systems, deeply analyzing the underlying facts and interpreting for the audience the channel of ethical action with the application of the two ethical systems, and the importance of this pickle. I have chosen to critically analyze Utilitarianism and Kantian Theories of Ethics because there are times when the two appear to be diabolically opposed, as would be determined by the theoretical reasoning involved in choosing a course of action (Zack 92).
