DQ 3.1 In Chapter Five in your text we read that European philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) argued that people should do what is morally right no matter the consequences.

Deontological ethicists argue that we ought to make choices based on our duty (deon is the Greek word for duty). Fulfilling our obligations may run contrary to our personal interests.
